Pet care experience

Love lovin the puppers of the world

Starting from the age of 10 my family has had many animals. Not only am I used to taking care of my own pets but I have farm sat as well. Being on a farm I became used to dogs of all breeds and sizes, ranging from english mastiffs over 200 pounds to small terriers no more than 20 pounds. Dogs with a wide variety of needs from primarily living outside to dogs that have their own couches in the house! Having my own dogs I am used to taking multiple dogs on walks at once and extremely used to dogs that have a certain way of doing things and want to respect how everyones dogs are because I want people to respect my dogs quirkiness as well.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In your home I would abide by your homes guidelines for the pet. If you would like them to spend time outside I would ensure that they are spending their time outside depending on the weather if that is their preference. My dogs are personally couch potatoes and only go outside if I make them or they have an emergency. I have also watched dogs that I let them outside in the morning and do not let them back in until the evening when it is time to feed them.

We had a really great experience with Nicole! Our dog can be a little nervous with new people, but she was patient and made us (and our dog!) feel comfortable right away. She was on time, very communicative, and reliable. We really appreciated how well she took care of him and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog walker.

Nicole is a wonderful trustworthy person. Very kindhearted and caring. She stayed several nights and took very good care of ours pups. She stays in touch with photos and texts. She also goes beyond her duties offering to get your mail, packages and take out weekly trash can without being asked! We would definitely use her services again in the future! We highly recommend Nicole! Sincerely, Nancy and Dave

Nicole was great with Maya! She kept us updated with how Maya was doing and gave her her medicine at the right times and even watered our plants while we were away. This is the first time we had Nicole watch our dog and stay at our home and are going to book her again!

Nicole is an amazing pet owner, she goes above and beyond to make sure they are comfortable and happy if she is not home, & extra cared for and spoiled when she is. She sets daily alarms for meals/medications/treats. She loves taking dogs for a nice walk and coming home to a nice bowl of water & cleaning up after them to make sure to keep a cleanly space as well. She loves all animals and would be the best choice for your pet/pets.
