Energetic to work with all animals!

Pet care experience

I hold a degree in conservation and wildlife. During my degree I completed many veterinary courses, and general animal health care classes. I have extensive experience with the professional and personal side of animal care. Worked many years helping run a pet store, dog grooming and bathing, along with general health care advise for animal owners. I have farm sit in many situations, taking care of everything from herds of alpacas to large number of dogs to reptiles. My experience with dogs also spans to my work with sled dogs in Alaska for the whole winter of 2017. Willing to work with any animal with special needs. I take animal care seriously and treat all animals under my care as my own.

Nickolei has been walking our collie puppy, Bailey, over the past few weeks, and has been wonderful! He is very punctual and Bailey loves him.

Our second time booking Nikolai. Our kitties love people so much it’s important to us that whoever watches the cats plays with them and gives them attention and Nikolai does. He is also very clean and thorough.

Nikolai not only did great care of my kitties but also was super helpful in cleaning up after their mess. He wrote great reports during his check-in visits and took several photos. The cats seemed very happy around him. I'd definitely recommend Nikolai to anyone.

Nikolai was amazing. He took great care of my leopard gecko, feeding her well, transporting safely and helping shed
