Availability

I work from home, self-employed, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do have regular health care appointments every week, which takes me away for an hour or so, and have at home visits twice a week, but none of that should interfere. I'm in two choirs, so I'm away Tuesday and Thursday evenings for a few hours. So I am at my house the majority of the time.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in the country in a trailer home (single size). I'm surrounded by woods but I have an ATV trail in front of my house and no fence. I would need a tether of some sort for dogs and have tethered and leash walked cats. I do have tethers and leashes for small dogs or cats. I don't use a kennel for my dog so I don't have any at my house, but am fine with using your dogs kennel in my house. I am able to separate my pets from your pets in my house, if there are any issues.

Information Nicole N. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know your pets personality and what to expect. I'm great with most animals, but I want your pet and mine, to be safe and happy most of all. I do this because I really love animals.

A typical day

I love spending time outdoors and have a large yard for play and also have a trail I can hike on. I make crafts to sell, so if I'm not outside enjoying nature, I'm inside crafting and love getting snuggles. My dog loves to play with other animals, so there's always another animal buddy here as well.

Pet care experience

I've cared for pets my whole life. As an adult I've cared for roommates pets, checked on pets for friends and family when they've been out of town, and I've fostered cats for friends and shelters. I've had interactions with a wide variety of dog breeds so I'm willing to work with any breeds and ages as long as they're ok with other animals. I've cared for a variety of cat breeds, also guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, and a wide variety of fish. I'm pretty open to caring for any type of pets. I live in the country with woods and a creek around my property, but I don't have a fence. My backyard is like a meadow with milkweed and wildflowers with paths, and the front is more open and clear for dogs to run and play. The way it's set up, the trees and bushes make a fence like perimeter and I have been able to let dogs roam off leesh when we're outside, but if you know your dog is a runner, they can be tied out easily. I do live along an ATV trail so there is a good amount of ATV traffic on weekends, in case you're dog is bothered by them. I take my dog for walks (I bike with her too) along the ATV trail and never have issues with drivers. I have a 5 year old female Rottweiler German Shepherd mix (spayed) and a Mama cat and her 4 kittens that are fosters through the local shelter. They all get along well together, but can be kept separate from your pets if need be. Mama Kitty does swat and hiss with new dogs if they're too close to her babies. Prior to my current pets I had a male Shi-tzu and "barn kitten" cat that started adventuring with me in their older years. They'd hike, camp, and kayak with me. I included some pictures of them as well as my Delta Rae Dawn with some of her doggy buddies and my current foster kittens and their Mama. For those that travel to this area, you can camp on my property any time of year, as long as you don't mind rustic camping. I have a Travco camper that has 2 bunks, hammock, and bench seat space for an inflatable mattress (provide your own). Just ask for more details.

Nicole is easy to communicate with and has a sweet dog named Delta to keep your Baby some company. Her very relaxed environment is perfect for pets. Nicole is excellent with oral medication and correct food dispersement. I will be reaching out to Nicole in the future!

Nicole was great with my girl! She took her on lots of walks, brushed her, and set me pictures and videos while I was away :)
