For the love of Dogs!

Pet care experience

What could I say about dogs and cats? Except they are the best things on the planet! I have over 10 years of experience working with dogs (and cats) in many environments. From doggy daycares, in-home dog boarding, pet sitting (in your home), and neighborhood dog walking. Every dog has their own personality and I am all about catering to your dog's unique needs. My experience ranges from specialized care, rambunctious dogs, shy dogs, different sized dogs, to senior dogs and more! I am able to administer most medications and am happy taking it slow with dogs that need some more time or space. I own a senior dog who is great with others. He’s not a big player but loves to lounge around and let other dogs do their own thing. I have a certificate in Applied Animal Behavior at the University of Washington and have some brief experience in dog training. I love interacting with dogs and cats, watching them and teaching them new things is a fun and rewarding experience. As a heads up, along with Rover's Terms of Service, I do have an additional contract that must be signed before the stay begins. I hope to meet your dog or cat and learn how to best support them and you as the owner!

When one returns from a trip, meeting or excursion it is always in that moment of return we are given an opportunity to evaluate and observe the effects on changes to our microcosm. Though initially many were opposed to the idea, having Nichole over was very instructional (for my self/dogs) and helped me to understand more about our pets and her. We learned remedies and obtained insights into the specific behavioral needs to benefit them both. Photos she sent were happy and the Rover report cards were honest. Julie does her prancing when she sees Nichole to indicate her excitement and Dash is liking the tactile petting and Blue Buffalo Salmon treats she gives him. We we got back, we found the dogs in great physical shape, house was well taken care of, clean and tidy (as we left it). Flowers/garden was watered. There was a technical difficulty, and Nichole handled such in a calm manner. Thanks for managing things so well, for your patience and diligence in all things. We are glad to know that you will be returning.

We recently had Nichole care for our pets for the second time and she is amazing! She took great care of our senior dog who is also blind & deaf. She was so caring toward our dog. She also cared for our 3 cats & went beyond by feeding our fish too! Nichole communicated regularly, was prompt for check-ins & left the house in perfect condition. You can really tell how much Nichole cares for animals. We will definitely use Nichole again in the future, she is so wonderful!

Another wonderful visit by Nichole. Bowls were filled to the top. Exercise was accomplished with a morning walk around the neighborhood and treat was given. Plants were watered and following the walk, huskies were fed. They really like having her over. Kudos for perfect timing and an honest analysis as requested. Report card and photos were a good way to observe the visit. See you soon. 🙏

Information Nichole A. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences but I would like to know how is your dog with other dogs, cats, and people? How are they on a leash? I find that dogs walk MUCH better on a leash, do they have one?

A typical day

We will go for walks where your dog is most comfortable, in your neighborhood and local parks. We will get some energy out and they will get lots of cuddles and love.
