About Nicole H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take safety seriously and pay attention to the details that help visits go smoothly, including routines, gates, leash handling, medication instructions, mobility needs, and changes in mood or energy. I am respectful of your home, careful with your dog, and communicative throughout the visit. You can expect reliability, good judgment, and updates that are actually useful. 🐶🐾

Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet
⚜️ Routine, Personality & Comfort: Please share anything that will help me care for your dog well, including schedule, feeding, medications, bathroom routine, energy level, sensitivities, favorite activities, and anything else that tends to make things easier or harder for them. You are also welcome to include any quirks, fears, or triggers that may be useful for me to know. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can keep the visit smooth, comfortable, and tailored to your dog. ⚕️ Medical Conditions or Special Needs: If your dog has any medical conditions, allergies, dietary restrictions, routine medication, or requires specialized care please provide detailed information. This ensures that I can properly accommodate their needs, administer any necessary medications or treatments, and maintain their health and comfort during our time together.
A typical day
For walks, I focus on giving dogs real exercise, plenty of scent stimulation, and a good experience out in the world. For drop-ins, I make sure they get what they need in the moment, whether that is a potty break, movement, food, water, medication, play, company, or just a calm check-in. I try to keep things straightforward, low-stress, and tailored to the individual dog rather than forcing every dog into the same routine. I offer very limited nearby house sitting on a case-by-case basis for the right fit.

Pet care experience
Passionate Canine Expert with over 2 Decades of Impactful Experience 🌟 🔆 Hi there, I’m Nicole! I have worked with dogs since 2005, and after more than two decades in dog care, I know how much it matters to have someone dependable, observant, and genuinely comfortable handling a wide range of dogs. Right now I am mainly focused on dog walking, drop-in visits, and limited nearby house sitting. I love getting dogs out, helping them feel settled, and building trust over time with both the dog and the owner. I also offer training support through Rover for clients who want a little more guidance. My goal is always for your dog to feel comfortable with me and for you to feel that your pet is in very capable hands.
Reviews

My dog Glen enjoyed his time with Nicole. Her communication was great and she sent us the cutest pictures! She was very professional and we will definitely book with her again!

Seriously amazing! Nicole saved me when my walker had to cancel last minute & I was due to be going out for the night. Darcy was immediately comfortable with Nicole, who knew exactly what to do with my nutty cattle dog. Darcy is so happy & calm after the little jaunt. Thanks again & we'll be back again soon!

Nicole provided the perfect day stay experience for Luca. I received a photo with updates which was great. Drop off and pickup were piece of cake. Will definitely be back.

Nicole went above and beyond for us and she was willing to hear us out and help us with the problems and questions we had regarding traini ng our dog. She is dedicated and passionate about dogs and extremely knowledgeable. Our puppy came back exhausted and satisfied from the play sessions she had with the other dogs under Nicole's care. Nicole was communicative and responsive and provided frequent updates and videos. I would highly recommend Nicole for anyone looking for someone who is passionate about dogs that you can trust to provide the utmost best care for your furry friend.
