Availability

I have clients online that I meet virtually with for psychotherapy services. These services range in time throughout the day but are an hour long and often leave hours in between sessions, available for me to do other things. I recently lost my dog to cancer and miss the time that I got to spend with her outside, on walks and at home. I would like to spend my spare time between clients, with my pets and hopefully yours, to share the love that I have for animals.

Information Nicole V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the demeanor of your pet and if they prefer to play or not. I feel like it can be silly to ask but some animals simply prefer to have the gentle love when someone other than their owner is present, and others want to take advantage of a new friend and play. I do not want to make any animal feel uncomfortable in their own space and knowing their personality and their needs beforehand, would be highly beneficial in how I care for and interact with them.

A typical day

I love to spend time with pets. I think that when I go over someone's house, pets are the best part of being there. They are bundles of joy and have such different personalities, so if they are more chill or older, I would make sure to relax with them and give them love, whereas more active and playful dogs will get plenty of physical attention with playing and messing around.

Pet care experience

Hi! I am an extremely happy person and would love to help with your pet needs. I love dogs and have had dogs of all types my entire life from Pomeranians to Blue Nose Pits. They make me so happy and I love to give back and make them feel super happy and loved. I am the kind of person who waves at dogs when they are in a store or in the car next to me, they bring me pure joy. I have potty trained a puppy pit bull, taught her to sit, eat only in her cage and crate trained her. I do not accept violence or harsh acts or training, they’re cruel and that’s not how I handle animals. There is no kind of dog I don’t love :)

Nicole has nothing but love and compassion for animals. Knowing her for quite some time, I’ve seen her take care of her 3 dogs and 2 cats for quite some time and now her new pit bull puppy and her tabby cat. She is always excited to take her dogs to the park or on a long walk. I haven’t seen a dog not fall in love with Nicole. Maybe it’s because she bribes them with treats and cuddles, but I think it’s likely due to her loving demeanor and caring nature. Nicole was there constantly helping taking care of my yellow lab in his later years and was there to make sure he was happy and comfortable. She also helped me while I adopted two yellow labs and always enjoyed taking them on hikes and to play with other dogs. I couldn’t think of a better woman to keep your pup happy than Nicole!
