I love to keep dogs active!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Niko. I am incredibly fond of all dogs small and large. I completely agree that we don't deserve the sweet spirit of dogs which is why they deserve our patience and love. I raised and solely trained my Staffordshire Terrier, Max to be a well behaved fit companion. I believe that dogs need to have their body and mind stimulated with activities and training mixed with tons of affection. Along with my great animal skills I am reliable and carry a strong work ethic. I am understanding and will cater to specific needs that your dog may need treating them exactly with the same amount of affection you do. Along with playful exercising I will help keep the caring obligations of your canine balanced and simple.

Niko is a wonderful reliable dog walker. We, Dexter (my dog) and I, could not be happier. Niko is a dog lover; Dexter took immediately to his affection and offered companionship. Niko also keeps Dexter exercising for which I am grateful everyday. Niko has greatly improved Dexter’s quality of life. As a dog owner, I could not ask for a better dog walker.

Niko is pure awesomeness! He goes above and beyond my expectations. Not only does Niko keep my active pitbull happy with daily walks/play sessions, but he has taken it upon himself (with my consent, of course) to provide her with additional training. Niko is teaching Cuddy to be more aware of crossing traffic and come on command more consistently. In addition to the required pics and other Rover updates, sometimes Niko sends me videos of the work they do together. He also provides me with additional info on her behavior, particularly if he's concerned (i.e, energy level, how thirsty she was, etc..). It's clear that Cuddy looks forward to seeing him each day, and I feel comfortable leaving her in his care. As a nervous mom wary of leaving my baby in the care of a stranger, I feel like I struck gold with Niko. I STRONGLY recommend Niko to care for your fur baby.

Niko is so good with my dog. His best dog care qualities would have to be that he’s very loving and he always has behavioral issues in mind. He takes his time to make sure that Blitz is being a good boy who is loved. My dog freaks out when he sees Niko. They are buds. There isn’t a single doubt in my mind that Niko and Blitz love each other. His love of all dogs is evident. Any time he interacts with a dog, he turns to mush. It makes me sad to know that Niko can’t have a dog in his apartment due to rules set by his landlord. You should share your dog with him. My family certainly loves the work that he does for us. He’s the best.
