Pet care experience

Love and care for all paws!

I am a Vet Tech Assistant with experience in emergency and general practice care. I have owned and cared for a variety of animals- from furry, to prickley, to scaley. I have had plenty of experience handling, caring, and walking large and small dogs, with big or small personalities! I am comfortable caring for dogs and cats with health concerns, reactivity, and ensuring your pet’s comfort and well-being. With experience training my own animals, I am happy to practice and implement whatever you may be working on with your fur baby!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

With experience in pet care and disability work, I have years of experience of providing in home care for loved ones. I understand the trust and respect that is needed to let someone in your home. I pride myself on being a trustworthy and caring person, and I am happy to meet beforehand to make sure we are a good fit. With my experience with a variety of different dogs, I am happy to keep our walks within your dog’s comfort level avoiding trigger, practicing their training, or taking them out to play fetch in a field. I am happy to keep to their routine and schedule. Caring for animals is a strong passion of mine, and I truly want to help enrich and brighten your pets life- whether by going out for a walk or coming in to fill their water bowl.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely fantastic! Reliable, communicative, and clearly a true dog lover. I felt completely at ease knowing my pup was in such caring and capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely trust with their dog!

Nicole has the most genuine love and compassion for animals of anyone I have ever met. My husky, Ady, is always excited to see her and I know she will be well taken care of. She treats every animal as if it were her own and goes above and beyond to ensure they are safe, happy, and well cared for. Her experience in the veterinary industry is an incredible asset. She is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to animal safety, health, and overall care. Nicole is caring, trustworthy, responsible, and attentive, and she brings the same level of pride and commitment to caring for your animals that she brings to her professional work. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their animals. You can feel confident knowing they are in capable and loving hands.

Not only has Nicole worked with animals professionally for years, she has also lived around and cared for animals in her personal life for the majority of her life. Animals are her world and she will always make sure they are cared for, regardless of their needs and mannerisms! Since meeting Nicole, I genuinely cannot trust anyone else to look after my fluffy pal (she's called Auntie Nicole now). If I kept listing all the wonderful traits she has, this would be a 10 page essay, honestly. Cannot thank her enough! ☺️

Schedule

I am a full-time student working towards my diploma in Veterinary Technology. With my studies being primarily online, I am able to have a flexible schedule to provide the care you are looking for throughout the week. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy being outdoors, and I would love to go on adventures and walks with your pet! My work and educational experience has allowed me to grow my skills to provide the best care I can to animals. My favourite place to be is one where there is an animal next to me and I am able to make their day better.
