I love all pups! All ages & sizes(:

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Nicky! I recently moved to the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area from Birmingham, AL. Although my professional background is in healthcare working as a Nuclear Medicine Technologist, I am an avid dog lover who has owned and cared for multiple family pooches since the age of 5. Growing up mostly around larger, active dogs like Labs, Pit Bulls, and Dobermans, I am used to dogs with high energy/exercise tolerance! I have one dog now, a very friendly Border Collie/Flat Coat Retriever named Luna, and we love going on runs! I am dedicated to creating the best experience possible for you and pride myself on treating your pup with as much love & care as I would for my own. We welcome all dogs no matter breed, size, or age as long as they are dog friendly (:

I knew my litter of pups were in good hands with Nicky. She did a great job handling the surprises they threw her way. Definitely someone I would trust to watch my pups again.

Nicky did an excellent job! Very punctual. Followed my requests to a T. Very professional. Communication skills are superb! I felt comfortable with Zora’s care in her hands and will 100% be requesting Nicky’s assistance in the future.

Information Nicky H. would like to know about your pet

Are they friendly toward other dogs? Any food, treat or toy aggression I should know about? Do they have any “triggers” (i.e. cats, loud noises, squirrels, etc)?

A typical day

I plan to take at least two 20-30 minute walks with each pup per day, unless further instructions/requests by owner. I have a medium sized fenced in dog park within my complex I can and will take pups to with owner’s approval.
