Client Feedback & Reflections
From daily routines to long stays, these testimonials highlight the experience, reliability, and care I bring to every sit.
Björn
If I could give more than five stars, I would. Nicolas was by far the best dog sitter and house sitter we’ve ever had.
We hired him for in-home dog sitting / overnight pet care for our dog, Björn, and he was phenomenal—consistent routine, plenty of walks and enrichment, and genuinely attentive companionship. His communication was outstanding: thoughtful, detailed updates with great photos and videos, and he always used excellent judgment (especially around other dogs).
On the home side, he treated our place with real care and respect. We came home to a house that was immaculate—everything felt calm, organized, and well looked after, which made our return home so easy.
If you’re looking for a reliable, professional dog sitter and trustworthy house sitter, I can’t recommend Nicolas enough.

Michelle's Pack
We’d give Nicolas more than 5 stars if we could — but since we’re capped, 5 stars it is.
This was our first time using a housesitter, and we were genuinely nervous — especially knowing it would be a two-week international trip. Nicolas put every one of those fears to rest. He was communicative, proactive, thoughtful, and considerate from start to finish — exactly the kind of sitter you hope for but aren’t sure actually exists.
Our animals are our children (we’re those annoying helicopter pet parents), and they were so wonderfully cared for. We received plenty of pictures and updates throughout the trip. When our puppy developed some separation anxiety early in the sit, Nicolas handled it with remarkable patience and worked with us collaboratively to find solutions.
On top of the exceptional pet care, he was incredibly respectful of our home. We returned to a house that was somehow cleaner than we left it — and we had cleaned before we left.
If you’re lucky enough to have Nicolas sit for you, count yourself lucky. We’d welcome him back into our home without hesitation!

Sirena
We could not have had a better, more reliable sitter than Nicolas for our home and senior cat for a month-long stay! From our initial contact, it was clear that he is an excellent communicator, and we valued that he would be able to send us photos and videos of our pet and was able to make evaluations on her well-being.
He was excellent at assessing our cat’s issue with facial swelling due to an infected tooth and getting vet care during his stay.
He left my home spotless and even cleaned my refrigerator, which was so nice to come home to! My elder cat was so happy and calm, having had Nicolas’s expert attention for more than a month that we were away. I highly recommend Nicolas as a five-star, trustworthy sitter!

Kaia and Kiwi
Nicolas was an outstanding house and pet sitter. We couldn’t have asked for more. He loved up our dog, took her for daily walks despite the terrible weather, and threw the ball for her in the parks.
He shampooed her twice—once out of necessity and the other just because we were coming home. He managed to make friends with our moody parrot 🦜 and had her sitting on his shoulder, happily conversing. She was well entertained.
We came home to a sparkling clean house and very happy pets. We would welcome Nicolas back at any time.

Parkour
Wow, Nicolas was a dream sitter! He sent loads of photos and videos, great updates, and kept Parkour very happy! I really appreciated his thoughtfulness and attention to detail.
He left my place sparkling clean and really made every effort to put my mind at ease while I was across the globe. I can’t say enough about what a great job he did. Highly recommend!!!

Milo and Rusty
Nicolas was an excellent house and pet sitter. He communicated clearly, paid close attention to details, and carefully followed all of our instructions. Most importantly, he took wonderful care of our two pups.
He sent daily updates and photos of the boys, so we always knew they were getting plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away.
When we returned, the house was spotless. Nicolas had washed the sheets and towels, remade the bed, and left everything clean and tidy. He even provided a departure checklist documenting the pet care, house tasks, and cleaning he completed—very impressive.
We would happily have Nicolas sit for us again and recommend him without hesitation.

Rosie
Nicolas was as close to perfect as any sitter I’ve had. I’d rate him a 10 out of 5! He was meticulous in his care for my dog Rosie and my home. He lavished love and attention on Rosie and sent me pictures of the fun they had together.
He left my home cleaner than when he arrived—washed all dishes, dusted, washed sheets & towels, and left the kitchen spotless. He sent me a weekly report of everything he and Rosie did together, along with a full departure checklist.
Nicolas exceeded my expectations and I’d recommend him to anyone.

Molly & Puppy
We had such a wonderful experience with Nicolas! He watched over our pups & home while we ventured internationally to do IVF. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!
We received regular updates & pictures and questions showing he was very much paying attention (for example, one pup had a surgery as a puppy that resulted in one leg being a tiny bit shorter than the other; I didn’t mention it, but he noticed her slight gait abnormality).
He let our pups sleep in bed with him, walked them, and took such good care of our home and car. We got to rest easy knowing our pups were in such good hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have him back. Thank you again!

Matilda
Nicolas was an amazing house and pet sitter. He communicated with us every day and sent pictures, was super polite and reliable. He also was clean and left our home the way he found it.
Our dog got sick during his stay, and he was amazing about keeping us informed on progress and what was happening. He was so helpful, and we would be grateful to have him sit for us again. Afterwards, his stay, he was thoughtful and kind enough to check in on our dog and see how she was doing.
We were so lucky to have someone that took such good care of our pets and our home while we were away. He was incredible.

Appa & Mosely
Nicolas was absolutely amazing! Even before the dates, he looked up events in the area for our pets to help them have an enjoyable time and went above and beyond for them.
He put our mind at ease, being able to trust they were in good care while we were gone, and left the house cleaner than he found it. Nicolas was responsible, respectful, and great at communication!
Five stars all across the board!!!

Winnie
We were leaving for Europe for ten days and were unsure who to leave our two dogs with. Nicolas did an exceptional job. He was great with our two dogs, and it really gave us great peace of mind.
They need a lot of attention, and the older one has anxiety and requires a special diet. They were well taken care of and got lots of cuddles. Nicolas was easy to communicate with and provided us with updates. I would definitely use him again. Thank you!

Annie
Nicolas was absolutely wonderful and truly went above and beyond in caring for both my dog and my home. He was extremely communicative before the stay, reaching out with thoughtful questions and responding quickly whenever I needed anything. Right before the stay, an unexpected hot spot cropped up, and Nicolas handled it with so much care—sending daily photos and updates so I always felt reassured.
He treated my home with incredible respect and left it cleaner than it has looked in years. The kitchen was immaculate: cabinet doors scrubbed, the range hood spotless, and the floors freshly mopped. This was far beyond anything I expected. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loved him. He quickly understood her personality and knew exactly how to keep her happy.
I cannot recommend Nicolas highly enough—if you’re lucky enough to book him, do it without hesitation.​
