Hello! My name is Nik and I am very excited to be a part of Portland's animal community! I have grown up around animals all of my life and find spending time with them to be one of life's most rewarding experiences. I am truly at peace when I am with furry pals, so the least I can do is make sure owners feel at peace when I am with their companions by prioritizing their pet's health and happiness. I am a recent graduate from Boise State University who has relocated to Portland to focus on pursuing a career in wildlife biology and conservation science. Through a combination of my major as well as my experiences as a dog owner, I have gained a deeper understanding into animal behavior which allows me to best serve the needs of the dogs I work with. I hope that I get the opportunity to meet your best friend soon!
