Highlights
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.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was available for a last minute walk when I had to go out of town for work, and managed my anxious senior dog beautifully. Highly recommend!
Nicole was excellent with follow up, and walked and fed my dog. I really appreciate her
Nicole came into our lives at the perfect time and our puppy loves her
I feel so fortunate to have connected with Nicole to care for my pitty. After a successful first meeting, I knew he was in good hands. Nicole is kind, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. Thanks, Nicole! 🐾
Great communication and good with my pups.
Nicole was gracious to accept a last minute booking. She took very good care of my boy. He ate his dinner too fast and threw up. She immediately sent me a text message to notify me and cleaned it up. She was very reliable, attentative to Roc, and made sure my baby took all of his medicine. She was on time for all walks and left everything tidy and secure. Thank you for taking good care of my baby. I will definitely book Nicole in the future!

Schedule
Pet care is my entire life. When I'm not with my own dogs, I'm taking care of other people's dogs, whether sitting, walking, playing, or grooming.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsNicole 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.
