Big or small - I love them all!
Pet care experience
I have a huge heart for animals and have had pets my entire life. I take care of my mom and dad's dogs frequently when they are away on vacation, and I currently help take care of their 2 horses. I have experience with small dogs (chihuahuas, dachshunds, shi tzus, etc.) and big dogs (labs, pointers, dobermans, shepherds, huskies, retrievers, etc). I love to get outdoors and take walks. And if your dog prefers to stay indoors and snuggle up, I love that, too! I recently graduated with a MA in psychology and am pet sitting while looking for a full time teaching position. Rover is a great way for me to support myself while doing something I love.
Reviews
Nicole is a great communicator and provides detailed status reports so you know your pups are being well taken care of. She was very accomodating when we had some travel issues and had to make some adjustments the dates/times.
Nicole did a great job with our dog Cooper!!
Nicole was spectacular! Even with the challenge of taking care of two puppies and our 7 year-old Rottie, we were always at ease with our dogs and home care. Nicole is very communicative and treats dogs like they are her own. We loved the daily photos of our pack! I would never hesitate to recommend her to others for dog and house sitting duties. She’s awesome!
Nicole did such a great job with my two dogs! She gave them lots of TLC, and was very communicative with me. I will definitely request Nicole again for dog sitting!
About Nicole W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I know that animals miss their companions when they’re on vacation and that’s never a fun experience for anyone. I curate a safe and cozy environment for animals by listening to their signals, respecting their boundaries, and showing them love and safety according to their unique needs. I am incredibly patient with animals that are slow to warm up and will put the effort in to make them feel the best they can. I am also enthused to snuggle up with, love on, and play with animals that want to dive right in!
Information Nicole W. would like to know about your pet
It’s essential for me to know your animals’ typical behaviors and demeanor so I am able to detect and respond appropriately to anything unusual. It’s also helpful to know what types of solutions have worked for you in the past with your pet if they are stressed, upset, scared, etc. Any unique needs are of course imperative to know, as well.
A typical day
I go for walks regularly for general wellness, so your dog will get lots of outdoor time if they so desire! Playing with animals is always a fun activity for me if they enjoy that, as well. I also enjoy brushing and massaging animals especially if they really love it. :)

Availability
Because I am not working, my availability is 100% open to you! I do not have any commitments or time conflicts that would prevent me from always being with your fur family. I can house sit outside of Battle Ground, as well (as north as Longview and as south as Portland).
