No cat or dog too big or small

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs and cats my entire life, I absolutely love animals! In the last 10 years I have raised my Siberian Husky Rocky and Great Pyrenees mix Izzy from 8 weeks old. And for the last 20 years, I've helped raise and care for our adorable family cats. Living with such active breed pups always keeps me on my toes. I love running, walking, and playing with them every day! My availability is very flexible. I take time and commitment very seriously so if we have a scheduled appointment you can count on me to be there. I have experience with bigger dogs like German Shepard's as well smaller dogs like Pomeranian and Bichon Frise. I also have experience with multiple breeds of cats; Maine Coon, Tabby, American and European short hair. With having the opportunity to raise my dogs, I also have a lot of experience with puppies. I've dog sat for 12+ years, ans understand the different needs that different dogs have!

Absolutely amazing! Great communicator and fantastic with our cat Tom. Would highly recommend for any pet sitting needs and if needed will definitely be calling her in the future!

Nicole was great to work with. She came over to meet and greet the day before the walk to help make our dog more comfortable, and I came home a happy puppy after a great walk. Will definitely consider again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

Both of my dogs are crate trained so I am familiar with the assembling and the use of crates. I’m also familiar with many different types of harnesses and leashes on walks.

Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or specific behaviors to be aware of before meeting. Also if there is anything I can do to make them feel more at home!

A typical day

I love giving dogs the chance to explore all the world had to offer! Whether it be going to the dog park or just taking a new direction on an every day walk so they can experience new types of smells. My personal favorite thing to play is tug of war!
