Your Dog's new Favourite Auntie!
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Nicole, I am 28 years old and am the Auntie to all my friends and family members dogs! I have years of experience both dog sitting, walking, and even taking pooches on runs around the neighborhood. I have dog-sat and walked every variety of pooch. From old to young, and big to small. I grew up with big, energetic hound dogs as a kid, so I understand the importance of dogs getting their necessary exercise in each day. The only reason I do not have my own is because at this stage of my life, I don't have time every day of the week to give a pooch their needed time running around, which is why dog walking a couple times a week is the perfect fit! I currently work full time from home, and am able to dog walk in the early morning, lunch time, or after work hours. I have a vehicle that fits dogs so it is easy for me to drive to parks or your home. I love going for runs and exercising in my neighborhood, and would love having a pooch alongside for these walks and runs. I live in a duplex, that has a fenced in backyard with a reasonable amount of green space for a bit of running around and wrestling! Our house is always very clean, and is also puppy proof.

Safety, trust & environment
My boyfriend of 6 years and I live in a duplex with a fenced in backyard! My living room faces the backyard, so it’s easy for me to keep an eye on them while they’re using the bathroom in the backyard. We have a security system we set at night time so no intruders are getting in! I keep my home clean and organized so that it’s a peaceful and have a set spot where I keep your pups food and if they have any, their medication. So that it’s always in the same place and easy to keep track of.

Information Nicole C. would like to know about your pet
Ahead of time, I like to know if there are any training skills you are working on with your dog (tugging on leashes, recall etc.) If you let me know ahead of time, I will continue to work on the training during our walk. I also need to know if your dog plays well with others, is allowed in off-leash parks, if they are spayed/neutered, and if they have any health implications I should be aware of.
A typical day
I love running around and playing with the dogs in my care. I love a good game of fetch, tag, and seeing dogs play with other dogs in the park. I grew up in the South West of Calgary, so I know all the best dog parks. There is a fenced in dog park just 6 blocks from my home that I like walking to. If your dog is able to go off leash, I love taking dogs to River Park. Which, in my opinion, is the best and biggest off-leash dog park in the South West! At dog parks, I am always on my toes to intervene if dogs are feeling overwhelmed, or aren't playing well with another dog in the park as well.
