Safety, trust & environment

I provide care that meets the requests of the pet parent, as each pet parent is different. I am happy to collect mail, water plants, and honor other small requests to provide peace of mind while clients are away.

Information Nick G. would like to know about your pet

I am always open to listening to the pet parent regarding any likes or dislikes of their pet such as specific treats or toys to make them comfortable.

A typical day

I enjoy playing with animals that have a lot of energy, or just sitting with and petting them or letting them get used to me as a new face in their home.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of both cats and dogs for neighbors and family friends in my hometown of East Aurora, NY for approximately ten years. I am a teacher, so I have a lot of free time in the summer months as well as a daily work schedule from September-June. I am available for pet care before and after work (early mornings, late afternoon, evening). I am also available on weekends. I have a cat of my own and grew up with cats, but have experience taking care of dogs as well. I will spend quality time with your pets if requested and am available to walk dog(s).

Nick was kind enough to help us out in a pinch! This is the second time he's taken care of our cats 🐈 😻 and it's a huge relief to have someone we trust checking in on them.

Nick watched our cats 🐈 🐈 over the holidays. Very grateful to have someone so kind and respectful of our home checking in on them! Would definitely recommend Nick! He was very responsive and was even kind enough to water our plants 🪴 (which was a huge help).

Nick was a terrific cat sitter. He was patient with my shy cats and managed to get pictures for me. He was reliable and did everything just the way I do! I can’t recommend him highly enough, Five Stars and more!

Let me tell you. Nick came in clutch and was a lifesaver. Our previous sitter cancelled with 36 hours to spare and I was PANICKING. I messaged him half awake and he responded almost immediately. I have a not very social, insulin dependent diabetic baby so, Nick had a mini challenge in front of him accepting. He came over the next evening for a meet and greet and run through on such short notice and everything. Luckily, Xavier the cat (and his 2 brothers) mostly cooperated, but Nick was ready to squeeze under the bed and in the closet to get trouble his insulin. He provided updates and pictures at every check in! Could not recommend him enough and if we ever go anywhere again, will definitely be reaching back out.
