Walks, Parks & Pup Perks 🐾

Hi, I’m Nicole 👋 A lifelong animal lover and someone who truly enjoys helping animals in my everyday life. I work from home, which means pets are part of my daily routine and are never left alone for long periods. My flexible schedule allows me to give all fur babies steady attention and care in a calm environment throughout the day. I only accept a limited number of pets at a time so each one gets real attention, structure, and a peaceful home setting — this is not an overcrowded experience with lots of dogs. I also have a pup of my own named Bowie, who is mamas little sidekick and the heart of our home. 🐶 About Bowie Bowie is a 3 year old tricolor show line beagle and my adventure dog. He goes almost everywhere with me and rarely leaves my side. He’s friendly, playful, confident, and well-socialized with other animals. I often find that he helps create a relaxed, yet fun and natural home environment for visiting friends. 🏡 What your pup can expect * A calm, clean, home-based environment with consistent supervision * Regular walks and outdoor time * Attention and companionship throughout the day * A structured but relaxed daily routine * A safe, comfortable space where they are treated like family 💛 My approach I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, comfort level, and emotional needs. Some dogs want play, some want space, and some just need calm reassurance — I adjust my care to what helps them feel secure and settled. My goal is simple: help your dog feels safe, understood, and at home while you’re away.

I express how thankful we are for Nicole! We met at the park to introduce our puppy to her cute dog. They instantly become buddies. We were extremely comfortable with Nicole. We left our puppy for the first time with her and he was a very happy boy when we picked him up. I loved the short video and pictures she would send to us.

Nicole is a diamond! I am so grateful to have found her. She takes such good care of my Portuguese Water Dog, Dozer. She is a great communicator, responsive, caring, and I feel so lucky to have to have found her. 10/10!!

Safety, trust & environment

We live on the ground level of a fairly small complex. I have a patio for a little outdoor relaxation, and live within walking distance of great trails, streams, and parks that we visit daily. Bowie also has plenty of toys and a ball pit he’s happy to share!

Pets

A typical day

Our days always start early, with a potty walk around the neighborhood followed by breakfast. Meals around here are usually followed by some relaxation and playtime. The early afternoons have become nap time, after which (depending on your pups needs) we take a walk around our neighborhood, hit the park for some fetch, explore a trail, or just continue lounging at home.

Bowie and I are happy to accommodate our guests with special requests any way we can, and appreciate you letting us know in advance. We do best when informed ahead of time about any behaviors such as separation anxiety, reactivity, food aggression, or specific needs so we can make sure we’re the right fit.
