Dedicated and Experienced
Pet care experience
I've had animals my entire life, including cats and dogs. I've adopted most of my pets and I understand how to deal with routine health and common behavior issues. I try to adjust my approach to what suits them best as individuals. I know how to engage them mentally and physically. My pets often travel with me and I have a wealth of information and experience in helping animals adjust to change. It's all about fun and staying positive. I will not be on my cell phone during your dog's walk or in-home visit. My full attention will be on your pet!
Reviews
Thanks for your flexibility!
My dog has really bonded with Nicole; he’s always happy to see her (and bring her a gift). She’s careful about walking in the shade on warm sunny days and watching his activity level if he has recently eaten. She was a “find.”
Happy Easter and thanks so much!
Thanks for being so flexible!

Safety, trust & environment
I currently have a flexible schedule, but I also have to ensure I have time to exercise my own dog and I can attend to my other interests. Please note that I cannot do visits or walks before 8 a.m. or past 9 p.m.
Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet
Tell me about your dog's personality, likes and dislikes, medical conditions, and things that may make him/her nervous or set him/her off. Please tell me if your dog has behavioral issues. It will keep everyone safe. If you require administration of medications that I may not be familiar with, I am willing to learn if you show me.
A typical day
I have a high-energy dog and I will try to stimulate your dog mentally and physically depending on age and activity level. I may be able to jog with your dog depending on ability and demeanor. I also have basic understanding of training techniques and if you are already working with a trainer, I am happy to continue those practices as we walk.

Availability
I will not use flexi leashes or introduce your dog(s) to others while in my care for safety purposes. I have experience with large, reactive dogs but I prefer to discuss issues before I take on any client. Safety is number one.
