Pet care experience
I am a very active and outgoing person.I enjoy taking my four rescue dogs on a mile run together as a pack walk. I have been dog walking and providing pet care for 7 years in other people homes. I am learning how to become a groomer as well as learning daily how to better train a dog to walk and do basic commands.Once you own a dog you aren't just an owner but a trainer and a groomer. I love to exercise and walking and running dogs is just part of the fun.Not every aspect of dog care is fun but, they will be well cared for.I can administer medications. Sit with them, play around with them.Take them on walks or let them potty breaks.. I do this fulltime.From 11-1/2 I am doing walks for the local daily walkers Monday- Friday. If you sign a waiver and your dogs temperament matches I will bring them along for the pack walk but only if the are good at walking along side me. It takes time to train a dog to walk well and integrate them into a balanced pack. I have a fenced in yard.I typically start the day with a potty break.Then we do a pack walks, come back in doing dog breakfast then human breakfast.After that another potty break,playtime.From 11-1/2 is down time for the dogs while I am away doing walks(this is usually when I crate dog to them just relax and to keep them safe).The crate is the best place for them so that they aren't trying eat my couch or get into anything they shouldn't be in. Once I am back we will either do playtime or a walk.They settle I while I do dinner for the humans before dog dinner time.Afzer human and dog dinner we do playtime/ training with my own pack but if you want it we will work them in.Dogs usually enjoy the work since its all play. The back yard is fenced in and before each time we go out we check fence line.
Reviews
Nicole always does a great job when watching our pets. We would recommend her to anyone!
Nicole is an excellent sitter. Chloe loves her. She is punctual and quite knowledgeable. Chloe was having issues and Nicole made several suggestions. It became necessary to take Chloe to vet. In addition to a script, he made the same suggestions that Nicole had.
Nicole was amazing, she checked in daily and made sure my kids were taken care of, highly recommend as she managed to get tipper who is strong willed to let her pet her by the end of the weekend lol. Will definitely reach out to her in the future when I need someone to watch my fur kids
Nichole did a great job with our dog, Zig! We got daily pictures and thorough updates.
