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.

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.

Nik is a true professional who genuinely cares about the pets he’s visiting and has so much knowledge to share! We have a senior mixed breed who is nervous around new people and Nik was patient with us (as we were using this service for the first time) and our girl who was understandably a little anxious about someone new being in her house. He has amazing communication skills and is incredibly reliable.

Nikolaas was an amazing dog sitter to our two pups. Our boys can get anxious without us, but they loved him. He was super communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, and I felt much more at ease leaving home. We will definitely book him in the future.
