Pet care experience
I’m currently in school to become a dog trainer and I can talk for days about dogs. I have a Belgian Malinois and a Yakutian Laika. I also had a small dog when I was growing up. I love pretty much every dog breed.
Reviews
Nikita is a GREAT sitter. Really helped me out when I needed someone to watch my puppy last minute. Also helped in training!
Responsible, very caring to our dog, communicates well. We will enjoy using Nikita again.
Nikita has been walking my highly strung Yakutian Laika for about a year, and I've noticed a marked change in the dog's leash behavior for the better. As a working/sled dog, my dog naturally pulled very hard when harnessed at the top of the shoulders. NIkita showed me techniques and harness methods, like an alternative double leashing hook-up to overcome my pup's natural inclination to pull. I'm very appreciative of his commitment to my dog, and his sage advice in adjusting behaviors.
Nikita has always done a fantastic job with my dogs. He genuinely loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about training and handling dogs of all varieties.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard on an acre of property (though I don’t offer boarding services). My dogs receive daily exercise and mental stimulation because they are both high energy breeds. I also train them using force free clicker based training
Information Nikita Z. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I tend to walk my dogs after breakfast (usually one at a time). I like to walk them in the park but there are also paths by my house. Then after lunch usually comes a play session and then around dinner time we go to the dog park.
Services
Nikita can watch in your home
Availability
For now, my schedule is very open. I do however need some time to care for my own dogs, just a quick visit to the house to give them a meal and maybe a play session.
