“Nicholas was terrific! Prompt, friendly and reliable. I had Nicholas walk my dog every morning for a week just after I had back surgery. My dog took to him right away and got so excited to see him every morning. Nicholas took different waking routes but preferred taking my dog to the field which he most enjoyed. Great guy. Highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with multiple pets throughout my adolescence. It greatly enriched my life and made even my lowest moments much lighter. Throughout my 10 years of caring for pets, I have learned that pet care is not unlike caring for oneself. Taking the time to understand, respect boundaries and provide empathy is what I strive to deliver when caring for a pet. I have experience in dog training, after years of working with my beloved Bloodhound Olive. I don't shy away from handling, a more intense furry-eared friend. As long as they are not dangerous to me or others. I am heavily experienced in walking large and small dogs. As well as handling overnight and day-to-day care of both dogs and cats. I fit my pet care availability around the beginning of the week and keep dog-walking availability in the morning or noon. I am usually open to overnight or day-to-day babysitting if it can be scheduled a few weeks prior. To ensure I have no other engagements that take me far from my area. I am big with understanding boundaries, so I treat a client's home exactly how I would my home to be treated. To only exist in the places directed by my client and to focus my care on the pet.
