Highlights
Pet care experience
Energetic and patient
Hi there! I’m Nick, and I am a lifelong animal lover. I believe every pet animal deserves a safe, fun, and engaging experience. Whether it’s a long walk in the neighborhood, a hike on the trails, or just some quality backyard playtime, I’m dedicated to keeping your pet happy and tired! I am reliable, punctual, and—most importantly—patient. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away, so I prioritize clear communication and frequent updates. I look forward to giving your pet the attention and exercise they need while you’re busy. I just moved to Victoria BC and have lots of free time, a flexible work schedule, and a bike to get around.

Was able to help out last minute and kept us up to date on how things were going. Would call him again!
Great visit. Nicolas communicated with us the whole time and gave us up great updates. Thank you Nicolas!
Incredible job! Thanks
Nick is awesome! My terrier is exhausted and happy!
He took care of my dog for three days and did an amazing job. He made sure she got plenty of walks and kept her happy and comfortable the entire time. I felt really at ease knowing she was in such good hands, highly recommend!
Nick is such a great caregiver! Over the years he has cared for all of our pets: from chickens to hermit crabs, fish, cats, and dogs, and he's done an amazing job. He loves them like his own and is great about giving both activity and affection.

Schedule
I live alone and work from home as an instructor and researcher at a few universities. I wake up very early and love being outside as much as possible. I am keen to explore my surroundings, including parks! I have access to a vehicle too with advanced notice.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a small apartment in downtown Victoria with access to a rooftop pet care area and cleaning facilities. I am very mobile within a limited range that is accessible by bicycle. I have access to a vehicle if necessary with advanced notice.
A typical day
I would prefer to go outside with your dog (and cat, I suppose) and take them to a park with a dog (or cat?!?!) area. I would take them off leash in those areas and throw a ball or frisbee around and shout and yell...encouragingly, of course. If we had to be inside, I would encourage them to sleep and be quiet, to be honest. I am patient and can play immediately and spontaneously, though. I can even throw a ball around in my small apartment.
