Dog lover, experienced trainer

Pet care experience

As an experienced dog owner and trainer I provide not only services described, but try to instill training and learning opportunities for your dog to be their better self. I can provide Walking, playing, down time, feeding, medication, and more. I have several years experience as a dog trainer and know how to handle just about every kind of dog breed and temperament. I am willing to go the extra mile to make sure you know your dog is being well cared for, and to provide the care that your dog needs. Moreover, I am fully comfortable providing any extra or special care your dog might need and am experienced in doing so as well.

Nick has been our cat sitter for over a year, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very first visit, it was clear that Nick possesses a genuine love for animals, we always feel like our cat is in safe hands when in Nick's care. In addition, he's always gone above and beyond to ensure our cat is not only well-fed and safe but also happy and loved in our absence.

Nick was absolutely fantastic! He was so sweet with my dog and even taught her a new trick! You can tell he treats each of the dogs in his care with kindness and respect. I would definitely use him again to walk or watch my dog!

Nick is great with both my dog and cat who are rescues! My dog usually doesn’t like strangers but warmed up to Nick in no time. He’s punctual and takes great care of my babies. I have also had him pet sit for a couple weekends and he left the house in perfect condition!

I hired Nick to dog sit for two days while I had a work conference, and I was blown away by how much my dog loved him! She sometimes takes some time to warm up to people, but Nick came in with such warmth and patience that she took to him right away, and I felt so much more at ease about leaving her for a few days. Nick took great care of her while I was gone and I came home to a very happy dog! I will definitely be calling Nick the next time I need someone to watch her.

Safety, trust & environment

I take care to make sure there are limited distractions, hazards, and negative environments in my home to make sure your dog is safe and comfortable as possible. When I meet a new dog, or train, I used reward-based positive reinforcement training techniques so your pup can expect lots of treats.

Information Nick G. would like to know about your pet

What the temperament of the dog is and how it gets along with other dogs. How much you want your dog to be engaged and stimulated throughout the day.

A typical day

Toy time and walks (maybe even runs) in large public parks and in the backyard will be the main events. Dog parks if your dog is ok with that, or lots of couch time if that’s more their speed
