Loves all types of animals!

Pet care experience

Hello, fellow animal lovers! I'm Nicole, a 5th grade teacher, and animals have been an integral part of my life since I can remember. From my earliest childhood memories to the present day, I've shared an unbreakable bond with these incredible creatures. With a heart full of love and a lifetime of experience, I'm here to provide top-notch care and attention for your furry companions. 🐶 A Lifelong Connection: Growing up with dogs instilled in me a deep appreciation for their unique personalities, unwavering loyalty, and boundless love. Over the years, I've had the privilege of caring for various breeds, from energetic pups to wise old souls, and each one has left an indelible mark on my heart. This lifelong connection has fueled my passion for ensuring that every dog receives the love, care, and companionship they deserve. 🌟 Tailored Care: Just like us, every dog has unique needs, preferences, and quirks. I understand that no two dogs are the same and pride myself on providing personalized care that caters to their individual requirements. From dietary considerations and exercise routines to specific medications or special needs, I ensure that your dog's well-being is always my top priority. 📷 Moments to Treasure: I know how much you miss your furry friend when you're away, which is why I make it a point to keep you connected. Through regular updates, including photos and videos, I'll capture those precious moments, from playful antics to serene nap times. You can rest assured that while you're apart, you'll still get to witness the joy and happiness radiating from your pup's face. 🐾 A Loving Partnership: I believe in fostering a strong partnership with you, the dog parent. Clear and open communication is key, and I encourage you to share any concerns, preferences, or specific instructions you may have. Together, we can create a seamless and enriching experience for your furry friend, ensuring their time with me is filled with love, fun, and a sense of belonging. 🌈 Beyond Dog Watching: Being a lifelong pet owner, I understand the challenges and joys that come with caring for our furry family members. I'm here to offer support, advice, and a friendly ear to listen whenever you need it. Whether it's recommendations for the best dog parks in town, training tips, or just sharing stories about our beloved pets, I'm dedicated to building a community of dog lovers who can lean on each other. 🐾 When you entrust your dog to me, you're not just hiring a dog watcher – you're inviting a true friend into your pup's life. With a lifetime of love, compassion, and firsthand experience, I'm committed to providing a nurturing and enjoyable experience for your furry friend. Together, we'll create lasting memories and ensure that your dog receives the utmost care and attention they deserve. Let's embark on this wonderful journey of canine companionship together! 🐾

Nicole took excellent care of our anxious little Chihuahua mix Alistair. She is a great communicator, responsible, flexible, and true pleasure to work with—we’ll absolutely look to book her again!

Nicole helped me out with some dog sitting when I came into town for a wedding. Her communication was great throughout the entire process. I was a little nervous about the whole process, but Nicole was amazing and exceeded My expectations. My shy, timid dog loved her and I was able to enjoy the wedding knowing she was in good hands. Thank you, Nicole!

A typical day

? Exploring Nature: I believe that spending time in nature is a great way to stimulate a dog's senses and provide them with a fun and enriching experience. I have a few favorite places where I love taking dogs for walks, such as local parks, nature trails, or dog-friendly beaches. These locations offer ample opportunities for your dog to explore new scents, sights, and sounds, while also enjoying some fresh air and exercise. ? Playtime Extravaganza: Playtime is an essential part of a dog's day, and I'm a firm believer in tailoring activities to match each dog's preferences and energy levels. Whether it's a game of fetch with their favorite ball, a stimulating puzzle toy, or a tug-of-war session, I'll provide a variety of interactive and engaging activities to keep your dog entertained and mentally stimulated. ? Backyard Adventures: If your dog has a secure and spacious backyard, we'll make the most of it! We can enjoy games of chase, hide-and-seek, or even set up an obstacle course for some extra excitement. Your dog will have the freedom to explore, sniff around, and indulge in their favorite activities while staying in the comfort of their own home.
