Pet care experience
I'm a foster care volunteer with Hawaiian Humane Society, mostly taking care of dogs with skin issues but occasionally other illnesses or injuries as well. Happy to watch or walk your dogs! Can provide basic command training as well as socialization, attention, and most importantly... TREATS!
Reviews
Nikolai was great with our two Goldens, a 13 year old and an 8 month old. There is a small dog park near his place that the dogs got to play on daily, and he usually only takes one dog at a time. In our case he took both because they were from the same household. The most helpful thing that Nikolai did, aside from taking good care of the dogs, was being super flexible! My drop off timing was messed up and he went out of his way to accommodate that, plus our return was late, so he hosted them longer than we planned and he rolled with it. Will use him again if the timing works out.
Flexible, responsive, prompt in coordination. Brandy got spoiled with all the love and attention. It was a truly a staycation for her with playing in the park and taking over the house. He offered to send me updates and pics at drop off. Thank you Nikolai. We look forward to future trips because I know Brandy will be happy.
I trusted Nikolai with my four large dogs multiple times, and I’ve always come back to them in perfect condition. Nikolai takes great care of the pets, takes them on walks, cares for them, and understands their specific needs. I recommend him to anyone with dogs!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a ground-level one br place with a small yard and no other pets (aside from fish). I live adjacent to a small dog park, which is usually not utilized by others unless at dusk (can discuss if you're not comfortable having your dog at a public park!). I have a large crate full of blankets and pillows that I like to leave open so dogs can go in or out as they please and plenty of toys from ropes and balls to soft or squeaky plushies.
