Pet care experience

4 Legged Mom & Lifetime Lover!

I have had dogs since I was 5 years old. I have 3 pits now (1 bully pit, 1 pit mix, 1 staffordshire terrier). I also have a cane corso that my dad takes care of in his lonesome days. I have plenty of knowledge in almost every breed & know my way around properly caring for an animal. I have home trained all my dogs (potty, sit, paw, lay down, stay, go, leave it, drop it), & while I am no professional trainer, I have a keen draw to dogs & usually bond with them fairly quickly to have a great relationship with them. I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is open & flexible. I have previously dealt with females in heat (2 of them being my own), unneutered dogs, sick dogs, & physically disabled dogs. My aunt had a blind/deaf dog, who I helped take care of during the summer when I was younger & off from school. I have dealt with aggressive dogs as well, my own for example, so I am aware of the signs to pay attention for & ensure all animals are fully supervised under my care.

Nichell was very communicative and super friendly we were a little nervous about using this app as this was our first time. We really enjoyed the experience and I’m sure Millie did as well. Thank you so much!!

Nichell is our go-to dog sitter now! She does an excellent job, and our dog just loves her even though she can be quite shy. She also looks after our other small pets when we need her to. Highly recommend!

Nichell did a great job, She accepted a week long job only a few days in advance, and took good care of our pets. I am very happy and will definitely try to request her again next time we go away. So much better than a kennel!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard. I have a half acre of property but only 1/4 acre is fenced in temporarily but is fully secure. My youngest pup, Xena (bully pit) is caged when not supervised (due to destruction of everything in the house) but is never caged when home. Xena can be aggressive wth other dogs as she has showed aggression before towards her brother (who now lives with my fiances parents) but it was retaliation and we have had her around other dogs & she’s gotten along with them just fine. She will be kept a distance from all dogs she doesn't know out of precaution at first for safety, & will be slowly introduced to get to know one another. Dogs are allowed on couchs & beds & are let out as often as they would like to go out during the day.

Pets

A typical day

I love going for walks with the doggos so they can smell all the smells. I love teaching puppies new tricks. I enjoy playing fetch/frisbee/tug of war, but not as much as I love the cuddles & pets!!
