Pet care experience
Pet Lover
Thought I'd try this app out to make an extra buck. I am a lover of all pets, well maybe not spiders. I grew up in the remote country of Wisconsin, with a bunch of farm animals, as well as cats and dogs. Growing up with pets, and farm animals is crucial for knowing animals. I'm always taking my roommates dog for walks, and to the dog park. We have a big fenced in yard in the heart of Missoula. Meru (my roommates female dog) is really friendly and loves all other cats and dogs. I would focus my energy on your dogs and cats of course, but if Meru and your dogs cross paths they'll be best friends for the day. Hope to hear from you, and lend a helping hand with your best friends.

Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with Nick. Nick is very quick to respond and sent us daily updates. I will definitely rebook with Nick when we need a sitter for our Diva dog Jude.
Goes above and beyond for your loved pets.
Nickolas kept us updated throughout Penny’s stay and she seemed so happy to have a great yard to roam around! His dog Margie is also just the sweetest. I would absolutely recommend him if you are looking for a sitter in Missoula!
Our little dachshund had a great time at Nickolas’s. He was great at communication and we would definitely use him again.
Great experience - fantastic pet care for 1 night. Thank you Nickolas !
Cleo had a great time. She hit it off immediately with Nick's labrador Margie and was eager to go back the second day. Nicholas was very flexible and accommodating of my uncertain schedule and weird hours.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I make sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day — not just quick check-ins. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and companionship while keeping a calm, clean environment. I also make time for photo/video updates so owners always know how their pets are doing. I enjoy building routines around each pet’s individual needs and personality.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet like they’re my own and focus heavily on safety, comfort, cleanliness, and communication. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so they feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and space to relax. I always introduce pets carefully and prioritize safety at all times. In clients’ homes, I respect their routines and instructions closely to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I keep feeding schedules, walks, litter boxes, medications, and daily care consistent while also providing regular photo and video updates for peace of mind. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

A typical day
A typical day includes plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and relaxing time depending on each pet’s personality and energy level. For active dogs, I enjoy walks, outdoor time, playing fetch, and keeping them mentally engaged. For more relaxed pets, I make sure they have a calm environment, companionship, and lots of affection. For cats, I include interactive play, treats, brushing if they enjoy it, and quiet companionship so they feel comfortable and secure. I also stick closely to feeding schedules and routines to help pets feel at home while their owners are away. Throughout the day I provide regular updates, photos, and videos so owners can see their pets happy, safe, and having fun.

- Before caring for a pet, I like to know their normal routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs so I can make them as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Important information includes feeding schedules, medications, allergies, potty routines, favorite activities, behavior around other animals or people, and anything that helps them feel safe and happy. I also appreciate knowing about any anxieties, triggers, escape habits, or medical concerns ahead of time so I can provide the safest and best care possible. The more I know about a pet’s normal routine and preferences, the easier it is to give them a fun, comfortable experience while their owner is away.
