My dog asked me to sign up!

Pet care experience

I guess I should start by saying that I LOVE dogs! I owned my own pet walking/sitting business in the early 2000's and while I have taken care of many pets over the years, I now have my own, his name is Whaler, and he has been in my life for about 2 years now. He basically allows me to live with him but my MAIN focus in life is to take care of him and adventure as much as possible. We're constantly swimming, running, hiking, or just eating ice cream while I ask him about his day. If your dog(s) are staying over, or we're staying at your place - we’ll just have fun and go on adventures. It could be a trip to the beach, or a hike, or a long walk in the many wooded areas near my home, or just chewing some bones from the butcher, or WHATEVER! I consider it to be a sleepover for my dog, so I will rent a movie, get them some pizza, and let them just enjoy hanging out! Trust me - life revolves around the pets, so I promise I'll be a good babysitter! I'll most likely text you pictures of them all day!

Nick is AMAZING! I was so nervous and hesitant about finding a new dog-sitter after George got hurt by another dog at his previous sitter's house. Nick made me feel immediately at-ease and reassured me that George would be well taken care of by him and his pup, Whaler. He assured me he would get tons of snuggles and bones and followed through with his word! He has kept me updated with photos of George and Whaler (even one of them sleeping with their little legs intertwined!) and I know George has been in a loving and safe space while I'm working the overnight shift. I highly recommend Nick for all of your dog-sitting needs!! Thank you, Nick!! :)

Nick (and Whaler) are wonderful pet sitters. A recent last minute trip had us concerned that we would have to kennel our dogs - until we met Nick. He was prompt and professional, answering all our questions and putting us at ease. We are fortunate to have found such a great resource and I can, without reservation, recommend Nick, (and Whaler) very highly.

Nick is one of the most dedicated dog owners I know. He’s also one of the first people I think of when I need a sitter for our three dogs because I know that he will care for them like his own. Nick is quick to bond with all dogs. Whaler is a lucky boy to have him as a dad and your dog will be lucky to be in his care.

I can’t say enough about how amazing Nick is with dogs...His own dog, Whaler, is one super spoiled pooch who Nick dotes upon in every which way! There is no I would trust more with my puppers. Consider yourself lucky to have this guy babysit, walk, or simply play with your pet. He’s one of the purest dog lovers I’ve ever met!
