Experienced dog and cat care

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a certified occupational therapist (OTR/L) and yoga, barre, and fitness instructor who loves anything furry, feathery, and even scaly! I previously lived in San Diego where I worked 3 years at an amazing business called Jules Royalty Pet Care, providing care for people's fur children. My husband and I live in an apartment that doesn't allow dogs (sad day), so to get my fur-baby fix, I walk, cuddle, and play with as many pups as I can, and have plenty of experience with all sizes and breeds! We do have a wonderful black silky kitty named Minca (aka the Minx) who we absolutely adore, so kitty visits are also my specialty! I have been surrounded by pets my entire life - cats, dogs, birds, ferrets, rats, fish, and even chickens! - and have an immense connection with and love for animals. With my past pet experience, I'm very familiar with administering oral medications, walking multiple dogs at a time, socializing events such as dog park visits, dog and cat behaviors/interactions/needs, and giving endless love to your fur baby. Animals are my happy time!

Nicole was/is such a life saver. She was on time, sweet, great energy, my Bull Dog immediately loved her. He has so enjoyed his walk time with her. I think it will be a sad adjustment this week without her. She also leaves the best little notes about their time together. Thanks Nicole!!!

She was a pleasure to deal with. Very professional and polite. Showed up when she said she would and did a great job.

Information Nicole P. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference - I love them all! Primarily, I would like to know if your dog gets along with other dogs and/or people (kids, males/females, etc.), medical issues, behaviors to note, any training you and your pup are working on, routines, etc.

A typical day

If your dog is active, I will walk, or go on a run with him/her, play with him/her in your home or backyard (tug-o-war is fun, or throwing the ball/toys, or getting their tails wagging and heart rate going in some way ;). I love, love, love cuddle time, so there is usually time spent just loving on them, and even more time spent giving love if they are older and/or not the active type. I always send a picture update with what we are doing and leave a journal entry for our adventures that day!
