Pet care experience
Experienced Dog Care South Austin
I'm an animal lover with a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, farm animals and even kangaroos! At home, I care for my own two rescue dogs (70lbs and 80lbs), including one who is reactive, so I completely understand patient, calm handling and reading animal body language. I am well versed in positive reinforcement training and balanced training. Dog training is a big hobby of mine and it’s something I’m passionate about! With my reactive dog, Crew, we play a lot of games in the back yard and short training sessions, along with treadmill walks. We also go to Sniffspots every weekend where he can run off leash. My other dog Ivy is not reactive so we do neighborhood walks, off leash hikes, and Sniffspots. A little about me: I have 12+ years in House Management and Personal Assistance. I was recently laid off, so it’s time to get to work!

With my reactive dog, Crew, we play a lot of games in the back yard and short training sessions, along with treadmill walks. We also go to Sniffspots every weekend where he can run off leash. My other dog Ivy is not reactive so we do neighborhood walks, off leash hikes, and Sniffspots. If your dog is unable to walk safely in the neighborhood I have all kinds of games we can play. My dogs’ favorite game is “find it” where I hide treats and they go find them, lol. It’s fun, and it gets their brain and body moving!
Ratings and reviews
Nicole is incredibly flexible and accommodating when it comes to last-minute requests. She communicates exceptionally well, and I have complete confidence that my animals are in good hands with her. Additionally, she is trustworthy and reliable, making her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a pet sitter.
We had such a great experience with Nicole! She was reliable, communicative, and took such great care of our dogs. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pups were in good hands while we are at work. She sent updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind and made it so nice to see how happy Chase & Riley were. We would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring, dependable dog walker!
I have used Nicole multiple times and had a great experience each time. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of my dog. She was on time, provided updates, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands with her. I would absolutely use Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable dog walker!
I’ve trusted Nicole with my dogs for years and wouldn’t go with anyone else. She’s a true dog lover through and through and highly knowledgeable on how to care for them. She first cared for my dog, Bear, who I had for 14 years and I now trust her with my new dog, Olive. I don’t know what I’d do without her help!
I cannot recommend Nicole enough. She is timely, responsive and always takes amazing care of our pup. We have an elderly dog who requires medication and a little more attention when going down stairs and Nicole is so patient and sweet making sure she is happy and comfortable. She always gives lots of loves and sends great updates and photos. Your dog will have a new bestie with Nicole.

Schedule
I was recently laid off so my schedule is wide open. I exercise my dogs early in the morning, so after that I am free!
