Pet care experience

Full-time care for dogs & cats

Hi! My name is Nicolas. Since I am home full-time, I am able to dedicate my entire day to the care and well-being of the dogs and cats I look after in our large, two-story house in South Burlington, which features a big, secure yard where they can safely run and play. I have the experience to care for any type of animal, including puppies that require extra attention, patience, and routine. For your peace of mind, I provide very regular updates and frequently send photos of your companion throughout their stay. Please note that since I have a 20-month-old son, any dog staying with us must be perfectly comfortable and safe around young children.

Doggy Day Care • juin 19, 2026

Wonderful experience! We had never used Rover before and had to arrange care for Sadie at the last minute - Nicolas & family were quick to respond, took great care of our dog, and were so flexible around timing! Highly recommend!

Drop-In Visits • juin 18, 2026

Communicative, did well with my shy cat, and went above and beyond when he seemed to have run out of food. Absolutely recommend for drop in visits.

Boarding • juin 09, 2026

Nicholas was a great caretaker for our 9 year old dog. He has a great backyard which our dog loved and a warm family environment. Nicholas was very flexible with us as our plans changed and he is extremely easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we are going to rebook.

Nicolas truly loves animals, and it shows in the way he cares for them. He is home most of the time, which is wonderful because the pets never feel lonely. He is responsible, deeply caring, and always sends great updates. A fantastic sitter for your furry companions!

Nicolas is incredibly patient and highly structured when it comes to pet care. He takes the time to get to know each animal and strictly follows all instructions (feeding schedules, routines, cleanliness). Whether dealing with an energetic pet or a shy cat, he knows exactly how to adapt with gentle care. I highly recommend him!

Schedule

As a stay-at-home dad, I am at the house full-time, making it incredibly easy to fit dedicated pet care into my daily routine. I offer specialized services tailored to your pets' needs, including both cat and dog boarding at my home, where your furry friends will enjoy constant company and plenty of attention throughout the day. I also offer dog walking and 30 to 60-minute home visits at your location. Whether it's strictly following feeding and medication schedules, managing frequent potty breaks, or taking your dog out for a great walk to break up their day, you can rest assured your companions will receive premium care while staying completely on their regular routine.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home: Your pets will have plenty of room to comfortable and safe in our large two-story house. Since I am home full-time, I provide constant supervision and companionship throughout the day. I ensure a safe, organized environment for both visiting dogs and cats, strictly following their regular feeding, potty, litter, and medication schedules so they feel right at home. At your home: I follow your exact instructions to respect your pet's routine, whether I am dropping by for a 30 to 60-minute visit or taking your dog out for a walk. I make sure your home stays secure, doors are locked, and your pet gets their regular feeding, fresh water, and potty breaks exactly as they do when you are there.
