Leaving your pup for two weeks can be both a relief and a stressor, but Nico made the entire experience completely drama-free. From the jump, his enthusiasm, humor, and genuine affection for dogs stood out. Throughout Beeps LaRue’s stay, Nico was exceptionally communicative, keeping us connected with photos, videos, and hilarious anecdotes. His fantastic outdoor space was an incredible bonus, giving Beeps plenty of fresh air, exercise, and socialization opportunities—including a building BBQ! It’s clear that genuine care is at the core of everything Nico does, from the warm welcome to the happy, relaxed, and very well-loved dog we picked up at the end. Nico is generous in spirit, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. We’ll definitely be booking with him again—Beeps told us as much!

It was another great stay as always, and Siri came back happy, calm, and glowing which we know to expect at this point. She loves staying here and it's clear that she is so genuinely loved and cared for and spoiled in the best ways. We are thankful for Nico and the fam, and can leave Siri with them with full trust and the feeling that she's in great hands.

Nico and Nana took great care of our (very!) senior girl Zoey. Since she is nearly 16 it is very difficult and anxiety-inducing for us to leave her. We were overseas for 12 days and it gave us peace of mind to receive at minimum one photo of her every day. Communication was speedy and reliable! Our home was also taken care of in our absence.

Nicolas is great with Taco. We always feel comfortable leaving our dog with him and Taco is always very happy during his stays. We get plenty of updates and will 100% use Nicolas again next time we need boarding for Taco

Nicolas took amazing care of Zuli and sent daily updates about her pup vacay! Nicolas also went the extra mile to tend to Zuli’s medication needs and keeping her cool during NYCs heatwave. Nicolas was the absolute best!! Thank you, looking forward to booking with him again!

Schedule

I have decided to make pet care my full time work. When I am not spending time with my doggie nephews and nieces I like to keep busy writing or playing video games. I am dabbling in baking and guitar play just like to be busy.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard in the building I reside at. So when I watch dog's they are free to go out in the backyard but I still stay close to monitor them and they are normally left alone. When at the owners residence or my own I like to engage the dog with toys and treat them as if they were my own pet.

A typical day

Like I said I treat the dog as if it's my own while I watch them. We will play with toys,fetch in the backyard. I also like too watch cartoons with dogs or movies with dogs. I feel they enjoy looking for the dog and barking back. One dog I watch loves The Flintstones.

Well I need to know the do's and dont's of said dog. If they are not comfortable around other dogs or people. Maybe they don't like high energy or maybe they like jazz music. Whatever makes the dog comfortable please let me know.
