Pet care experience

Loving dogs since 1993.

Hi! I grew up around dogs, and have one of my own now (her name is Noodle)! Noodle loves to be around other dogs. I am very familiar with large-breed dogs (I had a lab growing up, and currently have a Great Pyrenees mix), but I love dogs of all sizes and ages. I am also familiar with cats! I've had 2 of my own. For 6 years, I have volunteered at animal shelters and pet-sat. I have been responsible for puppies as well as dogs in old age, kittens and cats, and even horses, goats, chickens, pigs, and alpacas. I love to go on walks, hike, and explore parks. I have personal experience with training. I am available for dog walks, house-sitting, and drop-in visits! I live in a duplex with a yard that is partly fenced and soon-to-be fully fenced.

Nicole is a great dog sitter! She is super responsive and was very flexible with my schedule. My dog loves playing with her dog Noodle and came home tired and happy.

We love having our dog stay with Nicole! He always comes home happy and tired from the awesome playtime with Noodle. Nicole is great at communicating and coordinating the stays. It is clear she loves dogs and treats them as well her own.

Nicole and Noodle were awesome! Brooklyn has a great time playing around with Noodle and loved cuddled time with Nicole at night. Nicole was great with pictures and updates and even with a funny encounter with our pup and a deer! We would use Nicole again, for sure!

Nicole does a fantastic job taking care of our puppy, Mabel. She always has a blast staying with Nicole and playing with Noodle, and always comes back we’ll exercised and happy!

Nicole was great! She took great care of my baby and kept me up to date with lots of pics! My baby had a blast and came home exhausted.

Safety, trust & environment

I take my own dog on 3-4 walks per day. We love exploring new neighborhoods and parks. She is a little over 9 years old and loves to walk with other dogs. She's also good around cats.

Pets

A typical day

Morning snuggles always. Then a walk and some breakkie. Another walk around lunchtime and some playtime in the afternoon. Dinner and then a nighttime walk! With cats, I make sure to provide intermittent enrichment throughout the day.
