Animals are family, not food
Pet care experience
I am a dog walker/ sitter. I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and have volunteered at a farm in Malibu known as Big Heart Ranch alongside SouthPark Doggie daycare. I eat plant-based because I see animals as human, I treat animals the way I’d treat family. This sort of job will allow me to see purpose in life and have enjoyment in doing what I love most: being with animals and being outdoors. Often I find inside jobs to be restrictive and it doesn’t feel like me. I’m happy to be responsible and be doing something I love all at the same time. I have a major in communication studies and a minor in holistic health, and these two areas combined can be of benefit when being gentle and patient with the animals. On my free time I practice asana as a teacher, and this allows me to control my everyday thoughts and freely work through situations with others. I look forward to spending as much time with animals as I can, and have many animal meditation projects in plan.
Reviews
Nicole was very polite and able to fit me in last minute! She was prompt and great with communication. She asked about my preference for where to take Margie and even played fetch with her in the park for a while. Thanks so much Nicole!!

Safety, trust & environment
I can walk, pet, shower, pick up dog waste and be the best pal of any animal. I have an albino English bulldog, husky, and Pomeranian, and chihuahua mix. I love to add essential oils and sprays on them and give them raw veggies plus run around the house with them.

Information Nicole A. would like to know about your pet
I am okay with dogs of all different backgrounds. Seniors and dogs with special needs are fine. I just ask for special care of dogs to be included beforehand and I am willing to research more on your dogs symptoms and be attentive and prepared for the job.
A typical day
I am big on hiking and will love to explore different trails with dogs! Most of my time was spent at Runyon Canyon growing up and have a huge connection to nature and hope to be someone who can help establish that vital connection for your pets too.
