Life long doglover

I've had dogs pretty much my whole life. As an adult, I adopted a pit/Shephard mix when I was 19 and he was the best dog ever and helped raise my son. He lived to 16 and his last 6 months needed help getting up and had to take pills daily. Currently, I have a 9 year old lab/whippet mix named Henry and a 12 year old shephard/chow mix named Briggs. Henry has had 2 ACL surgeries. So, between my first dog, Rocky, and Henry, I'm very well rehearsed in giving pills and rehabbing dogs. Briggs is very nervous around people and anxious in general, so I'm well versed in making dogs comfortable and meeting them where they are at.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very trustworthy, reliable and calm around animals. I think dogs are pure joy and love to go for walks, play or cuddle, depending on what each dog needs/wants. I can guarantee when with me, your dog will get 100% of my attention and their needs will be met.

Nicole was so great with our dog! She set up a meet and greet prior which was great for them to meet and get used to each other. She’s very communicative and was flexible with our needs. I would definitely use her again!

Nicole is really awesome! She did a meet and greet with my dogs before she took them on there first walk. She also learned the exact walking route I normally take with them, which I really appreciated because it keeps their routine consistent. On top of that, she made sure they were fed and cared for after their walk. I was able to get her to walk my dogs on short notice. I highly recommend her. She’s reliable and thoughtful!

Nicole was able to let my dogs out with a last min notice and adjust the time that worked best. They were happy to have a friend to play with. Thank you!

Schedule

I am currently working full-time time as a dog walker. I have multiple weekly regulars, multiple for as long as 2 years, as well as many who do regular drop ins. I'm always excited to meet new dogs, whether it's for a drop-in, to be a vacation friend while the family is away, or to become a new regular visitor.
