As a working professional, I’m fortunate to have a good amount of free time both before and after work. That makes it easy for me to build pet care into my daily routine. Whether it's morning walks, evening playtime, or just making sure meals and routines stay consistent, I have the flexibility to give a pet the time, attention, and care they need every day.

Safety, trust & environment

I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their individual needs—whether that means sticking to their usual routine, giving them extra playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable. My goal is always to make sure they’re happy, well-cared-for, and having the best time while they’re with me.

Information Nick P. would like to know about your pet

He’s got a lot of energy and loves to stay active! He’s generally friendly with both people and other dogs, though he can be a little apprehensive around new people at first. With a little time and patience, he usually warms up just fine. He’s also a bit cautious around bigger dogs, so I try to give him space to feel safe and comfortable in those situations.

A typical day

I live close to a big open park, which is perfect for long walks, runs, and games of fetch. Whether it’s exploring new trails, getting some good exercise, or just enjoying fresh air and playtime, I make sure the pets I watch stay active, happy, and engaged.

Dog and walk lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of my dog for the past 5 years, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I love spending time outdoors, especially walking the Emerald Necklace—Jamaica Pond, the Arboretum, and Franklin Park are regular spots for us. I’ve come to realize (like many owners) that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re part of the family—and I treat them that way. I’m familiar with leash handling, routines, and how important patience and consistency are, whether on a walk or just hanging around the house. I’m happy to follow your dog’s specific needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or just good company, I’d be thrilled to care for your pup!

Nick was great with our cat Delilah! He was very professional and came and met her ahead of time. She was very comfortable with him as we saw through many cute photos! We would definitely book with Nick again.

Nick was kind, courteous, timely, professional, and a great communicator. Our dogs were super well cared for and Nick made sure they got some extra long walks and extra love while we were away. Could not be happier
