Experienced, high energy pet lover!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a house with 2 cats, a dog, and a rotating roster of rodents! I’ve consistently pet-sat since age 10, helping multiple clients simultaneously around my neighborhood during holiday breaks. In 7th grade, I took on a daily dog-walking client which ended up being such a wonderful experience that lasted until my 12th grade graduation. My repeat clients lasted many years, and I’ve been happy to help with extended visits required lots of detailed attention, as well as brief drop-ins. I’ve seen everything from ducks to geckos and everything in between, and honestly love just truly love animals (except alligators, I know, such a huge market).

Nicky was an absolute legend! Took excellent care of Frankie, games and cuddles and feedings and cleanup of the litter box. Highly recommend Nicky!

I thought Nikki was great. My dog loved him and he had no problems with her. She is very strong and can be stubborn but she did well with Nikki. Nikki communicated with me and was very cooperative and dependable.

Nicky was great. Caring, polite, and responsible. Our doggos loved him and he took great care of our home while we were away.

Nicky has been a kind, caring, and conscientious dogwalker and sitter for our bull terrier mix, Oscar, for several years. He truly loves animals and they love him. He has been very responsible and communicates well with us and is so patient and sweet with Oscar. Nicky is the best!

Information Nicky D. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know whatever subtle quirks your furry friend might have to better help me help them feel as comfortable around me as possible! Happy to make whatever accommodations necessary!

A typical day

I am a big hiker, so if your dog is high energy I love to walk for hours until I’VE tired THEM out, rather than the other way around. I’m prepared for any variety of physically demanding activities, or could alternatively be ready to sit for an hour just petting and loving.
