About: Located in MONROE Hi, I grew up in a home that did dog boarding, I've literally been around this my whole life. I Foster rescue dogs. I can potty train, teach tricks, work on leash skills and door manners. I have toys treats and a big yard. My house is near the lake and we take them for walks multiple times a day. My neighbors are dog trainers or fellow pet lovers. If you need a safe place to keep your pup during work or over vacation we might be the right fit for you. I have an adopted Pitbull who is literally the friendliest dog in the entire world and great with other dogs. If your dog needs to be the only dog around our home might not be ideal. Just being honest. I want us both to have the best experience possible. Meet and greets are amazing to make sure we are on the same page and to make sure all parties involved get along as well. We only offer dog walks and drop ins locally as it's to costly to do that outside of the immediate area. If outside of the Monroe are please advise. My husband and I are both not working. We have all the free time to spend with your pet that you could want. We could do holidays weekends overnights. If there is something you'd like me to work on with your pup let me know! I have a large fenced in back yard in a dog friendly beach community. We take our dog on morning and evening walks with the addition of play time in the yard or inside if it's raining. We have treats toys and space to relax. I have toys for multiple chewing needs - super chewers or tiny nibbles. I have lots of free time and just want to help where I can.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was about 14 starting with dogsitting for family friends. Once i was 16 I put my info on facebook and I started getting more dogsitting oppertunities. I dogsat for only one dog up to three dogs, small dogs up to big dogs and cats. i have driven a few miles to a house up to about 15 miles. I am in school for radiology, and my summer schedule is as follows: I have clinic from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and I have class on Thursdays until 12:00 PM. On Sundays, I play in a slow-pitch softball league, but that only takes up a few hours each weekend. Outside of those commitments, I have plenty of free time and would love to spend it playing with your pups! I have a fenced-in yard just for my puppy—a small 8lb Mini Schnauzer who is very friendly and would love to keep your furry friend company. I also have four cats who are used to being around other animals. We have a doggy door for smaller pups and a nice backyard with plenty of space for running and playing. There’s also a nearby playground and park—one within walking distance and the other just a few minutes' drive away—perfect for outdoor adventures!

About: I've been taking care of my own and other family members dogs and cats my whole life, as well as watching pets for people I have babysat for since I was 14! I grew up on a farm with horses, barn cats, outdoor dogs, chickens, ducks, and a few goats as well as having lived with mutiple cats and dogs in my life. I currently have three dogs, an Irish Wolfhound (8), a Komondor (8), and a terrier-mix (9), so from 32-150lbs. Two of my dogs are Canine Good Citizens and certified Therapy Dogs through TDI. We all do a 5k once/month and are good friends with a local trainer as well as Dundee Vet Clinic veterinarians. Most recently prior to this, I lived with my sister and her two senior rescue dogs, a 4 year old rescue cat, and my three rescue sugar gliders! This allows me to work well with animals that have to take pills, be given ear medication, apply creams and flea medication, and clean areas that senior pets can't always reach on their own. I love my pets and have gotten along with every dog/cat I've ever met and would love to spend extra time helping care for someone else's fur baby! My schedule varies with my job, so please ask for any requests! I'll always respond and will let you know my availability from there. Thanks! I take my dogs out for several walks a day, two at a time max as I have extra large boys! I provide basic grooming to them at least once a week, give them all their meals, and spend enrichment time with them by playing!

About: Ever since I can remember I’ve had a huge passion for animals. Because of this, as soon as I could work I got various experiences caring for, and working with animals through professional pet sitting, working at a large and small breed petting farm, working at a dog kennel and daycare, and attending a dog grooming school. Through these experiences I’ve had years of hands on training learning to monitor the emotions, health, and overall well-being of each pet (old or young) that I’ve came across. I would love the opportunity to have you trust me in caring for your furry friend, and promise to do whatever I can to give both you and your pet the best possible pet care experience! Currently, pet care is what I base my daily schedule on, so your pup is my top priority! In the late spring, summer, and early fall months I do work part time. If given enough time in advance I am able to set my own schedule, meaning that I can schedule this job around the needs of your fur babies ! To ensure the trust and safety of your pet, I will always take EVERY safety precautions that I can. Before each pet care service I make sure to study all the information I can about your pet to make sure I can give them a personalized safety plan, as well as a caring and stress free environment. Also, I am dog CPR and emergency medicine certified.

About: I have routinely watched my coworkers dogs while they are out of town, I have 3 dogs of my own and if I could I would take in every dog that needed a home, love and a warm spot to sleep. While I understand dogs are a product of their environment, I respectfully ask not to board Pit Bull terrier mix or Rottweiler breeds. Thank you. My pets have been treated with flea and tick prevention medication. I work Monday thru Thursday and usually am home by 2. My boyfriend will stop by at lunch and let my 3 dogs out to potty. On my days off I am usually home. I have a fenced yard and 3 dogs of my home who are friendly and welcoming to new dogs. They are not crated but I can crate yours if you wish.

About: I have had pets all of my life from a range to farm animals, bunnies, cats, and dogs. My dog fur babies are 12 and 1 years of age. I have had them since puppies. I give space and time for shy dogs to get to know me. I am home very day and can give medications and potty breaks as often as your animal needs. I have a spare bedroom that your fur baby can get space if needed or they can have full range of the home. I am also able to take your doggo on frequent walks or just loving cuddles throughout the day. I am currently working on developing my own metal health private practice so I am not working. I am 100% open to cater to your pets' needs. I take my 2 dogs outside on leashes for potty breaks. I am only able to do potty breaks on leashes at my home. I also pick up poop in the yard, so I am able to make sure your dog's tummy is doing ok.

About: I have had many pets throughout my life including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, chickens, and a turtle. Each one a fun loving experience in its own as me and my three sisters grew up. Upon moving out of my parents house I had a malshi (half Maltese, half shitzu) dog named Max with my roomate that we adored to pieces. Unfortunately when we graduated and went our separate ways, she was in a housing situation bigger and better for the playful puppy that Max still was. I have a blast playing, walking, cuddling, brushing, and taking care of dogs of all kinds! I would love to be able to take care of your dog and treat it like it were my own!

About: My pet care career started in 2014. I worked for a rescue on a farm. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, fish and most live stock. I am a dog groomer now for 7.5 years and I currently groom out of my own home. I specialize in anxious, fearful, elderly and special needs pets. I am very flexible and have my own reliable transportation to get where I need to go in a timely fashion. I can schedule times around my dog grooming clients as needed. Since I work from home it gives me more flexibility to be able to let your pets out to potty more frequently and spend more time with them.

About: Pet care is something that I am very passionate about, as I am currently going to school for my veterinary technician associates degree! I have my own fur-babies and have never lived without one in my home, so I am very accustomed to the care of dogs from puppies to senior dogs. This may include proper feeding measurements, administering simple medication, simple training, and long walks of course! I am currently working part time so I have a very flexible schedule! Most days of the week I may walk/stop by your home from about 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Although I am not offering boarding at the moment, I plan on it in the near future! I have a fully fenced larger backyard and I also have an 11 year old shitzu who is very friendly!

“Nicole is extremely dependable and trustworthy. She regularly walks my two boys for me during the week, and I always come home to them happy and tired after their walks with her. It's a huge stress relief to have someone so caring taking care of my dogs while I'm away. Not only does she take them for walks, but she makes sure their water is filled and gives them lots of love before she leaves (with treats and ball time). Nicole also messages me with any concerns about my dogs, including checking in to make sure the length of the walk isn't too much for my older dog. We are lucky to have Nicole as such a great dog walker and you won't regret picking her to take care of your furry family. :)”
