Pet care experience

Groomer, Kennel Manager, Dog Walker

I got my first dog 18 years ago and my love of pet care was immediate. I started sitting for and walking dogs in my neighborhood within that year. By 20, as soon as I had my own place, I started rescuing dogs, adopting three in as many years as well as hosting several shorter term foster dogs. Since then, I ran a local kennel as everything from assistant managing to cleaning, feeding, walking, daycare to grooming, which set me on my current path to becoming a groomer. (I also offer in home grooming which we can discuss during booking, if you are interested.) I work very well with reactive dogs as well; my youngest dog is highy reactive, and in the kennel my specialty is working with the more challenging dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I don't currently offer any services within my own home as I do have a reactive dog of my own, however I'm happy to come to you. When in my care, I love and respect and care for any pet as if they were one of mine.

Amazing help when we needed a dog walker on short notice - our dog loved her, and she was extremely punctual and reliable. Will definitely use her again in the future!!

Nicole was kind and professional. She handled some unexpected problems very well, communicating in a timely way and going above and beyond the essentials. Will definitely use her again.

I have booked with Nicole a few times now for walks and more recently a drop in visit. She always replies in a timely manner and is very flexible with my schedule. She leaves very thorough reviews of my dogs and how they acted and clearly cares very much for them. She was able to take care of my dog after he hurt his back and give him his medications while I was gone! She does a great job at every visit! Will continue to book with her.

Nicole can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
If your dog has any aggressive tendencies or is highly reactivate in certain situations, please let me know, that is by no means a disqualifier; in fact, those personalities are my specialty. I just need to know qnd plan for what steps I can take to ease those situations. Any other special circumstances (such as medicines, grooming requests, etc) must be discussed prior to booking as well. Grooming price listed is a "starting at" price, size and extent of grooming may incur additional charges although I can be fairly flexible on that front.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
