About Nikolaas P.
Communication
Skills
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.
Information Nikolaas P. would like to know about your pet
> Dietary restrictions. > Any illnesses, injuries and medication schedules. > Any touch sensitivities, behavioral concerns (resource guarding, leash aggression, dog aggression, prey drive, etc) NOTE: this will NOT make me say no to you!! Just as heads up for both your dog and my safety. > Your goals for you and your dog (Eg. Socialization, training, energy reduction, just dog sitting, etc)
A typical day
I love not just physically exercising an animal, but also encouraging mental stimulation through games like scenting, training tricks, encouraging natural hunting behaviors (in cats), and more!

Caring and passionate professional
Pet care experience
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.
