I have recently graduated from high school, so right now my schedule is pretty much completely open. However, I use my bicycle as transportation so I am a little limited on where I can go and the time frame of when I need to be there. I also have some new opportunities coming in October of 2026 and won’t be able to take on any new jobs after that.

About Nicky N.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that pets are not simple creatures that can just be chained up in the yard or put in a cage all day. Just like any person, they need time to socialize and to spread their wings, even if they don't have any, and I like playing with them or letting them outside, of course, with supervision. With the amount of pets I have in my own home, I've come to understand body language fairly easily and can tell if an animal is stressed, anxious, or scared.
Information Nicky N. would like to know about your pet
Please, if one of your pets has any special needs or behaviors that may affect how I care for them, let me know right away. I am willing to be flexible and I do have a fair bit of experience with medicating cats, which can probably expand into other different kinds of animals.
A typical day
I do my best to keep pets stimulated while I’m with them, so I usually try to play with them when I have the chance, usually with any toys that I may have at my disposal or with some very light roughhousing. Otherwise, I always make sure that they receive at least a little bit of attention while I’m around them to make sure they are happy and healthy.

Pet care experience
My entire life I've been surrounded by pets, from turtles, to lizards, to fish, to dogs of many sizes, and numerous cats. I've become very comfortable with having a mini ecosystem in the house, and the all manner of nasties that come with such a description. I am comfortable with walking dogs of any size, entertaining cats for extended periods of time, and unique feeding habits for other animals besides those two classics. I have become very acquainted with having to administer medicine to pets and cleaning up their messes. Although I have no formal experience, I am a fast learner and am positive that I can care for any pet short of a dragon.

Reviews
Nick is AMAZING!!!! I needed a pet sitter last minute during 4th of July week/weekend and Nick responded right away, met him next day and he took care of my puppies with such care. Pictures everyday and even offered to bring more food since I was running low. Such a kind person and will definitely book again!! Thank you so much Nick!
Nicky’s Amazing! 💯I couldn't be happier with the care my two dogs received! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. You can truly tell he loves animals and treats them like family, not just pets. He kept me updated, paid attention to their routines and personalities, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend using Nicky’s services. It’s hard finding someone you can fully trust with your pets, and he exceeded every expectation. I will definitely be booking with him again. Thank you Nicky!
I’ve had the chance to see Nicky regularly care for and medicate four cats, giving both oral liquid and pill medication to cats ranging from very docile to quite spicy and bitey. He does it extremely well, calmly, and without unnecessary stress for the animals. He is patient, caring, and genuinely compassionate, and it’s obvious he takes their well-being seriously. Nicky is also meticulous, dependable, very smart, and highly trustworthy. I would feel completely confident recommending him to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter.
