Animal Lover and Outdoor Enthusiast

Pet care experience

I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with dogs, cats, horses and cattle. I am an active individual, so I'll make sure to get out & explore with your dog as much as possible. This includes daily walks and trips to the dog park, if appropriate. I have worked with large breeds (previously owned a 90 lb Coonhound) as well as special attention animals (my lab previously had spinal issues) so I'm comfortable and caring for all breeds, sizes and special circumstances. I am also available via text/call to keep you updated about your pet and would love to provide updates as required! I'm a responsible adult and will ensure to respect you, your pet and home with the utmost care. Please note I come as a package deal with my chocolate lab Colby. She LOVES all animals as well and I will ensure the proper introductions are made before approving any services with your pet.

Nicole, Thank-you, you were great! Our ask of Nicole was to look after our senior dog, who is 18 years. Nicole took steps to meet us and Bentley to ensure it was a good fit and was always communicative throughout our trip. Always on time with her updates, we had complete peace of mind that Bentley and Nicole were getting along. Nicole was great at asking questions when needing direction and support for effective pet caregiving. Thanks Nicole!

We had a wonderful experience with Nicole! She was very good at communication and sent us daily updates, pictures and videos. Our dog had a ton of fun with her dog, went on lots of walks and enjoyed her playtime. I can not say enough good things about Nicole and Colby! We will definitely be using her in the future.

I was tempted to leave a bad review so Nicole has more availability for my girl.

I have a fully fenced, very large yard that’s great for playtime and to burn some energy! I also have an unfinished basement that’s our designated play area when the weather isn’t cooperating. I have a 1.5 year old fixed female chocolate lab who loves to play and be there to keep your fur baby company. I am happy to crate your dog as needed and make them feel right at home. This is a kid free home, so the fur babies get ALL the attention. I love providing updates as well to make sure you know exactly how your fur baby is doing while you’re away.

Information Nicole A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any specific behaviour or medical issues, I am happy to accommodate. A meet and greet with my resident dog is mandatory before accepting a client, so please advise if your dog is friendly and would appreciate another dog in the home.

A typical day

I will make sure to keep them mentally and physically exercised. I have volunteered many years as a foster with various rescue organizations and have taken training on dog behaviour and LOVE the challenge of puzzles, games and new tricks to keep your pup entertained! I frequent the fully fenced dog park near my home and will spend the time needed making your dog feel comfortable exploring the neighbourhood around my home.
