Pet care experience
Ready to spoil your best friend
I've been around dogs almost my whole life. I like the energy they bring to everything and I enjoy getting them outside. They bring a spark to your life that not many other things can match but they are a big responsibility. I'm happy to make life easier for the owner but also more fun for the dog. Whenever I'm with a dog I'm 100% engaged so you won't have to worry about me being distracted on my phone. I can do anything from a run and slow walk to frisbee in the park or even a dip in the lake. All breeds and ages are welcome. I know many of the subtle differences between breeds and can adjust accordingly. I'm willing to deal with any reasonable accommodations.

My 9 month old mini golden doodle seemed to really enjoy her 6 night stay with Nick. He sent lots of updates of her having a lot of fun! It was her first time seeing snow and he was sure to share her joy with us! Thank you for your great care of our puppy Nick!
Nick is an amazing sitter who took great care of my, in his words, “quirky” dog. I had to find a sitter without other dogs after an incident, but my dog Maple is highly particular and has some illogical triggers. I brought Nick my highly reactive dog with extremely specific instructions for his care, and Nick took them all in stride. He described my dog as “a dog who is a cat” because my dog does not routinely seek out affection, especially from new people. Miraculously, my dog warmed right up to Nick! I think he had the precise easy-going, unhurried nature that my dog needed to feel comfortable, safe, and free to go at his own pace. Nick was a great communicator - I got regular updates that my dog was having a blast and snuggling up to Nick at night. He was even eating routinely, which he doesn’t even do at home! Nick was a champ with all my dog’s medication and feeding instructions. (Aren’t I making my dog sound so fun?) I was super grateful for Nick’s flexibility, understanding, and unflappable nature. He is now one of maybe 4 people in the world that my dog truly likes. I highly recommend Nick for your dog care needs!!
Great communication. Knight enjoyed his stay!
We were happy Sam was well cared for. The picture updates showed her making herself right at home.
Nick was receptive to learn everything he could about our pup and was very kind and communicative. Would recommend!
Communication was great and loved getting daily pictures while I was away! My Golden seemed to love being there and was happy that he got walks in as well.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets like they are my family. They will be spoiled with treats and one on one cuddles. All dogs are allowed on the furniture, so I’m sure they’ll make themselves at home.
A typical day
I have a big fenced in backyard that your dog can gallop around. I also am close to a giant open dog park if that’s something you’re open to. Besides that, we will go on walks and play with toys. My dog loves to play.
