Your best friend is my priority!

Pet care experience

I absolutely adore dogs. Growing up, I have had two Black Labs, two Pomeranians, and one American Eskimo miniature. I have had dogs in my life since I was born, and truly care for them. I would love to be able to offer my services to help make your life and your dogs life easier. I welcome all breeds. I have previously worked for a dog walking company and enjoyed every moment of it. I have worked with dogs who have special needs; such as nervousness or aggressive behaviors. I welcome working with dogs who have any special needs or requirements. I would love to connect with you and your best friend. I hope to help make your life easier by providing my services at your convenience.

I had the pleasure of working with Nicole for 3 months over the summer whilst she took care of a particularly challenging older dog. I can't praise Nicole enough not only for her handling skills, but the care & dedication that she gave to Tezza throughout. Tezza (at times) can be unpredictable & as a larger breed, can be over-powering, however Nicole handled her with a firmness & confidence that the dog needed & responded well to. She was always on time, and was both willing & able to adapt to an ever changing schedule, especially at the last minute! Nicole has a general warmth & loveliness surrounding her that dogs respond well to. You can rest assured that if she is looking after your dog, they will be the most loved, snuggled & well looked after.

Nicole has taken such great care of my family's dog, Mac. He's a border collie with a LOT of energy and she handled him well. She knew to hold him by her side and make him sit when cars went by. She was very easy to communicate with and you can tell she's a bright, intelligent, and charismatic young woman. Would have her care for him again!

Nicole is the best! She was my walker for 10 weeks during the summer and was never late and always made me feel confident. My Aussie is a difficult and aggressive 50 lb girl that requires constant restraint in crowds. Nicole is mature and calm, always in charge. She is also friendly and smiling, always willing to respond if there is a last minute call for help. I would love to have her year-around!

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

Any breed is welcome; I would like to know any special quirks of the dog, such as medication, allergies, triggers to being frightened or nervous.

A typical day

Since I live about a 15 minute walk from Lake Michigan, we could walk there and back and your pup would have plenty of time to sniff and see the sights. If allowed, I love taking dogs to a dog park as well. We will play with toys together and snack on some treats.
