Dogs Are Better Than People
Pet care experience
I've been watching dogs and other animals since I was 12 years old. I recently moved to Florida, so my schedule is open and I am accepting new clients. Let's schedule a meet.
Reviews
Niko was very kind and accommodating to our schedule as plans changed a few times. We have big boys, he was very comfortable with them and they with him. He sent us lots of pictures while we were gone. They were very calm when we returned like we hadn't even been gone. I would definitely recommend Niko to care for your fur babies!
Great choice! Nikolai kept good care of my fury babies. He is reliable and maintain updates throughout week. It felt great returning home knowing my babies were in good hands. Highly recommended!
Niko was amazing! Went above and beyond with our two dogs with an added dog last minute! As well as taking them on last minute since our previous sitter had an emergency. Will for sure be rebooking with him!
Our original sitter bailed on us a few days before we left for our trip, and we were lucky that Niko was available! He was very responsive and got back to me about the booking request quickly. He was willing to come meet my dog a couple of times before staying at the house. My dog is pretty aggressive towards new people, but Niko was calm and by the end of the stay, the two of them were good pals. Niko was great with our cats as well and made sure all of the pets were taken care of. He sent pictures daily and treated my home with respect. Niko did a great job and it gave my girlfriend and I peace of mind that the pets and the house were being taken care of.

Information Nikolai O. would like to know about your pet
I understand owner's often have fears that they will not be booked if they disclose their pet's quirks. Most severe issues, for both a caretaker and your pet, can be prevented by being open and honest. I can work with a pet with aggression issues, over protectiveness, anxiety, special needs, ect. I can't work and won't continue to work with owners who try to hide these and put both their pets and myself in danger. Let's discuss.
A typical day
I would work from your home and hang out with your pets. As I get to know them, I will talk to them and treat them like they are my own. I'm a good listener and will listen to them tell me how tragic their lives are and how they are just absolutely abandoned. (Don't worry I'll stick up for you.) We could go on a walk, to a dog park, on a car ride...the world is our oyster. If you happen to come home early unannounced, you'd likely find us in a cuddle pile listening to music.

Availability
I have been working with Rover since 2017. I have taken care of all sorts of dogs, but I have a special place in my heart for pitties. I've helped raise 3 litters of puppies. I worked with an at-home foster rescue, mainly receiving dogs who had been severely neglected or were being used as bait/fighting dogs, for 6 years. I have patience, love, and never assume anything with a dog without learning their comfort levels. I have regular clients who I can't wait to see when their owners take a vacation, just so we can hang out. 😝🙃
