I’ll treat your furbaby as my own

Pet care experience

I am an Arizona native and have a flexible schedule. I have been grooming dogs and caring for them the last 13 years. I have worked for multiple companies including Petsmart and Petco along with smaller salons in the valley and have gained extensive knowledge of how to care for these adorable fur babies. I also worked for a doggy day care facility and am certified in cpr and dog safety. I have always had a love for animals, specifically dogs, and knew I wanted to work with them since I was little. I have learned a lot from my experiences in the different shops I’ve worked for throughout the years including how to handle them safely, basic training and knowledge of the various products sold for them. I also adopted an adorable 8 lb morkie named Bellini that I have fully trained and certified as a service dog. She is my little fur child and I treat every dog as I do my own, with love and care. I also offer grooming services.

This was our first Rover transaction & we hit the jackpot with Nicole! Our elderly, special-needs dog stayed at Nicole's dg-friendly house, and we'll send him back the next time we travel. He doesn't hear or see very well anymore, so it took him a minute to notice that I arrived to pick him up. In that time, I saw that he was perfectly happy at Nicole's & just chillin', which was really nice. And Nicole gave him the best bath ever! He's had professional baths before, but they never turned out like this, I think she spent a lot of time on him with the brush & the blow dryer, and his fur looked and felt better than I've ever seen. I briefly felt guilty for not hooking him up with an excellent bath like that before, but I don't think any other groomer was really offering that kind of time-consuming service. Her place has a great back yard, an excellent park across the street, and a gracious dog host name Bellini. You should book with Nicole if she's available!

Nicole stayed at our house to watch two dogs for a week. The dogs were happy and we were satisfied. She bathed them just before our return, so they looked and smelled amazing too. We were really happy we had Nicole take care of everything. We will be using her again in the future.

I love having Nicole come by and take care of my pups. She’s basically become part of the family. Every time I go out of town and need a sitter or even just have a long day at work and need a walker, I can count on her! Her dog has become friends with my two dogs and they get to run around and play. As a former pet groomer, Nicole is very experienced and knows how to make my dogs feel at ease when she’s around. As a friend, she will also go out of her way to groom my dogs while she is pet-sitting for me. If her experience and expertise aren’t enough, Nicole is always super positive with me and my fur-babies. I know that any contact made will always be a pleasant one and she is more than flexible when it comes to her availability.

Nicole was great with our puppy, Luna, who can be a handful. Nicole’s dog helped Luna with her social skills. She sent us pics and check in texts which was much appreciated.
