Animal lover with rescue experience
Pet care experience
I grew up with animals my entire life. They all hold a special place in my heart. Dogs, in particular, are my world, and I am experienced in caring for all ages, personalities, and different abilities of dogs. I specifically have several years of experience in caring for senior dogs and dogs with special needs. Pets bring a lot of joy into people's lives, and I believe we can learn so much from them. With my passion for animals, I am continuing my education in animal-assisted therapy as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Reviews
Nicole is truly the fairy godmother of senior dogs. We feel so fortunate to have found her. She always goes over and beyond to accommodate to Koto and his old man doggy needs. We can't highly recommend her enough and would rate her 10 of 5!
Nicole is kind, friendly and Alfred loved her immediately. They had a great walk together. I am really grateful for Nicole being able to accommodate us at short notice too as it really helped me out.
I have the pleasure of working Nicole and seeing the genuine passion and care that she has for animals, dogs, and especially senior dogs. She has cared for special needs dogs and you can instantly tell that she puts the dog’s best interest, anxieties and needs first. Highly suggest using Nicole as a pet sitter, she is kind, organized and made us feel comfortable leaving our pup with her. 🐶
I have known Nicole in both professional and personal settings for over 10 years and she is such a deeply caring and compassionate person. Always one to look out for and advocate for the underdog! She goes the extra mile to communicate and connect in the most authentic way for humans and canines alike. There aren’t too many good hearts out there like hers!

If your dog is older and has unique needs, any information to help provide the best care for them would be greatly appreciated. If helpful, I can provide a dog stroller (holds up to 40lbs - 1 large dog or 2-3 smaller dogs), and a dog backpack for adventures in the neighborhood. I look forward to meeting you and your 4-legged friends!
Information Nicole J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs I can support while they are in my care. It is also helpful to know your dog's energy level and behavior with other animals and people so I can create the best and most positive experience for them while we are out on a walk.
A typical day
While your dog is in my care, I will make sure they are physically and mentally stimulated by playing games with them and exploring the different smells and parks in the neighborhood.

I work full-time during the week (Monday through Friday) but am available for neighborhood walks and drop-ins on the weekends. During drop-ins, I can provide lots of snuggles and playtime with your fur babe.
