I like dogs more than people

Pet care experience

I grew up with two German Shepherds, Duke and Thor. Eventually after Duke passed away we got Brie who was a "K9 drop out". My brother has a 1.5 year old German Shepherd. Kai, and my dad has a 3 legged chocolate lab, Bixby, and two cats Socks and Olaf that I frequently care for. I am familiar with small, medium, and large breeds. Dogs with behavioral issues, food aggression or dogs that require specific instructions.

Nicole was absolutely amazing!!! All the dogs loved her. She went above and beyond to be sure they were happy and taken care of. This definitely not the last time we will be using her!!!

Nicole is capable & caring. Very importantly, she listens & follows instructions. We were pleased to invite her into our home & take care of our 2 dogs. I'd feel comfortable in recommending her & will surely seek her services as the situation presents itself, in the future. Jerry & Laraine

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot have pets at my home but I am very clean and organized. I also clean houses on the side, so if you need any house work done, I am a good fit. I will also make sure your pet is safe by making sure there are no hazards and if we go for a walk I will keep your pet on a leash and protected against any threat. I have had many dogs off leash run up to myself and a clients dog and I always put myself in-between my clients dog and the others.

Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has food aggression, dog aggression or people aggression. My black Shepherd was a K9 drop out and she did not do well with other dogs or people. I am very familiar with dog aggression, food aggression and people aggression.

A typical day

I love hiking, walking and swimming. If you dog likes to be outside, they will love going on adventures with me. For those pets that don't always like to walk or go out for potty breaks, I entice them with treats or try to get them excited enough to go outside.
