I live by the moto “protecting pups, one paw at a time”. I understand that these animals are family and I strive to ensure their safety and proper care.

Let me know if your pet has any behavior issues, like pulling while walking or food aggressive. Let me know what breed they are as well so I can accommodate to their needs.

Reliable Care for Your Pup!

Pet care experience

I’ve had and taken care of dogs longer than I can remember, with my childhood dog being a black lab named Rosebud. I’ve dealt with dogs ranging in all shapes and sizes. With the smallest being a Pomeranian and the biggest being a Saint Bernard. I’ve worked with energetic and lazy dogs, understanding the different care needs they might have. I have the basic knowledge on grooming and bathing. I’ve also worked with litter puppies and training puppies. I also understand the care and needs senior dogs may need as well.

Nicole has always shared the safety, care and wellbeing of my pets. She always made sure to meet their accommodations and needs. One of my pets has a sensitive stomach and she made sure to give it the best care. She always ensured the litter box was clean and sanitary for my pets as well. She truly shows how passionate and caring she is for every animal in every visit. SM
