Zookeeper Turned Dog Walker
Pet care experience
Animal care has been my passion and career since I was 16. Starting in pet boarding facilities and eventually acquiring my degree in zoology, I’ve had many amazing experiences along the way. While the last five years have specialized in giraffe and, more recently, lions and bears, dogs have always held a special spot in my heart and I’d love to be a happy part of your pup’s day!
Reviews
Thank you so much! You were fantastic!
Nicole did a great job with my 2 dogs, and they adore her. Clear communication, which is important.
Nicole is awesome! She was great with our big puppy who is generally a little nervous but Nicole made her feel comfortable. She was always on time and very sweet with the other human members of our family! Would definitely hire her again and would highly recommend!
Great job, I would recommend to anyone. Nice person with great attitude. I will definitely use again.
About Nicole T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As my background involves zookeeping, I believe in giving all animals an enriching and stimulating environment. This all stems back to reading an animal’s behavior. Every animal is different and prefers different things. I like to get to know personalities and accommodate as needed. 😊
Information Nicole T. would like to know about your pet
I like to be informed of medical issues, ‘triggers’ that will cause the dog to react, and dogs’ interests and simple pleasures that will allow us to have the best interaction possible!
A typical day
It depends on the dog! I like to see the temperament and interests of the dog and respond accordingly. If your dog prefers shorter walks and more play time we will do that. If your dog loves long walks and getting all the smells in, then that’s what we will do!

Availability
I am available throughout the week with some availability on weekends if needed. Hours may vary as I have a toddler at home and my schedule continues to change. Please book at least a couple of days in advance, as my weekend availability can only be scheduled a few days in advance.
