Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Niko and I have about 16 years of experience caring for dogs. I grew up in New York with multiple dogs, so I know how demanding of a job it can be. I’m incredibly familiar with downtown Manhattan and all of the dog parks in the area; along with the piers by the river as those were my old dog’s favorite locations to frequent. I’ve walked all kinds of dogs from small yorkies to large dogs like Rottweilers and German Shepards. I’m still finishing up school in the city so my schedule does fluctuate every couple months just as a warning. I’d love to meet you and your beloved dog so feel free to reach out anytime!!
Reviews
Niko was great. Would highly recommend !
Niko was great with our big and energetic puppy!
Niko is responsive, reliable, and so sweet with my pup! I have had him walk my dog several times and he is always great. One time I even forgot to confirm the booking on the app, but he still showed up and did the job based on our communication. Can not recommend highly enough!
Niko consistently walks my senior dog and is so patient with her!

Safety, trust & environment
I take care of them as if they were my own dog. I’ll take them for walks, talk to them, take them wherever I can if possible. If I’m going somewhere with friends thats dog friendly and approved by the owner I’ll bring them along to explore the city.

Information Niko F. would like to know about your pet
I think the most helpful thing would be to just let me know about their personality a bit ahead of time. Are they friendly with other dogs? Scared of dogs larger than them? Do they have any specific needs or health concerns? Things of that nature or their favorite places to play/go on walks!!
A typical day
I love walking around the city and visiting all the different dog parks that are available. Some of my favorites are Stuyvesant park which is downtown or Madison square dog park in midtown. When the weather is warmer the dog parks by the Hudson River are the best though.

Availability
As I’m in college I have a set schedule but majority of the week I’m very free. I I have hour openings on my busier days as well so almost any day will work it just depends a little on the time.
