Pawsome Adventure Provider!
Pet care experience
I have grown up around dogs all of my life and love training, playing with and caring for all dogs! I have experience with all sizes, from a Chihuahua to an Akita to a Saint Bernard. I live in an easily-accessible location in Alexandria and am able to treat your dog to some pawsome adventures! My apartment complex has a nice “bark park” and I am not far from Old Town, Shirlington, Navy Yard, etc. for longer adventures! I respect owners' training preferences & instructions and am a responsible caregiver. I do not have any pets or children and have a spacious place for your dog to relax. Prior to the pandemic, I spent a lot of time at my work or traveling, so I do not feel right having a dog of my own and Rover is a great alternative at this point in my life. I look forward to dog-tripping with your pup!
Reviews
Boarded my 10 yr old lab mix Alex with Nicole while on a 5 day trip to Chicago. Nicole was prompt in her responses, professional, courteous and very accommodating (especially in light of the relatively short notice of my request). In spite of the time crunch my short notice had put her under, she graciously & promptly set up a meet and greet with Alex (much appreciated by me). She sent regular periodic updates re: Alex' adjustment and photos of her forays around town and put my mind completely at ease during the trip. Alex was none the worse for wear upon my return and had no problems slipping back into her regular routine at home. I would happily recommend Nicole's services and would easily consider boarding Alex with her again should the need arise. Thanks again, Nicole.
When my husband and I had to make some last-minute travel arrangements for a funeral, we searched on Rover and contacted Nicole. She got back to us that same evening and we arranged a meet-and-greet for the next morning. I took our dog Polly down to her place and was impressed by Nicole's responsiveness. We arranged to drop Polly off that evening for a week-long stay. When we returned that night, Nicole was very welcoming and let us visit for a little while to transition Polly to a new environment. We probably seemed like hyperactive dog-owners but Nicole graciously listened to our run-down on Polly's routines. At first I was looking for a place with a fenced yard, but Polly got plenty of exercise at the dog park and out on battlefield walks with Nicole. The most important thing is that our dog was given lots of personal love and attention. It was so great to get happy-dog-face photos and videos while we were away! We are glad to have made Nicole's acquaintance. We will definitely contact her for future stays.

Information Nicole A. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any specific instructions for the dog, their temperament, things the dog enjoys to do and any fears the dog may have. I do not have any breed preferences, however I am very comfortable with large dogs.
A typical day
My apartment complex is located in an easily accessible part of Alexandria and has a fenced-in dog park onsite! My area is also fairly residential and there are plenty of places nearby for long or short walks.
