Experienced and Reliable Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve worked with all types of dogs over the years working for Rover. From strong German Shepards, to big personality chihuahuas, I’ve walked and taken care of many types of dogs. I will treat your dog like I treat mine, with love and respect. Some good qualities of mine are I have a bachelors degree in psychology from UC Santa Cruz, a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification, and I have over 1,000 reviews as an Uber and Lyft driver, both with ratings of 4.99 out of 5 stars. Other pets I have taken care of in my lifetime have been cats, hamsters, rats, and fish. I am loving, responsible and more than happy to care of your dog!

Nikolai is amazing, he is so caring and his love of animals definitely shows. Our dog Nova is a high energy and loves to go on walks with Nikolai, and is so excited every time he comes around. I would definitely recommend Nikolai to anyone looking for a dog walker or pet sitter.

Our pug absolutely loves Nikolai and looked forward to her walks with him. He was very responsible and timely. Looking forward to having him take our dog on future walks.

Nikolai spent two days and nights at my house with my two dogs and was fantastic. He is likable, communicative, trustworthy, and reliable. He was respectful of the house, careful to follow my instructions and most importantly, very loving and attentive to my dogs. He went above and beyond to form a relationship with each of them, understanding their different personalities and needs. We will definitely use him again.
