Safety, trust & environment

I do my best to make every animal I care for feel safe and secure. I've taken care of many animals that are shy and sensitive, so I prefer to go at the speed they need me to. I know new people can be scary for them especially while their owner is away so I will do my best to make them as comfortable as possible.

Information Niles S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what your routine with your pets is typically like so I can try to stick to it as much as possible. Keeping that sense of routine helps pets feel less stressed while you're away. In addition knowing their favorite hiding spots is important if there is ever any emergency or natural disaster where we need to leave quickly so I can find them if they are scared.

A typical day

I will follow the routine you provide me as close as possible to help your pet feel a sense of normalcy while you're away. Otherwise I let the pet set the pace on if we will have a high energy day of adventure or a chill couch potato kind of vibe.

Niles took excellent care of our pets while we were away and they were all comfortable with him. Very respectful, courteous and couldn’t ask for more from a pet sitter. Will definitely use again.

Niles stayed at my house & dog sat Mel for 15 nights. He walked Mel twice a day in the neighborhood. He checked in with me as needed & promptly responded to my texts. Mel was well cared for & not left alone for long periods of time. The house was also taken care of. I would recommend Niles & plan to ask him back again in the future.
