About: I’ve spent my entire life growing up around many animals and always being taught to treat each one like family. I’ve taken care of many types of animals, owned multiple exotic animals of my own, co-ran a pet sitting business where at one point I was watching 13+ animals at the same time, and am comfortable with every breed, from the never ending energy of a border collie to taking it slow with a senior dog. I am a young, responsible and professional adult, I love the outdoors and taking dogs out into it, I am someone who thrives in an organized environment and am patient and more than willing to work with animals that need to build trust. My top priority is always the safety and happiness of the pets I take care of, always ensuring they are getting the mental stimulation they need as well as knowing their behavior and being able to accordingly keep them in situations they are comfortable and happy in. I work part time as a baker, I have most availability during the week M-Th, but am available most weekend afternoons/evenings. I love getting out into nature and am very willing to work with you to fit dog walks, boarding or whatever else you may need with my schedule! I live in a townhouse with a large shared park/lawn/patio area a few seconds away from my front door. I also have many many walking trails and parks within a few minutes from me that are all off of busy roads/areas and take you through forested areas, marsh, and large fields. I always carry everything I might need in any emergency situation with an animal I’m taking care of, I am always very aware of my surroundings and am very good at catching animals behaviors before any situation has escalated and am able to prevent them, from both my animals and strangers. I have spent lots of time training and many hours learning about animals and the physical warnings they show in discomfort, I have always been able to safely remove or prevent my own pets as well as clients from a stressful situation. I have no trouble standing up for my animal if a stranger isn’t taking proper care of theirs and will always ALWAYS put myself between them and harms way.
About: Can provide personalized care, from long energized walks for your young pets to sitting on the deck giving one on one time with your senior furry friends. I'm currently on summer break from college so I can provide services whenever needed. I am an early morning person and can also be a night owl when needed. When caring for client's pets I provide individualized care for whatever the pet needs. Crating, special food, specific exercise, or whatever care the pet needs to be happy and healthy.
“She is awesome with my dog, very patient with him being so excitable. She walked him, played ball with him and even took him to stalk birds which are three of his favourite things to do! She also was comfortable with carrying his water bottle because he is a thirsty boy. My dog came back tired! Recommend 100% Will book again for more walks! thanks Noelle!”
“Nichole is amazing! She came on short notice and walked our dog for several days before Christmas. She was very prompt and responsive. She is a huge dog lover and took great care of our dog. She sent pictures, text updates of every walk and even a holiday dog biscuit and chocolates for us on Christmas Eve. We would call on Nichole anytime. She’s a fantastic person.”

About: My family and I have been dog owners for 13 years. I know have 3 back at home and miss them dearly. So I would be grateful for the opportunity to have some fun and exercise with your pups! I’ve raised a litter of pitbulls when I was 10 years old which gave me hands on care with animals. Along with that I’m a cna who’s going to school for nursing so I have the knack for caring for others. I love to run and would love to take some pups on runs if that’s okay with you. Love going for walks as well of course! When back home I’m very active in pet care from morning to night. Feed, play, exercise, and cuddles! My pups are a big part of my family. No pups where I live currently, so would love to walk and run with yours. Dogs are a humans best friend, and I have a lot of puppy love to share!

I have reliable transportation just in case a pet may need to be transported to the vet.

“Finding a dog sitter who is not only reliable but also genuinely caring is really hard and Ari is exactly that. Ari dogsat for me for 6 weeks while i was on a trip. My dog, Ollie, is usually anxious around new people, but he took to Ari quite quickly. When I hired Ari, I was a little worried as Ollie isn't that accommodating but she handled him quite well. Ari sent me regular updates, asked questions and was very accommodating. She acted as a true professional and left me and Ollie happy.”
