Pet care experience
Happy Dog Happy Life
Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced walker based in NYC. I grew up with a Bichon Frise who was part of my life for 17 wonderful years, so I know firsthand how much pets mean to their families. As a former Division I athlete, I bring discipline, focus, and reliability to every walk or pet-sitting job. I've walked over 80 dogs through Wag and maintained a consistent five-star rating, working with breeds of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. From energetic puppies to slower paced seniors, I tailor my care to meet your dog’s unique needs. I’m building my dog care business on Rover because this is something I’m truly passionate about. I take pride in offering top tier care, clear communication, and peace of mind for pet parents. Whether it’s a quick walk or play time, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Let’s connect, I’d love to meet you and your pup!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I gave my own for 17 years. Whether we’re walking through busy NYC streets or relaxing indoors, I stay alert and fully present to make sure your dog is safe, secure, and comfortable at all times. I always use secure leashes and harnesses, avoid high traffic areas when needed, and follow any specific instructions you provide whether it’s feeding, medications, or preferred walking routes. I'm also experienced in handling a wide range of dog temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs. As someone who’s earned a 5-star rating on Wag walking over 80 dogs, I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pet. Communication, reliability, and transparency are at the heart of everything I do. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in good hands with someone who genuinely cares.
Ratings and reviews
Nik has been awesome at taking our pooch out on solo walks and also giving him his lunch afterwards. Couldn't recommend him more. He proactively communicates if there's changes in his schedule so we can plan accordingly.
My dog had a great time walking with Nikolas! He was very professional and easy to communicate with. I would totally recommend him as a dog walker.
Nikolas was great! He was easy to communicate with and really made sure my dog was comfortable and happy. Would definitely recommend his services!
Helped me out last minute and was incredibly communicative! Thank you!

Nick as amazing. He looked after lychee really well and made her feel comfortable and loved for the day whilst we had to be out of town. We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future care
