Loving, experienced pet caretaker

Pet care experience

I have loved and cared for animals all of my life, starting with my first dog Sammy and cat Logan to my current pup Shiro, a well-mannered, highly socialized and friendly Shiba Inu, and have been taking care of dogs and cats professionally for 6 years now, to go along with my job as a massage therapist.There is no greater joy in my life than making animals happy, and my goal is to provide a fun and caring environment that both socializes and stimulates your pup or kitty, as well as give him or her all the love and care your special one gets at home. Playtime is all day, everyday! I look forward to meeting your little/big furry friend and welcoming him or her into my pet loving home. Your pup or kitty will thank you with a million tail waggles for it. Woof!

Nicolas was so kind and generous taking care of my cat while I was away for Christmas. He gave so much of his time and at a very affordable rate. He came over to meet me and my cat the day before I left, and he was happy to meet my cat and he showed him a lot of love and attention while I was gone; by sharing daily updates including photos. I would recommend Nicolas to any pet owner who requires a sitter when they are away. I'm certain I'll choose him again when travel takes me away from home.

Nicolas is such a kind loving pet sitter. As a pretty anxious mommy he really did every to show me that my baby Penny was happy and well cared for. His doggo Shiro is such a good buddy for a puppy to play with and they became fast friends. I can't express how greatful I am to have Penny so well taken care of!

Nicolas has taken are of my pups on several occasions , and every time he has done so I noticed that they don't want to come back home! The love and attention he gives animals is unparalleled and I will continue to count on him to take care of babies for as long as he's available. I wouldn't recommend anyone else for this job, because quite frankly, he doesn't see it as a job at all, but instead as an outlet for his uncanny understanding of dogs and his affection for animals in general. I couldn't recommend him enough.

Nicolas is a true animal lover. He loves animals and treats his pets as if they were his children. He is a kind and compassionate human being and loves people and animals.
