Nikita showed his skills as a dog handler from literally the moment he walked in, greeting the shy dog so skillfully that she happily went right up to him to say hi. He was great with rambunctious Duncan and my very energetic young puppy Holly, managing to keep them playing safely together until they were tired enough to give me a few hours of peace before they recharge their energy. I'll definitely book Nikita again!

Nikita has been walking my dog, Andy, for several months, and I couldn’t be more grateful. He lives nearby and is always incredibly reliable, often accommodating my last-minute requests. I fully trust him to come into my home, greet Andy, and lock up securely. His communication is excellent, and he genuinely cares for my pup. I have a very small circle of people I trust with Andy, and I’m so thankful Gita is one of them. Highly recommend!

Nikita always does his best to fit us in when we need a last minute walk. He's kind and my dog loves him.

Nikita Z. did an excellent job with our dogs. Sent messages with every visit. We would definitely recommend for a pet sitter.

Let me know about any issues your dog may have. It doesn’t necessarily have to be health related. I’d like to know if they don’t like other dogs or if they lunge at cars or something.
