Responsible, active animal-sitter

Pet care experience

Ever since I moved to the CU area (originally from the East Coast) I have been missing caring for animals. Over the past 4 years working in town, I have been deemed the “department animal sitter” as I have built up a positive reputation for caring for dogs and cats for my friends, coworkers and fellow CU community members. With my flexible work schedule and access to the U of I campus, I strive to provide the best care for your animals. I am flexible to meet the needs of your animal and will always provide efficient follow-up and communication to the owners to ensure satisfaction.

Nick is a great sitter for my dog Teddy. He always comes back happy and tired from his boarding trips and has a great time. Much thanks Nick!

Nick took great care of my pitboxer while I was out of town for a week. I'll definitely try to re-book with him again the next time I take a trip.

Nick was great at helping with my two senior dogs. They were very understanding and flexible with my requests. I plan on booking Nick again in the future.

Nick was great with my two dogs. I received updates constantly on how my dogs were doing. I highly recommend Nick for your dog sitting/house sitting needs.

Availability

I currently work full time for the University of Illinois as a residence hall director. Thankfully, my apartment is within feet of my office. So I am able to check on the animals as often as need be. I typically work 9am-5pm within breaks built in throughout the day. Most of my free time comes in the afternoons/evenings as I can provide long walks, play dates with other dogs, and any traveling needed for the animal.
