Pet care experience
I currently reside in Springs, NY and have had several years of experience taking care of dogs (and other animals) on the East End. I started my career as a manager at Petco, where I gained substantial experience in dog care. For instance, I handled dog boarding during my time there, including feeding, walking, and assisting in adoption--anywhere from small puppies to larger and older dogs. Now I work in agriculture and have experience working with a wide variety of animals--from dogs and cats to chickens (and even have my own backyard chickens), goats, and cows. I love working with all types of animals and am happy to look after other animals you may have. My work hours are currently very flexible and I am happy to work with your schedule.
Reviews
Nick was very careing and loving with my dog, Lily. The minute he walked in she lick attacked him and cried when he left. She is a picky eater and had some physical issues, both of which he handled exceptionally. He was very responsible and left my home immaculate. He is a very polite and nice. He would be a tremendous asset to your business and be a great caretaker of someones pet.
Nick has taken care of both of my dogs over the years. I have a 7 year old and 10 year old golden retrievers. They are both very active and high energy, but that seems to be no match for Nick. His energy doesn't stop and he gives the dogs a great workout when he comes by! Highly recommend his services.
I highly recommend Nick as a dog sitter. In cases where I have been unable to dog sit, Nick is always my first contact to suggest on the East End. He is incredibly reliable and has many years of experience with all animals. There have even been instances where I was dog sitting and called him for guidance. For instance, last year I was dog sitting for two dogs that would not get along. I called Nick for some guidance. He came right over and ran around with the dogs, allowing them to get some energy out and calm any tensions between them in the moment. I would recommend him for any dog sitting job.
About Nick Z.
Skills
Information Nick Z. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference. Any issue with biting, food preference (if feeding is going to take place), or other ticks the dog might have with a new sitter or caretaker.
A typical day
Ideally any local parks or beaches but that depends on the location. Ultimately I am happy to bring the dog to its usual walking spots where it feels most comfortable or where the owner suggests. For outside options, I am happy to bring along a favorite toy for fetch or a frisbee. I have no problem taking long walks or runs with dogs of any size.
