Safety, trust & environment

Personally I have three dogs that are all rescued bully breed mixes. There is a special place in my heart for bully breeds but I love all dogs. I understand what it is like to have a dog that is easily misunderstood so I strive to understand the needs of every dog I care for. No matter the breed I strongly believe that every dog is an individual.

Information Nicole A. would like to know about your pet

I will take all the information I can get about the dogs diet, routine and habits. Does your dog have any verbal cues that you use on walks? Do you prefer to establish a routine when going on a walk (ie: entering and exiting the home, sitting for the harness, etc)? Do you use treats while out on walks?

A typical day

I enjoy walking and running and I love taking dogs around the neighborhood to sniff and explore. I would love to know if your dog likes to run, or appreciates leisurely walks instead. I love finding new local trails if there are any nearby your home I would love to hear about them. At your home I will maintain your pets usual schedule while you are away and provide them some companionship and attention.

Pet care experience

I love animals! Growing up I rode horses, had pet rabbits, ferrets, cats and dogs. Currently most of my clients are dogs but I am also glad to care for other pets.

Baldur had many wonderful adventures with NIcole when my husband was out of town. He knows when she is coming over and waits for her inside the fence.

Our dog is always excited to see her. She is always patient with him.
