Animal lover, Flexible Schedule!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with a lot of pets! I have been taking care of them since I was 8. I have take care of my own pets and neighbors pets including dogs, fish, cats and hamsters! My passion for animals took me to the route of doing dog rescue more than 15 years ago. I have found houses for the doggies and follow up with the new owners to make sure they were happy and well taken care off. I have experience with Senior dogs I have personally had two "senior" dogs. I love to learn about different breeds and how to care better for them to make sure they have the best experience possible. I also like to send pictures daily and give updates on how your dog is adjusting to our family.

Nicole is a warm, kind and knowledgeable person when it comes to dogs. She and her family welcomed our two dogs into their family and gave them lots of attention, walks and play time. She spent approximately 45 minutes with me at drop off going over all the details of feeding, medications, sleeping and exercise preferences and just getting to know my dogs. She sent daily pictures with updates during our trip. My dogs were clearly happy there and felt at home!

Nicole took care of our little dog for a week. She did a fantastic job. We got daily updates and photos about how Luna was adapting and what she was up to, including regular walks. She got along great with the family dog. I highly recommend Nicole!

Information Nicole F. would like to know about your pet

Its important for me to meet and greet your dog before I will accept your first reservation to ensure your dog(s) get along with my dog and my children. For me will be emergency contacts, such as your veterinarian, vaccine records, health concerns about your dog. Also for me is important to know their daily routines because dogs love routines. It’s important to know the time they eat, when they have their walks,etc. Also if they have special needs or anxiety or if they don’t like kids or other dogs for example is important because I have kids and one senior dog. Also is important to know if they have any aggressive tendencies.

A typical day

I love dogs ! I enjoy playing with them with their favorite toys, throwing tennis balls, etc. I love to make them comfortable giving them attention and understanding their needs in order to try to-help them with the anxiety of being in a new environment without their owners.We will walk through the neighborhood and the park close to our house so they can explore new smells and get used to the new place to start having more fun !! I like to cuddle with them so they feel more comfortable.
