Safety, trust & environment

I am very comfortable taking dogs for walks. I also don’t mind spending time with them 1 on 1 inside and/or crating them.

Information Nicolas L. would like to know about your pet

I am always curious if the dogs I watch have separation anxiety when their owner(s) are away from them. I also always check if there are any meds or supplements they take as well.

A typical day

I love to have a productive day with dogs! I enjoy playing lots of games & exercising with them, exploring different routes with them on walks, & making sure they are loved & taken care of.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog veteran lover since I was 4 years old. My mom has bred Golden Retrievers for 15 years and I’ve always been there to walk them, feed them, watch them, train them, love them, & help them in any way possible.

Nick was a pleasure to work with. Strong communicator and comfortable with our 4-month old golden retriever. Would highly recommend!

Nicolas was fantastic. He arrived early, stayed later than expected without hesitation, and was incredibly friendly, professional, and accommodating throughout the day. He did an excellent job with our two large dogs, including our Cane Corso, and was confident, patient, and clearly comfortable handling big breeds. He kept us updated with messages and photos, followed every instruction perfectly, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs and a great overall experience. We would not hesitate to book Nicolas again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and communicative sitter.

We don’t know where to begin! Nickolas was a godsend. I highly recommend him for any service needed for your pet. From the time we read his bio, to the day we came home, we had complete confidence in Nickolas. He has a way about him, and a vibe which put us at ease during our first meeting time. Cocoa Bean was being bratty and barked and barked at him. But he was totally cool, listened to everything I was telling him and got her to calm down and she was fine! Nickolas has excellent written communication skills. I’m a retired teacher of 32 years and don’t give that praise lightly! It’s a skill often missing while texting with young people! He sent us pictures, videos, and several texts every day about how things were going, and what he and Cocoa were doing! She looked happy and healthy and even though we missed her, we were barely uneasy at all during our 10 day vacation! Only the first day, but once we received those communications, our hearts were at peace. We don’t want to use anyone else for dog sitting in our home! ❤️
