the DogMother

Pet care experience

Hello friends! I was the Director of Community Outreach for medical clinics in LA and decided I needed to leave to enjoy life for a bit. I graduated from nursing school and went back for a degree in Communication Studies. I love caring for people and even more so, love caring for animals. Friends and family have always asked why I did not choose Veterinary school over nursing, and I always tell them...I would simply not be able to handle the "goodbyes" that come with that career. I have always had pets. My family cares for our pets as if they are family members...maybe even better than some families care for each other (haha). I do believe that "dog is man's best friend" and I definitely agree that animals provide the best therapy. This being said, I think it is most important to take care of our pets. They need love, comfort, shelter, exercise, fun-time, and times of undivided attention. I would love to meet with you and your pet! I can assure you your loved ones would be in great, loving care when you agree to have me care for them. I look forward to meeting you!

Nicole is great with dust. He is very comfortable with her. It’s clear he’s well taken care of. My flight was cancelled and ended up 8 hours later than expected and Nicole altered her plans to make sure dust was cared for.

Nicole was terrific watching Butters. We felt good knowing that he was in good hands. Nicole sent photos and videos throughout the time and kept us in the loop on his activity level and eating. Looking forward to more stays with Nicole

Just have to start out by saying that Nicole was absolutely amazing with my boy!! This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog anywhere overnight and I was so nervous because he can be a bit to handle. Nicole did wonderful with him and as soon as I met her I know my boy would be in great care! She did a great job sending me pictures and videos which I appreciated so much!! She takes the time to acknowledge the special needs of your dog. Nicole is fabulous!!!
