Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks. It's also helpful to understand if there are behavior modifications you're working on so I don't unintentionally undermine any training efforts.

I'm happy to accommodate whatever your dog most needs from their drop-in visits, whether they are active and love to play or more subdued and love a good snuggle.

Pet care experience

I love dogs and have been around them for my whole life. I particularly love small breeds and grew up in a house full of yorkies. We often had litters of puppies and I learned from a very young age how to handle, care for, and train dogs from birth. As an adult, I've had two male shih tzus from early puppyhood into adulthood, and they've joined me on many adventures. My first had his share of health issues, so I'm experienced with administering eye drops, ear drops, oral medications, and post surgical care. He suffered from cataracts and glaucoma in his senior years which eventually resulted in the loss of his vision, so I'm also experienced with the unique challenges of blind pets. I will love on your dogs like my own when they are in my care!

Nicole is a wonderful pet parent and overall compassionate, outstanding human. Your pets will be in loving, capable hands with her as your sitter. She may not offer cat sitting yet, but my cat also loves her; that is another testimonial to Nicole's good nature. She is an excellent communicator that will keep you updated on your pet and she will love them like her own!
