PuppyRaiser for GuideDog Foundation
Pet care experience
My name is Nicole, and I was previously a volunteer puppy raiser for the Guide Dog Foundation. I work from home so have plenty of time to give your fur babies! I was with GDF for over 3 years and I’ve helped with the raising and training of puppies as young as 8 weeks old, that go on to become guide and service dogs. I’ve raised two puppies of my own, both ended up becoming a pet instead due to health concerns, but are amazing nonetheless! I have tons of experience with dogs and puppies of all shapes and sizes, and I simply have a passion for dogs! I have two dogs, Molly and Davis. Molly, who is a Chihuahua-Yorkie mix and loves to watch tv and sun bathe in her free time. She’s good with other dogs and loves to do anything I’m doing. Davis is happy guide dog dropout and is living a luxurious pet life. He loves everyone and everything, especially other dogs and his tennis ball. We also have an energetic young cat named Geordi who is good with cats and dogs! Feel free to ask me any questions!

Nicole is AWESOME Highly recommended
Nicole is great! She took great care of my cats while on vacation. Gave great updates! I will definitely rebook if I go out of town! Thanks!
Nicole was punctual and ensured that our pets were well taken care of and got their lunch time snack. Highly recommend Nicole for your pets needs and plan on using her again soon. Well done Nicole, well done and thanks

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority! Especially when it comes to animals interacting with each other. If there’s any body language or signs indicating something bad could happen, animals are separated and their safety is ensured. I do not allow dogs to run off leash unless the area we’re in is fully fenced in. I also have basic dog first aid experience and can administer oral and topical medications as necessary. My yard is fenced, but we do not allow dogs outside without some kind of supervision. If your dog is an escape artist, please let me know.

Information Nicole L. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds and sizes of dog. Before taking care of your dog, I'd love to know all of their quirks, their favorite things, and of course any feeding/potty habits. I have experience with baby puppies and adult to senior aged dogs. If your dog has special needs or even just preferences, just let me know and I'll do anything I can do make your dog and you as comfortable as possible.
A typical day
We have lots of toys to play with! We can go on walks around the neighborhood, a hike, or, if you want, my husband (also a GDF puppy raiser) may be able to even go running with your dog if they enjoy it! If you want training tips or would like me to try and teach your dog some basic obedience during our time I would be happy to do so, just let me know!

Availability
I work 9-5:30 from home, and take breaks every couple of hours. So that’s usually when it’s time for a potty break for the pups as well.
