Professional and playful caretaker

Pet care experience

Hi, In home sitting (your home) care is an 12hrs overnight (starting between 6-9pm). I've walked and pet sat for all varieties of animals. My brother is a veterinarian and I've helped care for everything from furry pets to reptiles! I've walked puppies to large dogs and can appropriately manage the walks based on size. I'm your above average caretaker with excessive walks and play time. I truly love what I do. I help manage an ongoing volunteer dog therapy program at airports in association with certified dog handlers. The goal is to help relieve travelers stress and spread joy. Working with dogs from Chihuahuas/Bull dogs to Great Danes and Greater Swiss Mountain dogs has given me a wealth of experience in assessing needs and temperment as well the overall well being for all involved. I've been in corporate roles in IT and marketing, so I am well disciplined and organized. I am very attentive to needs (both human and animals). Plenty of play time and exercise for your pet.

Nick was great as a house sitter for my two dogs Bindi and Shakti. I would highly recommend him.

Nick is amazing. His attention to detail while taking care of my paralyzed pup was great. Everything I asked him to do, for our pup, was executed to the tee. I was able to show nick how to express my pups blader once and he was able to repeat it with no problems. Nick kept a great line of communication open with me and was thoughtful enough to send me a picture of his time with my pup.

Specific care needs: -Allergies -Limitations (no running, body ailments) -Training level -Tempermant around other humans and socialization levels with other dogs/animals. Please let me know if there are any other concerns you may have and happy to discuss and to accommodate what works!

A typical day

I'm happy to adjust care based on preferences and needs you may have. In addition to the basic walk around the block I enjoy open space walks (parks, short hikes) for adequate exercise. Care includes making your pet comfortable to do thier business along with periodic playtime. Mixed/engaging intervals of light jogging and runs to play/chase. Of course pets rubs and doggie massages!
