Foster Pop to Many Pups Big & Small
Pet care experience
First off, I love dogs! All dogs!!! Give me a dog and I’m in heaven and soon they will be too. My hands (which my Mother has repeatedly said were “modeling hands”) are primed to pet your furry li’l’ dudes and dudettes until their hearts’ content. I love going on walks (even without a dog) but I much prefer to have a canine companion along for the trip. I’ve trained and raised my childhood Labrador Retriever named Chessie and my adopted Miniature Pinscher named Achilles “Killer” until old age. I’ve fostered many pups, all with different special needs. Eddie the Jack Russell was abused and would pee everywhere and hide when ANY human entered a room. He was adopted when he became a much chiller dog after only a week! Luna a Pitbull/Rhodesian mix was nothing but skin and bones and her tail would spray blood everywhere like Mortal Kombat whenever she wagged it, after being in a confined kennel for too long. She is now all muscle, fur, and happiness in her new home! I’ve trained dogs young to old according to their owners’ various training philosophies. All my friends with puppers ask me to watch their dogs when they go out of town because they know I love them so much; they don’t have to pay me anything. I even walk dogs at my friends’ houses during parties and such- just because! A super weird quality in a friend, but a wonderful compulsion for your future dog-walker/sitter/best-friend! Let me make sure your pups is well taken care of when you can’t be there with them.
Reviews
We treat our ladies like humans, so we were worried about leaving them with someone we didn’t know. Nick did an amazing job! We will never worry again. The ladies loved him. He also took wonderful care of our house while we were gone. 100% will use his services again if he’s available!
Nick was awesome! Our pup and our house were well taken care of. Our dog does not warm up quickly to men, but Nick was great with her. I would recommend him to anyone!
Nick was awesome with my rescue. I’m a first time dog owner and it was her first week home so I was definitely nervous about leaving her, but she did great. She looked so happy in all the photos he sent me and wasn’t upset at all when I left for work in the mornings. Will definitely use Nick again!
Nick is always great with my dogs, and flexible with my crazy schedule!

All breeds welcome! The only adjustments I make for different breeds is if they need more exercise than the average dog. Also,if have weather conditions which may exhaust/freeze them. Some “working class” dogs need more stuff to do to keep them occupied. Others prefer some alone time. I prefer to be warned if a dog has a history of biting or aggression. Also, if you have any tips on how to avoid this. Some dogs have a particular spot they don’t like to be touched, an angle they don’t like to be approached from, or a precious object/you they don’t want touched by ANYONE. We can figure it out whatever it is and be good friends with some practice.
A typical day
Walks! Luxurious petting services! A relaxing brush of the excess follicles! It will all happen with your precious pup in my care(if it’s cool with you guys of course). Does your dog wanna fetch a stick or a ball? I’ll throw it! What about a trip to the dog park? Yassssss! When I’m taking care of a doggy they become essentially my best bud and rarely leave my side.
