Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring and passionate professional
Hi, I’m Nik! With over 7 years in animal control, cruelty investigation, and dog training, I specialize in caring for dogs with challenging temperaments. I’m calm, patient, and experienced in handling anxious or reactive pups. With professional training in animal regulation and welfare, I focus on safety, structure, and building trust. Whether it’s walks, sitting, or one-on-one care, your dog will be treated with love, compassion, and understanding.
Cat care experience
Nikolaas also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I respect the animals and their territory like I would an honored guest. I love it when clients communicate with me detailed instructions and boundaries so I can better respect them. Unfortunately, I am unable to bring any animals into my home at this time.
Ratings and reviews
Nik was great with our 2 girls! He sent daily updates, and even offered to brush them and vacuum the house for us to help with their summer shedding. He left our house exactly as we left it, and was very respectful of the space. He is extremely fast at communication and knowledgeable with dog behavior. We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with him to go on a week-long trip, and we will definitely rebook in the future!
Nikolaas was AMAZING. We left town for 6 days and he housesat and took care of our 3 animals- 2 dogs and a cat. The day we left, our living room ceiling caved in and he handled it like boss. He cleaned. He laundered. He communicated with the people we sent over to start repairs. He also communicated his schedule and sent daily photos of the pets. I can’t recommend him enough.
Nikolaas is awesome with my senior chocolate lab! She adores him! He provides daily potty breaks, attention, and treats!
Another wonderful month of having Nik visit with our girl during our long days at work! He treats her with so much care and patience and truly puts us at ease when we can’t be home.
Came over before our trip for a meet and greet with the dogs as well as us. Great communication. Consistent and sent updates regularly. We were able to go 6 hours away for the first time in years without worrying if our fur babies were taken care of. Truly a blessing.
Nik continues to be the very best! He’s flexible, timely and so, so patient with our girl! We continue to book with Nik and our Maple looks forward to seeing him! He’s her favorite part of every week!
