Millennial Seeking Running Buddy

Pet care experience

I've been caring for large dogs since the day I was born, but after being a foster mom for shelter dogs for a while I finally caved in and adopted a sweet fur baby of my own. Being a foster mom has taught me how to love dogs for who they are. I learned wicked research skills so before I even meet a dog I know all the stats about their breed and how to best care for them. I've cared for medical cases and know how to administer medicine to dogs so it feels more like a game than a punishment. I've also had my share of caring for dogs with behavioral problems and am open to discussing any quirks or socialization issues your dog might be experiencing and discuss how best to care for them in my time with them. I've cared for dogs of all ages, all sizes, and all temperments. I have a fenced in back yard that your dog and I can play in and have some one-on-one fetch time or they can sunbathe - whichever your dog prefers. :) I would also love to take your dog out for a day in the city if you are comfortable with that and take them walking at Town Lake or Zilker Park or maybe take them to play at Yard Bar. What I'm trying to say is that I've loved dogs my entire life and I would love to care for your dog while you're away!

Nicole was great, kept me updated on what time to expect her, and even sent pictures of my dog on their walk. I will definitely be using her again!

Nicole took such great care of my dog. I was on vacation for 2 weeks and she kept me updated the entire time. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. I will definitely use Nicole again.

Information Nicole C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dog's background/story and any behavioral issues they struggle with. I will have done my part and researched the breed before any meeting so I can be aware of breed specific behaviors like herding, etc. but I would like to be notified of any behavior quirks or behavioral problems. I would also like to know of any rules you have in your home that you would like me to enforce with your dog as well such as keeping them off the furniture, etc. Like I said, I’ve dealt with a wide variety of behaviors and am not scared of any quirks your dog might have, so long as you - the owner - prepare me for them beforehand. I am open to all breeds, so bring on your little furry friend!

A typical day

We have beautiful hiking trails in my neighborhood where we can go for long walks/runs. We have a fenced in back yard that's perfect for off leash fetch in a fenced in environment. I would also love to take your dog out in the city with me to outdoor patios, coffee shops, parks, or my favorite Austin dog spot - Yard Bar. We can also go to public dog parks if that is something you are comfortable with. But if public spaces aren’t your dog’s thing, I’m totally content to snuggle on the couch and catch up on some Netflix together.
