I'm the adopted "Favorite Aunty"
Pet care experience
I have grown up, been around and lived with animals my entire life and I absolutely love them! I don't see animals as pets, I view them as extensions of ourselves and that's why both animals and owners love me. I provide honest, safe, reliable and soothing care whenever plans, emergencies, and day to day activities prevent owners from doing so themselves. I enjoy being active so your fur baby will always feel fulfilled physically and mentally with fun and safe activities. I have experience caring for animals that have gone through surgery, have physical limitaions, diet restrictions, and allergies. I understand the importance of sticking to a routine, cleaning wounds, administering medications, etc. I always amaze owners by how quickly animals warm up to me and I take great pride in this innate talent of mine. I wouldn't consider myself to be a trainer but I do know a thing or two which is helpful when it comes to puppies and kittens. I also have reliable transportation and I'm always open to giving baths or taking pets to appointments. Thank you for reading my post and I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend/(s)! =D
Reviews
Both of my dogs were very well cared for by Nicole while I was away.
After our regular dog walker let us know she could no longer walk our dogs, we were super nervous to have to find someone new. We happened across Nicole’s profile and asked if she was willing to come for an interview. I forewarned her the one of my dogs has a hard time adjusting to new people and she was great about it. From the moment she stepped in my home, I could tell she was experienced with dogs as she ignored them until they were calm and allowed our Ollie and Gracie to approach her. Ollie - the one not good with strangers - has taken to her very quickly. She has been really great thus far and I look forward to continuing to use her as our regular walker!
Nicole is wonderful with pets of all shapes and sizes. She had my friends German Shepherd puppy following her everywhere within a half hour. I’ve never seen a dog fall in love with someone so fast! She is patient with high energy dogs and puppies, and is always happy to spend time outdoors playing with them. She has watched my house and pets on several occasions and I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

Safety, trust & environment
When I home sit or walk animals I make sure to understand and obide by the rules set by the owner/(s) to ensure all animals remain safe and happy.
Information Nicole G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your animal has a bite history, any history of aggression or fearfulness (with humans or other animals), allergies, medical issues, or safety concerns (such as door darting or collar slipping). If there is anything else you would like to share with me about your animal I'd love to hear about it! I.e. is your animal afraid of thunder?
A typical day
I typically like to go on jogs or play fetch with dogs but I always keep in mind the capabilities of the dog/(s) and gain a clear understanding as to what their owners would like me to do with them or what their dogs can or can't do. With cats I like to get their favorite toys and play with them for as long as they remain interested.

Nicole can watch in your home
Availability
I work full time but my schedule is stable in regards to days I work and when I start and get off work. I do travel for work and keep my availability radius focused on a half way point between the different sites I travel. I'd love to talk about this in more depth with you so please feel free to ask me any questions you may have.
