LIVING MY BEST LIFE WITH MY ANIMALS

Pet care experience

Hi ya’ll! Thanks for clicking on my profile! My names Nicole Meaney and I have loved animals since before I could talk. Growing up I’ve had cats, fish, sugar gliders, lizards, dogs, birds, you name it! I have a dog named Bella, and another dog named Dakota. I have two cats also. I have dog sat since I was about 14 year olds from time to time. More so within the last few years. I am patient, kind, and I honestly have the biggest heart when it comes to animals. I’d rather spend my Friday nights on the couch watching house hunters with my dogs then be out on the town. My animals are my family, and you can expect that I will treat yours as my own! I work part time right now! My schedule is extremely flexible, and my breaks are also flexible so I am able to work around your animals too. I also am in school full time, but the only days and times I am not available are Tuesdays from 2-10pm, Wednesday 2-6, and Thursday’s from 2-10pm, but I am able to help out/ care for your animals those days until i have to go to school! My house is about 1,200 square feet, so preferably if you have a very large dog I would be more comfortable at their own home environment just because I want to make sure they have the amount of room the need. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I do have a large yard with a lead for the dogs. We have plenty of toys, and activities we like to do with our dogs such as walks around our quiet neighborhood, or go down to the park (Parker Farms School) within walking distance from our home. We also have a pool, and a sprinkler we set up for the pups. If your dog is okay with car rides, we go on lots! I love to drive my dogs by Lyman Orchards to let them smell, enjoy the nice ride! We also usually end every ride with some doggy ice cream from either dairy queen or sonic! Yum! but of course if your dog has any dietary restrictions we will gladly follow them! I will always be trustworthy, accommodating, and reliable. I stride for pet owners & their pets to feel like they have gotten the best care for their pets and for the pets to have a safe environment and to have a great time! Some things I like to do while caring for your dog: 1. text you updates/photos/videos of your pup! - I love to send quick updates or photos of the pups throughout the day to show you what they’re up to! 2. I will have a sheet organized at the end of every visit with our schedule for the day. - I love to do this! I like to write down what time they’ve been fed, walked, taken out to the bathroom/ or any fun activities we do through the day such as (hiking, swimming, car rides, ice cream).

Nicole is excellent with dogs! She is like a dog whisperer. I couldn't recommend her any more highly. She is so responsible and reliable.

Nicole took extremely good care of Truth while I was away for the weekend. I recommend her to anyone in the area looking for pet care.

Information Nicole M. would like to know about your pet

1. What’s his energy level? is he super active at home, or more laid back? 2. What does a typical day look like for you guys as a family? - I like to stick to a dogs schedule if they have one, i feel like it works best and keeps them on the same schedule for you at home. 3. How does your dog get along with other dogs? - this is big for me. I have two dogs of my own and I want to make sure that all dogs in my care are safe, and happy. That also includes my own, I would not be able to bring in any dog that would not get along with my own, it just wouldn’t be safe. 4. Any fears? is your dog afraid of pools, cars, loud noises, household items? - i know that my dogs have some, and i would want to make your animal as comfortable as possible!

A typical day

We love walks! I also enjoy sitting outside and reading with my dogs, i have a lead for the dogs and a deck that I can fence in so they are able to lay up there outside. My dogs and I enjoy car rides, ice cream dates, hikes, and spontaneous beach adventures. I believe in living life to my fullest, with my best friends by my side (my dogs).
