A Dog's Best Friend

I'm currently a stay-at-home mom, but I am a former Firefighter/EMT for the City of Williamsburg. Before that, I was a Vet Assistant for Noah's Ark Vet Hospital. My husband is a firefighter/paramedic, my daughter is in middle school, and I have a three year old German Shepherd. I've never lived without a dog in my life. I was responsible for our family dogs when I was a kid, and I loved it! As a young adult I worked for a Vet Clinic and was responsible for walking/exercising the animals, grooming, administering medications and assisting the Vet Technicians and Doctors during procedures. I genuinely loved my job, but chose to join the Virginia Air National Guard in order to train as a firefighter and serve my country. When I came home from basic training and the fire academy I landed a job with the Williamsburg Fire Department. I worked there for thirteen years, and then decided to stay home with our daughter when my husband was promoted. I'm very active. I run or walk daily with our German Shepherd. My schedule is open and flexible. I would love the opportunity to take care of your dogs!

We have just begun working with Nicole but if this past week is any indication of what is to come, she is the best.

Nicole, is amazing with my dog Finn. He is very comfortable, and always excited to see her. She is always dependable and takes pics on their walks. I would highly recommend Nichole..

Nichole is fantastic! She takes such good care of my fur baby, communicates so promptly, and shares lots of pictures! She’s a pro!!! I never worry about my pup when she’s checking in on him and taking care of him!

Nichole did it again, as always, but even better. We have new needs for our pups and she was so understanding and professional about it (one of our dogs is now on a medication and she is very particular how she’ll take it). Nichole always goes the extra mile on her pictures (like taking head shots of each dog on our mantle 🥹) and her pupdates are always so detailed and fun to read about what it babies are up to while we’re gone! We all love when Nichole is able to take care of the dogs, especially the dogs!
