Pets

Separation Anxiety Expert

Pet care experience

I have a special needs Australian Cattle Dog. I am highly experienced with separation anxiety and can meet your pets unique needs. I respect each dog owners unique style. I will help provide any level of on-going training during my time with your dog and make sure to uphold any doggy rules such as no treats or special leash instructions. I have had extensive experience with my own pets and volunteer at a dog shelter where I have handled senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with special health care needs. I love big dogs and small dogs and pride myself in being extremely patient. I realize that every dog has their own personality and some take more time to warm up to people and new places. I will be more than happy to provide pictures or updates during my visit with your pup. Your dogs safety and care is my number one concern.

Nicole took wonderful care of River, I was provided with consistent updates and pictures throughout her stay, river definitely enjoyed her time with Nicole and I will be keeping her in mind for future stays.

Nicole has grown up with animals and is a true animal lover. She volunteers at the SF dog shelter and has exposure to many different types of breeds and dog personalities. She is skilled at getting to know the unique personality of the animals she cares for. I would definitely recommend her for pup sitting.
