Pet care experience

11 years of Animal Care experience

Aside from owning my own dogs, I began handling show dogs with my aunt for Bluwave Collies (Torrington, Ct) at 9 years old. I am experienced in breeding, handling, basic grooming, basic obedience training and pack management. The breeds I specialize in are Collies, German Shepherd Dogs, and Shelties. I also have experience with Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Bichons, Polish Lowland Sheep dogs, Chinese Crested, Tibetan Spaniels, Golden Retrievers, Labs, Pitties and Pittie mixes, Rotties, and Dobermans. I’ve worked for other breeders and handlers such as Mara Flood of Sugar N Spice Collies (Campbell Hall, NY) and assisted MaryAnne Carew of Ceili Shepherds (Torrington, Ct). I have experience in pack management and can preform basic grooming skills (baths, nail trims and files, teeth, ear cleanings, and external gland expression). I am skilled in basic obedience training. I offer training services working on basic manners such as loose leash walking, sit, down, wait/stay, polite greetings, and enrichment activities (brain games, mental exercise, etc.) I’m very flexible with my free time and I’m looking to spend it with your pets! I am available for early morning and afternoon visits and walks. Your pups (or kitties) and I will play and burn off all that extra energy leaving them relaxed and happy :) My availability is very open and I am searching for last minute requests or long term care! Please see my calendar for full availability.

Safety, trust & environment

At the present moment I do not provide services within my home. In my home we have 3 total dogs - My Bodie (American Foxhound), Bandit (huskyxlab), and Diego (Siberian Husky). Your pet will receive a total personalized experience based on their needs. Have a high energy dog that seems to always be bouncing off the walls? Ask me how I can help!

Our pets received excellent care and attention. Highly recommend Nichole. Extremely dependable. Have used her for pet check in visits 3 times now and already have another week scheduled in October. I can't say enough good things about Nichole. It is such a great feeling to be able to leave our home and know our cats and dog will be well taken care of.

Nicole is a very responsible young lady who has always had a love for animals. Over the years, she has helped me raise a litter of 8 including everything from whepling at birth to vaccines to grooming and training, she has also done dog sitting for me everal times while I was working or out of town. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanx for the love and care you have shown to my pets over the years.

Nichole is my neice, I tought her everything she knows about pet care especially dogs. I was a breeder owner handler of Champion Rough and Smooth collies and i started her in Jr showmanship when she was a kid. I tought her grooming, nail triming,etc. She is a very dedicated and hard worker and loves all animals just like me. I entrust her to thecare ofmy now senior collies and new doberman puppy whenmy husband and I wanna go away wether for a red sox day game or outta town for the weekend. She can be trusted with my fur babies and id trust herwith yours.
