Lots of experience caring for pets

Pet care experience

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.

Nicole is very professional, great with dogs, and I always diligent with responding. She’s a great person to hire for dog walking or dog sitting. She handled our energetic Frenchie mix with grace and is An amazing resource in our life. Very thankful for your help with our little Hank.

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.

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special behaviours or needs that I should be aware of so that I can accommodate and provide the best care for them.

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!
