Pet care experience

Lots of experience caring for pets

I have taken care of pets for over 12 years and I understand the level of trust required to find the perfect sitter. I have lots of experience supporting dogs who struggle with leash reactivity, always using positive reinforcement and respecting their specific needs set out by each owner. I now have a Border Collie/Shepard pup and I understand the level of enrichment, love, and exercise needed to ensure a happy and healthy dog. If you choose to book with me, you will be assured your pet is in the best hands, with regular updates/pictures and videos.

If you are looking for a caring individual to take care of your pet, Nicole is your person. She cared for my dog when I was away on holidays and was so gentle and caring towards him. He received so much exercise and Nicole always checked in with me during the days I was away. I left some notes regarding his care and schedule and she followed them perfectly. Nicole is a very reputable and honest person, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.

Nicole is absolutely wonderful. She is responsible, kind and hard working. She has always done a great job caring for my dog when I’ve been away on trips, and I know I can always count on her. Her schedule is always very flexible and she’s always to happy to help out in any way. I know I can always feel at ease when Nicole is caring for my dog, knowing it’s in the best possible care. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy and responsible dog caregiver.

I am currently available for dog walking, boarding, or drop-in visits from Friday to Sunday. I also have a Border Collie named Finn that would love to have a buddy, so I would also be willing to socialize the two if that is what you would like, however not required.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day for me would look like walking Morrell Sanctuary, or through the trails at Linley Valley. During our walks together, I would use various commands, and treats (only with your permission) for ultimate mental stimulation. I also have a fenced back yard if you are in need of boarding, or daycare where your dog can get a fun ball throw!
