Your family = my family for the day

Pet care experience

I'm Nicole and I am an animal lover and dog/bird/fish mom who appreciates pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My 11 1/2 year old GSD recently passed and since we aren't ready for a new furever friend, we are opening our home to doggy daycare and other pet services. I also work with pets with anxieties and social issues, and I love animals of any age and development. For me, pets are definitely people, and having worked in an school environment caring for other peoples' children and family members, I know what it's like to have to understand different needs regardless of what they are and nurturing that needed care environment. It goes without saying: I aim to treat your family with as much love and care as I do my own!

Nicole was a lifesaver for my situation. She immediately bonded with my dogs, one of whom is pretty exuberant. I recommend her highly!

Nicole took great care of my two dogs while I was away. She is super friendly and reliable; I’m glad I picked her to watch my two girls. Thanks to her, I didn’t have to stress while I was on vacation!

About Nicole A.

Skills

10 years of experience
Oral medication administration
First aid/CPR
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience

Safety, trust & environment

I have a partially fenced yard however I routinely take my own out on a leash equipped with doggie bags as we tend to go out for a walk during potty breaks anyway! My home is very pet friendly and I encourage snuggles on the couch. If needed we can crate during the night but as every furbaby is different I can meet your needs and pet's comfort level depending on what they are used to.

Information Nicole A. would like to know about your pet

Anything needed to get to know your dog is helpful, as well as any medication/allergy/diet concerns or any histories relating to illness, handicap, or injury.

A typical day

Lots of playtime, walks in the park, lots of pets, big hugs and cuddles, healthy pet-friendly snacks and a safe, nurturing environment. I also enjoy some snuggles in the evening with a movie/TV on or reading a book. I have plenty of dog toys from my girls including treat toys, sensory toys, dog puzzles, fuzzy stuffies, and other play items that any pup might enjoy.

I only work part time 5 hours a day, so I have plenty of time during the week to play and care for your pups or kitties! I am free on weekends as well and generally in the afternoons to evenings, although morning drop offs and visits are no problem.
