About Nicolas
Hi! I’m a reliable, calm and attentive person who genuinely enjoys caring for animals. For me, pet sitting is not just about feeding or walking a pet — it’s about making sure they feel safe, relaxed and comfortable while their owner is away. I know that leaving your pet with someone else requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously.
I’ve spent many years around animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities, ages and energy levels. I’ve looked after energetic young dogs that need long walks, play and stimulation, as well as older pets that prefer slower walks and a quieter environment. I’ve also cared for shy or anxious animals that need patience, calm energy and time to build trust. I always try to read their behaviour and adapt to what each animal needs.
When walking dogs, safety is always my priority. I make sure they are properly secured on the leash and I stay attentive to the surroundings, other dogs and any possible distractions. I enjoy giving dogs proper exercise, letting them explore and burn energy in a healthy way while still keeping everything controlled and safe.
During home visits or overnight care, I focus on maintaining the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules carefully, make sure water is always fresh, clean bowls if needed and keep the space tidy. I also spend real time with the animals so they don’t feel lonely — whether that means playing, going for walks, brushing them, or simply sitting with them and keeping them company.
I’m a very patient person and animals usually feel comfortable around me quickly. I understand that every pet has its own habits, boundaries and personality, and I respect that. Some pets love attention and playtime, while others just want calm company, and I’m happy to adapt to both.
Communication with owners is also important to me. I’m happy to send updates, photos or short messages so you know your pet is doing well and feeling relaxed. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind while they are away, knowing their pet is being looked after with care and responsibility.
For safety and wellbeing reasons, I only accept vaccinated pets. Your pet’s comfort, safety and happiness will always be my priority while they are under my care. 🐾
