The Doggone Pet Care King!

Pet care experience

Howdy! I want to take care of your dog. I love all kinds of breeds, from the smallest Chihuahua to the largest Great Dane. Small dogs, however, hold a special place in my heart - just ask my nine-year old Pomeranian, who I rescued in 2023. I have loads of senior care experience as well, and am more than happy to do whatever it takes to ensure your pal has the best possible time in my care.

Nick was great! He initiated a meet and greet prior to our dog’s first walk, which was super helpful. He made sure Reggie got in a good walk and had plenty of water afterward. Will definitely book with Nick in the future!

Nick was very good with Kenzie. He took care of her for a long weekend and let us knw when he walked her. She was very happy. I would recommend him to anyone.

Safety, trust & environment

I respect every aspect of your home - I’ll clean up any mess left from mealtime, make sure that the floors are dry after a drink of water, and wash any dish that I use in my time (for extended stays). In addition, I’m happy to get mail or take out any garbage to the curb.

Information Nick J. would like to know about your pet

I'm happy to schedule meet-and-greets (free of charge) to get to know your pal, where we can discuss all that they like (and I take comprehensive notes!) and what they need each visit. If your pet has special needs, give me a heads-up, and we can walk through what it looks like at a meet-and-greet or you can simply write it out for me. Whatever's better and easier for you!

A typical day

If I'm looking after a dog, we'll go hard in the playtime paint -- we'll run around with their favorite toy (indoors or outdoors if preferred), go for some long walks, head to the dog park, enjoy some treats, and generally just have a fun time. If I'm looking after a cat, the same holds, just with some extra catnip!
