Pet care experience

Experienced & Compassionate Care

I'm a highly motivated and experienced individual with a strong background in leadership and a passion for helping others. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and a Master's in Organizational Leadership, and I've dedicated years to coaching, both at the collegiate and youth levels. My love for animals, particularly dogs, runs deep. I've shared my life with six wonderful dogs throughout my childhood and adulthood, including Golden Retrievers and smaller breeds like Yorkie-poos and Maltese-Yorkie mixes. This experience has given me a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. I'm a very active person and enjoy spending time outdoors. As a current club coach, my evenings are typically occupied, but I have ample availability during the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins. I'm comfortable with all sizes and breeds and understand the importance of regular feeding, exercise, and mental stimulation. I'm confident in my ability to provide a safe, loving, and enriching environment for your furry friend. I'm eager to learn more about your dog's individual personality and needs, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for them.

Nicole did another outstanding job taking care of our brood while we were on vacation! We couldn’t ask for a more communicative, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter!

Nicole is AMAZING! She’s not only great with our 3 large dogs, but was able to help us out last minute when we found ourselves in a pinch. We will definitely book her again in the future!

I’ve hired Nicole twice now to take care of my aging large dog. She’s a fantastic communicator and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I currently am a club coach so work evenings most nights. I have plenty of availability to check-in on your pets during the day and go for walks in the morning. I’m very active and enjoy taking my dog on long walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I take my dog out every 2-4 hours for a potty break or a short walk. He can get pretty hyper so we have our occasional wrestle and he likes to play catch. Whatever your dog needs are, I am sure I can accommodate. I have done drop ins for multiple people and am very trustworthy with keys and making sure their place is locked up when I leave.

Pets

A typical day

If your dog stays with me, we have a trail we will go to and a dog park across the street if they want to play catch.
