Love to walk, looking for company!
Pet care experience
I have a passion for animals, especially dogs, I have grown up with labradors but I have never met a breed I didnt like. I am learning to train dogs to become service pets and would like to use what I've learned to care for your dog. I believe in positive reinforcement when training dogs and that there's always time for another walk! I am a teacher so I am available whenever there is no school, holidays, March Break, all through the summer and of course weeknights and weekends! I live in an apartment, small to medium size dogs welcome (preferably dogs who are used to being in an apartment). Any dog is welcome for walks! I am eager to get started and get walking!

Nicole has been helping me take care of my dog Jada since she was a puppy, she helped me train her and showed me strategies to help me through the puppy stage. I have trusted Nicole to take care of Jada when I go away on vacation, for a week at a time. Nicole has been so responsible and caring towards Jada, we live in an apartment, so taking a dog outside can become a pain, but Nicole made sure to take her out every hour just in case and also take her on long walks 3 times a day. Jada can become very hyper and bored cooped up at home and Nicole made sure to take advantage of walks and dog parks as much as possible. We have been introducing new commands to Jada and we always have a new list when Nicole comes to visit. It puts my mind at ease when Nicole asks questions to clarify what we're doing so that everyone is on the same page. She always makes sure she understands what we want and it helps to keep things easy for Jada. I always know that when Jada is with Nicole, I don't have to worry because she is always in good hands.
Nicole has been our dog walker and dog sitter for a few years now, she helps us out whenever we are away on trips or busy with work and can't give our dog the attention she deserves. Nicole is very attentive and caring when it comes to pets, she follows whatever guidelines you give her regarding your dog and follows them so that the dog is safe and comfortable. Our dog can become very aggressive towards other dogs, Nicole has always been so careful to make sure both our dog and any other dogs nearby are safe. We know that this can be a challenge for many people, but Nicole puts Mollee first and will find ways to get Mollee outside and exercised without having her get worked up over other dogs nearby. When we go away, we know that Mollee is safe and happy with Nicole, she directs all of her attention to Mollee as she can get worked up and anxious when we are away too long. It puts my mind at ease to know that Nicole is aware of this, and will make sure Mollee is calm and happy the whole time we are gone. We love getting updates from Nicole as well, she is always so good about keeping us informed of how Mollee is doing when we aren't there. We would definitely recommend Nicole to take care of your dog!
