Your Pet Deserves the Best – Loving Walks & Care

I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and have always enjoyed caring for them with responsibility and affection. Over 6 years ago, I began helping friends and neighbors by taking care of their pets too — and I absolutely love it. Every animal is unique, and I love building a connection with each one.

We needed a last-minute dog sitter, and I’m very grateful we found Nicolas. He took great care of my dog and sent daily updates, which gave me peace of mind. It was clear my dog was having a wonderful time. 5/5 – Nicolas is very kind and caring. I would highly recommend him.

This is the second time that Kai spend time at Nico. It says everything about the care that he received at Nico because Kai was delighted to see him and went off with Nico without a backward glance at me😂. We highly recommend Nico.

Our small dog - a Papillon - had a wonderful time with Nico. Nico quickly picked up on the fact that Papillons LOVE to play. Nico sent us regular updates with photos/videos. Our dog came back happy and not traumatized in any way. We feel very confident in recommending Nico for your Furbaby, and we intend to use Nico for future pet sitting.

Nicolás cuidó de mi perra y quedé muy satisfecha. Nicolás me envió fotos y vídeos de mi perra durante el tiempo que la cuidó y la sacaba a pasear con frecuencia. Muy recomendable.

Nicolas was great. So caring and my dog was very happy when I took him. Sent us loads of pictures and videos. Took our dog to wash and cut his nails. Did a lot of walks as he works from home. I fully recommend Nicolas.

We booked last minute and had such a great experience! He took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos. We felt completely at ease.

Schedule

I work remotely from my phone and laptop, which gives me the freedom to spend plenty of quality time with your pet — whether it’s at my home, yours, or out on long walks. I fully adapt to their individual routines and needs to make them feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

Of course, every pet is unique and has their own routine, so I always ask the owner to share their pet’s daily habits so I can follow them as closely as possible. In my case, I live with my dog Loky and my bunny Baby. Every morning, I prepare breakfast for both of them. I open the terrace so Baby can run around and enjoy some fresh air, while I take Loky for a 30–40 minute walk. At lunchtime, I feed them again. While Baby eats and relaxes on the terrace, I take Loky out for another walk. Between lunch and dinner, we usually go out for another walk or spend some time playing. In the evening, after dinner and one last potty walk for Loky, I give them each a little treat before bedtime. It’s a routine full of love and care — and I’ll make sure your pet feels just as safe and happy in my company.

Pets

A typical day

I love making sure pets get plenty of physical activity. If the owner gives me permission to let them off the leash, I really enjoy going to a park where they can run freely, chase balls or sticks, and burn off some energy while having lots of fun.

Please let me know in advance how your pet behaves around other animals and people. This helps me decide whether they can be walked alongside other dogs or if they should be walked alone. Also, feel free to share any important information I should know about your pet — the more I understand their needs, the better I can care for them.
