Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if your pets are not comfortable with cats (I have two) or any other behavior quirks I should be prepared for. I keep a calm and peaceful house that most dogs thrive in!

A typical day

I enjoy long walks exploring the neighborhood, running errands, visiting Georgetown or just hanging out on the couch together watching Netflix and painting together. Most Dogs will have free-range of the house and unlimited outside access via the doggie door!

Pet care experience

I have spent the majority of my life with dogs, and I have the most experience with German Shepherds and terriers. I feel at ease with both large and small dogs. I enjoy hiking and taking backcountry walks around Great Falls with my furry friends. Even though I'm not certified, I feel that I'm successful at obedience and am mindful of all the hand and verbal cues.

Nicole was awesome! She sent many updates with pictures during Levi's stay. He was able to run around her yard and enjoy himself. Levi came back healthy and happy.
