My love for dogs is furreal!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of both small and large breeds in both my home and at theirs. I have cared for pit bulls and I have no problem with the breed. I also have experience with elderly dogs and know they need special attention. I love to take long walks in a park environment or on the streets of a neighborhood. Giving belly rubs and playing fetch are some more of my faves. I previously owned a miniature schnauzer who has passed away. I recently got Golden Doodle puppy and her name is Carrot. If you like, we can do play dates or I can spend solo time with your fur baby/babies. I have just moved to Tampa and I’m close to several dog parks. I am close to Deputy Kotfila Dog Park and Queenie’s Dog Park. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies!

Nicole is a life saver. I am a busy professional and want the best care for my puppy. My work requires travel and often requires work late at night or early morning. I no longer worry, knowing that my pup is getting the best care from Nicole. Not only does a he play with my pup, walk and feed her, but she cleans her feet off and takes extra precautions to ensure that my home is still neat and tidy on my return. Nicole has my highest recommendation for her excellent care and attention to detail.

Nicole is awesome with my dogs! (I have a husky, a lab mix and a chihuahua) She is willing to stay in home with them and they adore her. Nicole has also watched my chihuahua at her place. She’s very gentle , due to having her own and treats them like family. I trust her with my fur babies 100 percent! She’s a very responsible individual and I recommend her highly.

I have a huge fenced backyard. I live in quiet and small neighborhood near Ybor City. I have close access to multiple dog parks nearby. My boyfriend who lives with me loves dogs and has experience with elderly pets. He would show lots of love to your pet when he is home. We would do daily walks because we all need exercise. If you prefer your dog to be crated, we can have you bring their crate to accommodate him/her. I have a 12 week Golden Doodle. She is very sweet and can be a good playmate for your dog.

Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your fur baby’s current level of activity. Knowing this is important so not to overly strain a dog that is not used to a lot of walking. What are their favorite things to do? Ex. Walk, play fetch, etc. What kind of temperament does your dog have? Every dog is different and that’s why we meet and greet first. Does your dog get a long with other dogs? I like to go to the dog park sometimes. Maybe you would like for me to take your dog there. Can your dog have treats and what is permissible? Does your dog have any special instructions? Ex. Certain command words, meds he/she needs, etc.

A typical day

Dog parks are always fun so if they are fun for your dog, let me know. Walks on the river walk are always great too! If you have a park near you that your fur baby loves to play or walk at, let me know. I also have a huge fenced in backyard to play fetch because this is fun and great exercise.
