Hi I'm Nicole, a dog loving grad student looking to make some furry friends. I'm happy to come over to hang out with your dog, take them for walks, or even help with training. Just let me know what you need and we can set up a meet and greet. After growing up with 4-5 dogs in the house at any point in time, the college and early adult years in apartments were a bit of a shock. I started walking my neighbors dogs and as clients grew more comfortable with me, it grew into overnight, in-house pet sitting. It's now 12 years later and I am returning to grad school and want to bring back this trade to my routine. I have a 9 year old, epileptic beagle mix who is fully trained on emotional support for middle to high school students - he is my best bud. He is particularly great at helping reactive and anxious dogs adjust and build confidence. He doesn't have puppy energy anymore, but he can also help socialize puppies who are willing to play with me instead. I have a soft spot for the large breeds but love giving little guys the breaks they need too. I would love to opportunity to earn your business and make a new friend. If you cat is harness trained and wants walks; let me know! I'm incredibly enthusiastic, active and I just love dogs. I like to think that I'm very similar to our four legged friends, I am full of boundless joy! I can frequently be found studying and going to the gym. I love cooking from scratch, playing soccer--and watching soccer-- and going for runs! I'd love to spend time with your dog and learn more about them!
