Safety, trust & environment

In a client’s home, I will leave areas and surfaces better than I find them. I am perfectly capable of cleaning up any accidents or messes. I am also observant enough to prevent a pet from potentially getting into something. I enjoy playing with and engaging with pets also helps them release energy, so they are ready to relax and feel calmer as the day goes by.

Nico was incredible! So communicative and took amazing care of our pup, Juni. We received photos and updates at least once a day, which we really appreciated. This was the longest we’ve ever left Juni, and Nico truly put us at ease knowing she was happy and getting such great care. Our home was also very well taken care of while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and a well-cared-for house. We would absolutely recommend Nico and would happily have Nico watch Juni again!

Nico always does a great job taking care of our cat and house. Our cat clearly likes Nico a lot, based on the photos and videos Nico sends us. We know that our cat is in good hands with Nico.

We have used Nico to care for our elderly dog Goose for a few months now when we are away. He is communicative and takes great care of Goose. I highly recommend Nico.

Our cat seems to like Nico a lot, which matters a lot to us. We've hired Nico several times now, and are always happy with Nico's great communication and care for our cat and house.
