Hello! My name is Nicole and and my husband Edward and I enjoy providing top-notch, in-home care for your pets! I attended UW-Madison's veterinary program, have interned at a local veterinary clinic/boarding kennel to gain practical experience, and I founded and ran a feral cat rescue for many years. While I was unable to finish Veterinary School, my love of animals has never changed. Even as a child growing up on a farmette, I loved caring for all of our animals. I also raised rabbits for 4-H and have handling awards throughout the state. Currently, I care for several rescue animals, and my proudest accomplishment is training a dog that was slated for euthanasia to become a certified service animal for a woman with severe arthritis and seizures. In addition, I have practical medical experience and have been veterinary-trained to test blood sugar, administer insulin, give IV fluids/medication, and perform subcutaneous/intravenous/Intramuscular injections using proper sanitation procedures to ensure the safety of your pet. I have interned at a local veterinary clinic/boarding kennel, trained a service dog, owned dogs my whole life, participated in dog rescue, and have pets of my own! And it's not just my experience that is offered to you and your pet - Edward and I are team players in the care of your pet, offering truly round-the-clock care! We are passionate about providing a truly home-away-from-home experience, so your pet is never left alone and forlorn...we are both committed to making sure your pet is as comfortable and happy as possible. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs my entire life! I love animals and grew up in rural Racine county on a farmette, where I did a significant portion of the animal care. I enrolled as a student at UW-Madison to start a career as a small animal veterinarian. I interned at a veterinary clinic in Oak Creek, and spent a significant amount of time working with the dogs that were boarded there. I have been fortunate to have known and loved several rescue dogs. Adopting unwanted animals has been a passion of mine my whole life. My experience administering medication I am very comfortable administering medication. I have an abundance of practical experience in that regard, from oral medications to injectables. I am also veterinary-trained to administer fluids if that is indicated.
