Active & caring pet watcher!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of both dogs & cats for the better half of a decade, and I am the go-to person for my friends and family to watch their pets. I am also a social worker - care and compassion for humans and animals is my literal career!

Nico was an excellent caregiver for my senior dog. He was kind, punctual, responsible and took great care of Luna. I would definitely recommend him!

Nico takes wonderful care to walk my Bentley while I work. Thank you so much for your consistency and kindness to my pup.

Nico took care of my pup, Maple, for 5 days and four nights. He treated maple like she was his own and took her on daily long walks through portsmouth, to the beach, and to the dog park! Nico is currently fun-ployed to he was able to hang out with maple all day long so she was never lonely! I received pictures of maple while I was on vacation which was the cherry on top! I would highly recommend you hiring Nico for all of your pet care needs as he is detail oriented, has a flexible schedule, and is a dog lover!

Nico has been a great friend to my dog, Leo for years now. Nico has known Leo since he was a puppy; he was instrumental for Leo’s socialization and for basic training requirements like house training. I have entrusted Leo’s care to Nico on countless occasions and he always did a great job keeping Leo active, healthy and happy. As a pet care professional myself, I know the level of patience and compassion required to properly care for someone else’s furry family member. Nico’s prior professional and academic experience as a wilderness therapy counselor and recent completion of a masters degree in social work affords him extreme levels of patience and compassion. These traits, coupled with his experience caring for my own dog, give me a high level of confidence in his abilities as a pet care professional.

I live in a big apartment with a nice yard, and am 2 blocks from a dog park. I am very active and will constantly want to take your pet outside, and can also lay low if that's what they need! I am responsible with feeding, washing, and crating (if needed), and I will give your pet all my attention!

I just graduated from graduate school, so for now I am unemployed while looking for jobs. So, I have a ton of time to watch your pets. I occasionally have weekend trips, but am around a lot during the weeks!
