Consider me a care package of love.

Pet care experience

My name is Nigel and I own and operate Dogzilla and Cat Cong LLC. I am fully insured, bonded, and certified in Pet CPR and First Aid. I'm committed to keeping the animals in my care safe while having a great time. I strive to make your pets' days more fulfilling and make that glorious moment when you return home feel like it came that much sooner. I am in an endless pursuit to further my knowledge and professional development by keeping up with industry literature and educational opportunities. I grew up in the Catskills, but I've called New York City home for the last several years. I currently live in Ridgewood with close friends, our black lab named Mowgli, and my dear cat, Pumpernickel. I have always been a pet owner and an animal lover, but I never dreamt that I could turn that passion into a career. While managing an independent pet food and supply store in Williamsburg I discovered the breadth of the pet industry. On a daily basis I had the opportunity to play with dogs and be a resource for pet owners regarding everything from nutrition to scratching posts. I saw how a local business could become a valued part of a community, and I sought a way to be of even greater service to pets and their owners. I wanted to get out from behind a register and provide hands on care for cats and dogs. I have spent nearly three years dreaming up a small business to allow me to do that. I look forward to a being a friend and a resource.

Finding Nigel was an early Christmas present and a dream come true! We couldn't have asked for a more diligent, professional and caring minder for our cat Alfie. She is a street rescue and hides from strangers yet "met" Nigel the first time he stopped by. We got regular updates and photos and never worried about our kitty. Highly recommend this magical sitter to anyone!

Nigel is an amazing dog caregiver! The first time he met my dog, it was like love at first sight! Moose instantly ran up and started wagging his whole body (wagging just the tail wasn't enough to contain his excitement) as soon as Nigel walked into the room. Nigel is one of the very few people I would ever trust to take care of my fur-babies. When it comes to my dogs, only the best will do. And Nigel is DEFINITELY the best. Hands down.

Nigel’s love of all animals is quite evident. He has a unique ability to connect with animals; and in providing a nurturing love, the animals connect with him. He has cared for my dogs - dog sitting, walking them and playing with them to help them discharge their built up energy. I would highly recommend Nigel as a devoted and knowledgeable dog walker and caregiver. And his commitment and punctuality is a wonderful bonus.
