Pet care experience

Love all pets!

I absolutely love working with animals and I am also a licensed veterinary technician so I'm able to administer medications and injections. Also able to give baths and cut nails for visits. I have been working in the animal industry for about 8 years. I have experience with all different kinds of animals and feel very comfortable with any species. I enjoy walks and hiking with the dogs. I also enjoy the company of cats so I am willing to take care of cats as well. I have alot of knowledge of animal behavior. I am available to walks, stopping in or boarding or house sitting. I feel comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I like to do a meet and greet prior to all opportunities that way the pets feel comfortable and know me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Nicole was awesome. She has a very positive upbeat energy about her.. She came to my house to meet my dog Sadie before my booking started, and I immediately got a good vibe from her - and so did my dog. I felt reassured leaving Sadie with her knowing she is a vet tech. I will definitely be booking my dog’s care with her again.

Nicole was a lifesaver! After getting over booked at a kennel during Cooperstown Baseball season, she came to my rescue. Great communication, flexible, easy to work with, updated me with pictures and she even trimmed my puppy nails. Highly recommend her.

This is Tucker's second time with Nicole and her family. Nicole is very responsive and caring. Tucker seems to have a great time and might be spoiled with her even more than with me. Nicole please tell your girls that Tucker will see them soon.
