Pet care experience

A walk a day keeps the vet away!!

Hey there, my name is Nick! Ive been very lucky to grow up around animals and have never missed the presence of a dog or cat at home. When I left for college I realized how therapeutic my pets had been, I really felt something was missing without my cat. Her name is Moki and she's an innocent old lady. Shes coming on 13 years old, and I've loved/cared for her since she was a baby! With her back at home, I had a wonderful idea to get a dog! Her name is Molly, and she's my child of 4 years and has done so so much for me💜 I also rescued a Chihuahua mix who was pretty much feral at the time. It’s been incredible to see how she’s come along, she spends a lot of time on my lap now🥲 In college, I became the boarding guy for all of my friends. I spent a month taking care of my friend's 5-month-old lab while she was out of town and loved it! I also took care of a friend’s pit, german shepherd, and 3 cats at once to really put me to the test haha! I would love to meet some new pets and care for them like my own! I really value the experiences I have made with my own baby’s, as well as my friends! I look forward to providing a comfortable, safe, and fun environment for your furry family members!

Safety, trust & environment

Me and my dog frequent different hiking trails, and especially like Shawnee Mission Park! So that is always an option. I have no problem walking small to big dogs, as I have a chihuahua and a border collie, as well as experience with much bigger dogs. I will provide treats if wanted/allowed! I really just want to make sure you and your pet are comfortable and happy, and know that you are in good hands!

Nick has been the best!! Our pup is our world so we were anxious at first at the thought of someone new taking care of her but we’re so glad we found him. He’s so communicative, understanding, and knowledgeable. He goes above and beyond and is someone we can trust. We know that when she’s with him she’s being well cared for and treated like a princess. 😊

Nick is soooo amazing very caring and an excellent communicator! He makes sure to stay in touch with you throughout the entire process. He sent pics of my dogs and made sure they were well taken care of. I let him into my home thru my garage while I was at work he is trustworthy and I will be using him again!!!

Thank you so much for caring for Diana! We so appreciate the summary and photos! Definitely makes us less stressed when we’re gone knowing she was in great hands!

This was my third time using Nick, and the longest I was gone from Kitty (10 days overseas). Nick made sure to pay attention to what Izzy needed; sometimes she's playful first, or wants attention first, or wants to eat. She got a new puzzle toy recently, and Nick worked with her to figure it out.

Let me know if there are any tendencies or things I should be aware of ahead of time with your pet! As well as things they enjoy of course☺️ Both of my dogs were rescued and incredibly anxious. I was able to get them both to come around and enjoy the pets :) They are totally free spirit now, it’s been an amazing experience. I will be very conscious of their energy and make sure they are as comfortable as possible! I would love to know what toys they enjoy, as well as if they are allowed a couple of treats!
