Dog's love me, Mailmen fear me

Pet care experience

Heyo!!! My name is Nico, I’m new to Texas and i’m really excited to make some new furry friends. I am an all around animal person and have experience with you and old dogs. I was lucky enough to grow up with two dogs who lived to be 16 and 14 years old. A doberman Pinscher and a Shepard Lab mix. We had both of them from about 1 yr old until their last day on earth. I can assure that your pet will be taken care of and walked to your satisfaction. I have an innate ability to bond with animals and can promise that your pet will receive more attention and back scratches than is required :D A majority of the work that I do is online, so I am very flexible, as well as I can be around mostly whenever I have to in order to take care of your pets.

Nico was fantastic and will be hiring him again when we need a walker. It was clear he cared for our dog and our dog LOVED him (even crying after Nico would leave). Thanks so much, Nico.

We were very nervous to use Rover for the first time & we are SOO happy to have found Nico! We would recommend him to anyone and will absolutely book him moving forward. He stayed with our 3 dogs and 2 cats in our home, sent us updates via photo and video, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our babies with him. You couldn't even tell someone someone other than us stayed at home with the animals- it was seamless!

Nico will treat your beloved baby like it is his own, making him or her feel comfortable, at home and well-taken care of. My pit/boxer mix has extreme anxiety and a general fear of people but Bodhi immediately gravitates towards him. Nico loves all different types of dogs, and is incredibly aware of each dog’s specific needs. He owned a doberman for 16 years and a lab/Shepard mix for 14 so he definitely understands how to care for larger dogs and is really patient with anxious shelter dogs, like his old lab/shepard mix and my guy, Bodhi. He takes caring for your animal likes its the most important job in the world, which in every pet owner’s eyes, it is the most important job. I appreciate leaving my baby with someone that takes this job so seriously.

I always ask lots of questions on the first meeting to really make sure I understand the routines of the dogs as well as the expectations of the parents. All dogs are different and understanding that is important to me.

Information Nico P. would like to know about your pet

Full transparency is always best! Just let me know what your dog is like and what his / her needs are. I connect really closely with animals, even aggressive ones, but I just need a heads up to get my energy in alignment to put a dog at ease.

A typical day

I love dog walking / runs, playing catch, snuggling as well as heading over to a local park / grassland to run around and kill some energy.
