I love dogs of all shapes and sizes

Pet care experience

I'm a friendly, quiet tech student that loves to take of animals! I am going to school at 42 but I'm I am originally a dog walker from Massachusetts. Back in Massachusetts, I have taken care of a dog that was aggressive with other dogs. I utilized a gentle leader, treats, and distractions to prevent any mishaps so am familiar with techniques to encourage good behavior and prevent bad ones. I also took care of my brother's puggle, who loves me to death until i leave and she finds someone else to pet her. I have experience watching other dogs for extended periods of time, both at the owners house and at my own home. I'm very gentle with animals (I had four pet rats and a cat at my house, and I make sure they don't get into contact, and yet they all love me), but know when to be firm or create distractions. I also love to give dogs the exercise that they need! Back at home I regularly play fetch with a German Shepherd. I love all dogs and would love to take care of yours for you!

Niko has been walking my dog for about 2-3 months. He’s dependable, friendly, and always takes great care of my dog. I would recommend him for any of your pet needs.

Nico is always great with our Sheriff! He can be a very nervous dog, and Nico has the skills that he is safe and happy!

Chewie loved her stay with Niko, as I could assume from his daily updates with comments and pictures. Thank you Niko! See you again soon.

Niko was an awesome sitter for my dog, Piper. He was very responsive to my questions and requests and happily met with me and Piper before the stay. He even left a cute little note for me when I returned home about when she ate and went to the bathroom. Top notch sitter!
