Pet care experience

From Woofs to Words - Dog Lover

I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and is something I just love. Whenever I go to see a friend who owns a dog, I spend more time with the dog often times! I don’t have any of my own at the moment since my partner has allergies, but being there to dog sit will allow me to spread that love and care with them. I have watched many of my friends dogs overnight or just for the day due to my hybrid schedule - which is wonderful!

Safety, trust & environment

I always want to ask, what are the do’s and dont’s since every dog is different. I want to make sure they are able to relax and enjoy the company as much as I would. If I’m able to stay at the sitters home, I will routinely send updates or photos (as desired) and give them peace of mind to know that they’re little ones are safe with me. I absolutely adore dogs and I want to make them as loved as they deserve. If I take them for walks, recap anything that they did to report back to the owner as well.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Lili absolutely adored him. Every time he was around, she wanted to play with him and barely paid any attention to us, which says everything about how comfortable and happy she felt in his care. He was incredibly responsive and kept us updated throughout our time away with messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. It was very obvious that he genuinely loves dogs and knows how to connect with them. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to watch their dog!

Rocky is an older dog. He needs drops in his eyes and company. Nicky provided company, gave the drops and ensured that Rocky was walked and fed. Thank you a Nicky for your help. Rocky trusts you.

Nicky was the most professional person. Arriving a few minutes early to ensure he got everything he needed done prior to arriving (securing parking, front desk reception etc.). Asked thoughtful questions about the care of our dog. Checked in throughout the day, and ensured our dog was walked throughout the day. Our dog LOVED him And even gave him her paw (which she only does when she is comfortable). You could tell he truly cares about dogs/animals. Anytime Nicky is free we’d love for him to sit our dog Bagheera any day. Could not ask for a better sitter.

Dog Walking • Dec 06, 2025

Nicky is an excellent walker. Super friendly, dog whisperer. My pup melted at first sight. He is great at communication, thorough questioning to understand your pets needs and habits. I will def use him again

I request Nicky to take care of my dog. My dog Rocky is known not to eat when he is not with his known family. Rocky ate without a challenge and was able to do his daily routine walks as requested. Thank you Nicky for taking great care of Rocky when I needed help.

Nicky is truly passionate and loving of all different kinds of dogs. Anyone would be so lucky to have him watch your furry babies! He’s so attentive and caring and it really reflects his natural sense of care.

Schedule

I work a hybrid role - so I might be able to offer walks during the day on some days of the week. But weekends work best for me to stay over and dog sit (for those traveling or don’t want their dog in someone else’s home). This will help build trust and love with the little ones, while keeping them in the comfort of their own home.
