About Nicola S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In clients homes, as well as out and about with pets, I am very conscientious of pet safety and overall security. My house has a fenced yard and we are close to several parks (including one nice fenced dog park) for walks. My home is well set up for pet safety and comfort, since my own dogs lived here for 20 years.
Information Nicola S. would like to know about your pet
Each dog and cat has their own personality, and I would like to know anything you'd like to share about your pet. Personality traits, things that might make them nervous, favorite treats, activities, and ways to be interacted with.
A typical day
I love to take dogs for walks, watching them for signs of whether they want a longer or shorter walk. I think it's really important to attuned to the dog, and to let them take their time to sniff, rather than pull them along. I love walking fast with more energetic dogs, and I also love going slowly and taking my time with dogs who are older or less energetic.

Intuitive & conscientious caregiver
Pet care experience
I took care of my two beloved rescue dogs for 20 years. I have experience with senior care and also plenty of energy for younger dogs. I consider it a privilege and an honor to spend time with animals and will care for your pet with the utmost concern for their well being.
Reviews
Nicola is great and we will continue to use her for all of our walking needs! Bonus points because my pup loves her and he can be a bit picky with humans 😅
Nicola is a great walker! Very gentle with my pup Ozzie, who can be stubborn at times 😊 We will absolutely be booking walks with Nicola again!
Nicola has been incredible. My pup can be a bit anxious, and Nicola has been such a warm and generous presence for her. I was nervous about having someone start to walk her regularly, but Nicola clearly loves and understands dogs. She is also super professional and communicative and has made the whole experience so easy. Strongly recommend working with Nicola!
Nicola was communicative and took great care of Rocky!
