I am a small business owner with a varying schedule day to day, but I’m often driving around for work. I’d love to build in stop bys or walks in the morning, lunch hour, or evening. If it’s a regular commitment, I can schedule my appointments around your pets care needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I will take time to understand the routines at home so that I don’t disrupt walk routines, treat time, feeding schedules and medicines. I’m happy to work with commands if you’re teaching or reinforcing and will crate or leave to their castle as you explain.

Information Nichole H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your friend has special needs or if you have a preferred walk route/routine/greeting habits that will help your fur friend feel most comfortable with me. If they have different leash behavior or if you’re working on specific commands or habits, let me know. I’m happy to reinforce.

A typical day

I will joyfully greet your friend and ensure water is fresh and full, food is served, if needed, and give lots of attention. I will take them on a 1-2 mile walk depending on abilities and play fetch or tug with them. I like to create brain engaging activities that keep them busy when I leave or under supervision if needed. Of course, lots of belly rubs and ear scratches!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a family lab, have had a Newfoundland and a Saint Bernard on my own. My Newfie lived to 12 and required senior care with lifting sore legs, drug administration, and supporting incontinence. The big guys have stubbornness, so I have developed a strong presence, patience, and appreciation for consistency. I like to help care for my family’s dogs, getting them exercise and entertainment so their brains are happy and are less prone to the less desirable behaviors. I adore cats and love to give lots of pets and scratches as well as play.

Nichole has been great! She is very friendly and responsive. I enjoy the report cards I get from her visits. It’s comforting knowing that my kiddos are getting checked on each day by someone caring. Having Nichole stop by takes a lot of stress off my shoulders while I’m at work all day. Highly recommend!

Nichole is so good with dogs and animals. If there is a dog around, she is holding or petting them. She is great at making shy dogs feel at home and knows how to tire out high energy dogs! I would trust her to take care of any and all animals! She sends lots of pictures and always has updates about my pup, which I so appreciate!
