I’ll run, walk, or just come play!
Pet care experience
I’m a recent graduate, working as a freelance software engineer. That means I have very flexible hours, and I’m available short notice. I love all dogs - I have experience with little ones (shih tzus, chihuahua mixes, and terriers) and some of the larger breeds as well (mostly pit bulls and a Husky). I’m a jogger, and I would love to take your more active doggos for runs to burn off some excess energy. If they’re more of the lapdog variety, I can always provide some midday cuddles and playtime. I’ve always cared for animals of all kinds, and I come from a family of Vet Techs and animal rescuers. I have lived on a ranch around horses and chickens (and even had an indoor pet chicken who thought he was a dog). I’m comfortable around snakes, lizards, turtles, birds, and other exotic pets as well.
Reviews
Nichole is just amazing! Completely reliable and is more like a dog trainer than just dog sitter! The pups agree, too!
Extremely friendly and caring and trustworthy. Listened to all the instructions and specifics and always followed through. And the dogs loved her from the minute they met her. I hired her specifically for her experience with large breed dogs though she seems like the person who's comfortable around any and all size pets :) Always on time, punctual, and very diligent with the care she provides for the dogs.
Nichole does a great job!! Trust her with our kids(dogs)!!
Nichole was great with our three kids(dogs)!! They can’t wait to see her again!!

Information Nichole L. would like to know about your pet
I need to know how well socialized your dog is (both with people and other dogs) and if they suffer any medical conditions. I’ll also ask what common commands you use with dog, so that I can keep them consistent.
A typical day
I’ll take your dog through walks and jogs throughout the local neighborhood. If your dog isn’t leash trained, I can work on him/her with proper leash behavior as well! If you’re working with an older or less active dog who may not be able to cover a few miles comfortably, let me know and I can do a shorter walk with a play or “chill” session, where we play with a toy or just sit on the grass at a park and enjoy the outdoors (something my 16 yo shih tzu loved).
