Safety, trust & environment

I understand every animal is different and they have different needs! I am well versed in keeping a dog safe in different environments and I never allow a dog off leash except in allowed and known spaces. I always use redirection and positive reinforcement training. I am happy to follow any special instructions you have or use any tools or equipment you own.

Information Nichole D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any known commands, what y’all are working on with training, or how they walk on a leash. Also how they interact with other animals and people. Any health conditions, allergies, and treat preferences as well as how many to give in a walk/visit.

A typical day

I love long ambling walks where I let pups sniff and explore (while being safe). I usually stop for a bit to sit and maybe do tricks for treats or just play. If your dog is great at dog parks I love letting them roam as well.

Love hanging out with your pets!

Pet care experience

I LOVE to snug all animals. I’ve owned cats, dogs, snakes, fish, rats, and geckos and I used to work for PetSmart and Petco! I recently graduated nursing school so I am experienced at medication administration. I have a large breed lovely dog who is very well trained and I can handle giant breeds, pullers, puppies, and dogs in training well. I also have a prissy giant old man cat who loves to perform the scream of his people regularly. His name is Cat! and my dog’s name is Crab Rangoon.

Nichole is so awesome! She quickly connected with my dogs and gave them the love and attention they needed. She was prompt and professional and is a dog lover!

Nichole has watched my cat several times now, and each time I’ve been so impressed by her responsiveness and how much she really cares about her. I absolutely hate leaving my cat but knowing that Nichole is spending time with her every day I’m gone makes it a little easier!
