“Nicole did such a great job taking care of my babies! She really earned their trust and they warmed up really quickly to her. It was such a relief knowing they were being well taken care of and I didn't have to worry about them while I was out of town. I will definitely be using her again!”

About: I love all pets of all verities! I have two dogs and two cats of my own that I love immeasurably. Whether your pet is young and spritely or older and laid back, I hope I bring you the best care for your loved one. I’m an Air Force veteran currently going to USC. I have a very flexible schedule and can assist you and your pet with anything you require to help make your life easy! I have a fenced yard and two very kind loving dogs that love meeting new friends. I have plenty experience in crate training and working with shy animals who just need one on one attention
About: I've been caring for animals since I was a kid, starting with my own family's pets! Over the years, I’ve looked after everything from cats and dogs to goats, chickens, and even horses. I currently have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets like family. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just keeping your animals company, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine love to every pet I look after. I'm available for pet sitting any time during the week — including weekends — and always happy to work around your schedule! I am able to take care of your pets in the morning and evening! I have a fenced yard and large home, I am able to crate dogs if needed. I am much more interested in doing home visits than have them come to me.
About: From volunteering at animal shelters, to working at a doggy daycare, I am well versed in a variety of dog needs. Currently, I am training a family friend’s pup (he’s been making wonderful progress)! Currently, I am a full-time student. Outside of my class schedule, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to caring for your furry friends! First and formost, any correction that needs to happen will always be non-aversive. I believe fear free training, as it is the bare minimum we can do to help our best friends! In order to maintain any sense of routine, once your pup is in my care, I will ensure to stick by routines and guidelines that you set (such as typical walking times, feeding times, etc.) At the end of the day, the dog’s safety and comfort is priority. I also have access to emergency transportation if ever needed!
About: Hi! I am new to SC, recently moved from FL, and new to Rover. However, I am not new to caring for domestic animals! I have been taking care of dogs since I was 12. I have an accumulated 10 years of experience with dogs, cats, and birds. The animals I have been able to care for have been my own, family's and friend's. I am an ex-military spouse. I've done day care, house sitting, boarding, and drop-in visits for people with high security profiles. I have experience with puppies, senior or ill animals, shelter history animals, and difficult intelligent stubborn and power, and herding breeds. I use positive rewarding with the animals and I believe this paired with other training methodologies work best for your pets life-long learning (an animal never stops training). I also use pet corrector aerosol for breaking up or stopping any unwanted behavior that otherwise would injure me to do by force or if the breed is much larger than me and leash pulls or lunges a lot (I weigh 100lbs and I am 4'11"! I need all the non-forceful and safest enhancements I can get). It works really well and I recommend to all dog owners that have a hard time stopping behavior without e-collars, chokers, etc. Dakota, my dog has never had an e-collar and she behaves really well and is obedient thanks to its help and to additional amateur training I did with her by myself. I clean/disinfect my home every day in the mornings and at night, between visits, and at your home services so that areas where the animals are at are hygienic. I have experience making homemade meals for dogs. I have experience with mitigating and adjusting for allergies. I can identify behavioral issues like reactivity, anxiety, high prey drive, and boredom in a dog in order to mitigate it and correct it if necessary. I want their success and their ease while they are in my care. I try to make most walks structured walks so that way your furry friend has some stimulation even on short walks. I clean up any Oopsies the doggy may have done inside of the home. Prices may vary. I do walks 4 times in the day when at my home and 2 while I am away at work and depending on the weather. I give baths as long as the dog is safe and comfortable and if necessary. Prices vary. I am a professional in the food and beverage industry and my schedule varies throughout the week. Please send me a direct message to discuss and verify my availability of the dates and times for the care of your loved animal friend. Care in my home: I do not have a fence which I prefer because it gives a lot of free roaming space for my dog and other dogs. I always make sure to practice meticulous leash training and exploring with the dogs. Sometimes it is even better that way to keep their attention engaged and structure their walks so that they are well stimulated after their walks and have little energy for escape stunts! 15-20 minutes of sniffari's is equivalent to 1 hour of physical exertion for these common domestic furry friends. Care in your home: There is nothing they like more than classical conditioning reinforcement, if necessary. This means I try to do some training tricks which keep them engaged and stimulated. I make sure to address any specific instructions from you and ask questions. If I see the animal tends to have a bad habit at something specific I will check with you to see if they would be okay with my mitigation of the situation: i.e.) if a puppy likes to chew at chords I would ask you if you are okay with me putting the chords in unreachable places around the home or unplugging them. Of course, knowing there is a possibility that I may have to keep up with that task throughout the service. I make sure to keep doors locked of any rooms that the animals are not allowed in. I also reset everything in your home as you left it, unless otherwise requested differently.
About: I have taken care of high energy and working dogs for years. I grew up with hunting dogs and have a working dog myself. Caring for animals in my spare time is something I enjoy and cannot get enough of! I work full time, however mornings, lunch breaks, and nights are devoted to my animals and my weekends are devoted to exploring new places with my favorite companion. I have a 3 year old Belgian Malinois who will keep your pet company and have ample space and a wonderful park to make sure your pet gets their needed exercise.
