Flexible Home Environment & Unlimited Yard Access: Because I work from home full-time, your dog will receive constant attention and care. My schedule is highly flexible, allowing pets to access the backyard whenever they like. Whether your dog prefers to go on walks, play hard, or just chill out solo or with a group, I accommodate their natural rhythm. Dogs are welcome to sleep and play wherever they feel most comfortable. I offer a relaxed, highly adaptable environment while maintaining the highest standards of safety and care.

Information Nickolai W. would like to know about your pet
What I Need to Know Before We Begin: Open communication ensures your dog has the best possible experience. Please share any specific traits, triggers, or routines unique to your pet so I can accommodate them perfectly.To ensure a harmonious environment, we will schedule a Meet-and-Greet to introduce your dog to Ryder. If needed, I can easily separate them initially and introduce them slowly. We can discuss your dog's specific care plan in detail ahead of time—my priority is making sure every animal in my home feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
A typical day
A Typical Day with Me: While I customize the schedule based on your dog's specific needs and your requests, a typical day includes: Morning: A refreshing neighborhood walk or backyard (solo/grouped) followed by breakfast (separated or grouped) and a chance to stretch their legs in the yard.Throughout the Day: Unlimited access to our large fenced backyard. Pups can sunbathe, play fetch, wrestle with Ryder, or splash around in the dog pool.Afternoon/Rest Time: Since I work from home, I balance active outdoor play with cozy indoor naptimes. Dogs can choose to chill solo, hang out by my desk, or rest in a dedicated quiet room.Evening: Another walk (if requested), dinner, and plenty of evening cuddles and wind-down time.

Reviews
Nicolai was great! He watched my goldendoodle for 5 days and I received updates and pictures daily. Fozzi seems to have really enjoyed herself! He was easy to communicate with and had flexible schedule.
Nikolai was so responsive and flexible when it came to drop off time. He answered quickly and sent me a photo update of her playing with another dog within an hour of dropping her off. I would definitely book with Nikolai next time I am in the area. Thanks for helping take take care of my fur baby!
Nickolai was extremely responsive, professional, and considerate. My dog loved the large backyard and resident dog, and was well-cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nickolai again
Nickolai and his family were perfect for our 2 dogs who are used to family life. He took great care of their needs and invited them in to being part of a temporary family with them.
