Safety, trust & environment

Having two dogs and chickens at my home, I know animals can sometimes be "escape artists". I always make sure your pup will be on a leash, or appropriate dog run, before any gates or doors are opened. And again when leaving. All doors are closed before untethering.

Information Nichole C. would like to know about your pet

Before I meet a dog, I need to know if they are good with kids, and new people. Sometimes just meeting a dog once isn't enough and they change attitudes when you enter a home without the owner present. I would also like to know how they feel about animals we might encounter during a walk, in case they will pull towards them. So I'm prepared.

A typical day

I will run and/or walk with your pup and play with their favorite toy with them. I enjoy walking on trails, if they are close enough to your home.

Pet care experience

Growing up my family has always had dogs. I love dogs of all breeds and ages. I have house sat for many families with pets before. From dropping in a few times a day to let their dogs out to play, to even staying overnight with their pets. My husband and I own a business that allows us to work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. We have two daughters, two active dogs and some chickens. I love to run and hike, and would love take your furry friend out for a run or walk, on or off the trails. I can do drop-in dog care for those long days you need to be out of the house or dog walking to help you get the exercise for your dog when you just aren't able to.

Nichole is incredible! She was amazing with my dog Boe, and flexible to working us into her schedule. Boe loved Nichole so much that she started doing her happy whimper barking when she saw Nichole pull up to the house.
