Ready to play w/ your best friend!

Pet care experience

I am opening my services again! My name is Nicole, and my husband Tadashi love dogs! We have a pup of our own, a westie named Daisy. She is a very social dog, and we would love for her to have friends while we do dog walking or check ins! I love my Westie and feel other dogs should be as spoiled as she is. When I first got her, I took her to training classes to learn basic tricks. I love to learn new tricks myself each and everyday and might share those with your dog if you wish. I understand how busy one schedule can get to need help of a pet sitter. I have experience working in dog boarding and daycare locations, and I have also volunteered in the past in an animal shelter. I have experience cleaning up and playing with a variety of dogs. I am ready to give your dog the love and attention they need when you need me to. Nicole- Grew up in a family with dogs for well over 20 years now. Working full time but uses any spare time to play with dogs. Raised Bella since she was a puppy, and now raising another puppy Daisy. Very comfortable with other animals as well, taken care of cats and even chickens at one point. Tadashi- Been with Nicole for 8 years. Has had experience living with Bella as she was older and has now has more experience raising Daisy as a puppy. Daisy- Our current furbaby. She is wild, hyper, and we love her to pieces. Currently trying to teach her how to communicate with us via push buttons! She also plays with her cousin Iris. Iris- a 3 year corgi. Lives on the same property but is my sister's corgi. Her and Daisy get along very well! Iris loves to chase and herd others. Bella - Our previous furbaby who has walked the rainbow bridge.. She was 9 years old, was generally calm and just enjoyed being in any one's company.

Nicole and her partner were amazing! Great communicators and took such amazing care of my pup when I was away. She gave lots of updates and shared the sweetest pictures with me. Would absolutely recommend giving her a try for your pet sitting needs!

Nicole was really great to connect with from start to finish. She was communicative and provided updates and pictures daily. She made Sunny very comfortable starting at dropoff and respected his food and behavior needs. Great experience!

Alby loves staying with Nicole and Iris, and we’d recommend them to anyone looking for a great sitter! She was great about sending pictures and videos so I knew alby was having a great and fulfilling stay.

Nicole is an awesome dog sitter! We boarded our dog Charlie with her for 12 days, which is the longest time he has been away from us. We did a meet and greet ahead of time to get to know each other and to see how Charlie and Iris interacted. I think he felt right at home with Nicole and his new best dog friend Iris! Nicole sent frequent updates and photos of Charlie having a great time! Lots of walks, outdoor time and cuddle time. She bathed him, and even clipped Charlie's nails during his stay. Charlie came home happy and relaxed. I highly recommend Nicole and Charlie will be a repeat client!!

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog is social with other dogs and people. I would like to be prepared and be cautious if necessary if seeing other dogs being walked as well. Knowing if they do well with other dogs helps me to let my dog join in on the fun too!

A typical day

I would locate the nearest dog park if possible. The more a dog can run freely the better I say! It also gives me a chance to learn how a dog will interact with others. If that's a no go for your dog, still going on a stroll in a regular park to smell the good outdoors then that works too.

For now I am part time working 5 hour days in some cases. For the most part I am at home. I would love to care for other dogs in my home (cats too if needed). My dog Daisy is a westie who is very social and loves both dogs and cats! I will always offer a meet and greet to make sure we all have a good match with each other.
