Avid pup-lover looking to help out!

Pet care experience

I've always been willing to take care of friends dogs, cats, even a bird once or twice. I love all animals and love getting to know their personalities. Especially love when you gain the trust and just get to be best friends with them. I've had a dog my entire life. Was born with Jewel, a German Shepard Collie. Then got Bradie, a Brittany Spaniel Mix. Even had a cat, Gigi, for a bit. All have since passed on and my family has gotten a new dog -- but I don't consider her my own. I've pet-sat for various friends and family members over the years - at their place and mine. All of my friends and friends have dogs. You'd think they were mine with the number of pictures I have on my phone. I just really love pups. My girlfriend and I are considering getting a dog but figured this would be a good "Step 1" into that! I work full time at LR but my summer is a bit more open for me to be able to do whatever you need me to do. Weekend care, walks, or anything more, I'm happy to do it! No issues crating dogs or providing any other disciplinary measures you may ask. I understand that every animal is different and want whatever is best for your best friend!

I have known Nick for a long time. Nick is a smart, kind, honest, and responsible man. He’s great with animals. He has watched my two pups several times and my dogs love him. I trust him implicitly. 10/10 would recommend to anyone needing someone to watch and love their pet for a few days.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m always careful to pay attention to each owner’s specific rules. Everyone’s pup has a different way of being cared for. I’m always careful to leash and gain the trust before playing.

Information Nick R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any allergies, medical issues, or any other pressing issues that your pets may have. If they prefer one kind of person over the other, etc. Also, let me know their favorite things - walks, treats, belly rubs, squeaky toys, etc!

A typical day

Gotta get the energy out! I recently moved to Hickory so I'm still exploring the area. I'm a nature guy at heart so I'm always looking for trails to take dogs out on. Also, love a good game of tug-of-war. It helps their teeth and, sometimes, gives me a good arm workout.
