Pet care experience
I've always loved animals! I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish. I’ve taken a class on animal behavior and have hands on experience caring for all kinds of pets (dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rodents, goats, chickens). My first real job was as a Kennel Technician at my family veterinarian where I gained valuable experience caring for all shapes and sizes of dogs. Now I want to share my love and passion for caring for animals with you and your dog!
Reviews
Nicole and Austyn are the best!! I needed an overnight sitter super last minute and Nicole was able to help me out! I really appreciate the flexibility and will absolutely be booking with her again :)
We love booking with Nicole! My dog loves to explore the yard and hang out with her dog. I’m never worried about the care Luna will receive when she’s there.
Theo had another great stay with Nicole! Will definitely be using her services in the future!
Flexible, accommodating. Booking and working with Nicole was easy and satisfying. Benny had a blast!
About Nicole B.
Communication

Safety, trust & environment
I absolutely love dogs and will make sure your pets are extraordinarily well taken care of! We have a good sized fenced in front and back yard, with a 6ft privacy fence in the backyard. So in addition to multiple walks there will be plenty of time spent exploring and relaxing outside. I feed my dog twice a day, but am happy to follow whatever feeding guidelines your pup is used to. From my experience working at a vet I am also very comfortable making sure your pet gets any needed medications. I share my home with my partner, Austyn, who will also help in letting the dogs out as his work schedule is different than mine. Otherwise there are no children in our home and we have dog loving friends over occasionally.

Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to know anything and everything! When they like to eat, toys they enjoy, their favorite place to be scratched! I’d also love to know if there are any things that make them nervous or scared so I can do my best to avoid any scaries or comfort when they are unavoidable. If your dog knows any specific commands - sit, down, stay - I’d love to know the words you use so I can do my very best to understand your pup!
A typical day
I love pups and making them happy! My day with your dog will include walks through my neighborhood and the park across the street, leisurely hangs in my backyard with sun naps and fetch! Our house is full of dog toys, bones and pup puzzles if your dog likes those they’ll be in heaven! Happy also to accommodate shy pups, pups with medical needs and funny quirks!

Availability
As a dog owner myself, caring for pups is a staple activity each day! First thing when I wake up is breakfast for Tank and then outside for exercise and a potty! The same for when I’m home from work. I have a flexible work schedule so some days, like Tues & Thurs at the moment, I’m home early! Weekends are dedicated to quality time with Tank - lots of outdoor adventures and snuggles! I share my home with my partner, Austyn, he works at a local restaurant and our work schedules make it so Tank - and your pups - will never be alone for more than a couple hours.
