Information Nikolay G. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable fulfilling any other task for you that a dog owner could encounter. I sometimes lift the dog if encountering an obstacle and feel them for bugs that they may pick up as an example.

A typical day

Fun for dogs is important and so is food. With my help walking your dog I will command the dog by voice to do various tricks and reward it with treats. Some tricks you can expect your dog to learn are sit, wait, hurry, or jump up. These are the most valuable dog walking tricks I can provide.

Pet care experience

The dog skill of staying aware of my surroundings has taught me everything I need to know to continue living a stress free life with my dog. All dogs are different and I can show them a comfortable attitude while providing some healthy exercise.

Nikolay was on time and took great care of our 2 dogs. He took them for long walks and was prompt to respond to messages

Nikolay looked after my 3-year old golden retriever. He brought him on multiple walks/hikes and always updated me with photos. He took great care of my dog. I highly recommend Nikolay!

Nikolay is a dog person. I've watched him interact with quite a few dogs, and I would say that he is conscientious with other peoples dogs, but doesn't overwhelm dogs if trying to win them over.

I highly recommend Nikolay for anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable dog walker. As the owner of a rescue dog with special needs, I was very careful about who I entrusted with her care. Nikolay was wonderful—patient, gentle, and incredibly attentive to her specific needs. My dog, who can be skittish and nervous around new people, warmed up to Nikolay immediately, which speaks volumes about his calm and caring approach. He followed all the instructions I provided to the letter, making sure my dog felt safe and comfortable throughout their walks. It's clear that Nikolay is dedicated to providing the best care for dogs, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog with kindness and respect, Nikolay's connection to animals makes him the perfect choice.
