Pet care experience

Walks, Play, and Love for your pup!

I currently live with one fantastic German Shepherd that I adopted and have trained into the lovely lad he is today! Animal care- play sessions, training, mental stimulation, and cuddles are things I am passionate about. I'm very comfortable with high energy dogs and enjoy walking and running just as much as your lovely pup! Animals are very important to me, I stay away from harsh discipline and prefer to redirect dogs to positive behavior, though I am properly trained in the use of E-collars, slip leads, clickers, etc. Using treats and training methods are something I am comfortable with due to experience as a dog handler and with family pets. With calm care and persistence, your dog and I will become great buds and I can take that extra time people often don't have to make sure your pet stays healthy and in their best mindset! I have plenty of experience with larger dogs and puppies mannerisms and energy levels. All of this aside, I'm sure that you and your dog -no matter the size- will be happy with the results of hiring me! I greatly appreciate your consideration!

We love Nicole as our dog sitter. We have a 100 pound 6 year old flat coat retriever that absolutely loves when Nicole comes to take him out for a walk. Not only is she very sweet and happy to greet him she is strong enough to handle him when he gets excited to visit another dog along the way. She can be both stern when she needs to and gentle at the same time. Nicole and our dog Romey love to run so they make a great pair. I highly recommend Nicole as a responsible and fun and loving walker for any dog. If your looking for a kind loving friend to walk your pet, this is the girl.

Schedule

I recently moved to Iowa and have been loving exploring Muscatine! I have an open schedule at the moment. I like to be home to make dinner most nights as my husband is incredibly busy, but other than walking my own pup I have lots of time to be walking yours!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Nicole can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I have no specific breed preferences, however I'd like to know how your dog interacts with other animals, people and how you generally train them/reward them. I would be sad to miss-step and cause your dog discomfort, so information like this will ensure walks and pet sitting go smoothly!
