Insured Pet Care Professional
Pet care experience
I am a full-time dog walker and pet sitter, and I own/operate my own company, Furever Young Pet Care, in Midlothian. I have extensive experience with anxious pets, and I utilize different techniques to help comfort them and gain their trust. I'm also certified in Pet CPR/First Aid! Since I'm individually insured and bonded, you can rest assured that your pets will be in great hands with me! What to expect for weekly walks: * Walks average one mile total, but distance varies greatly based on energy level, desire to sniff, and weather * If weather does not permit us to walk, we will do a potty break outside and then play indoors —dogs will be thoroughly dried off if they get wet *In the warmer months, cooling vests are provided to keep dogs cool so that they can enjoy their walks in comfort! We may need to shorten walks due to extreme heat. * Updates after each walk, including: photos, notes, and a GPS map of our walk * Packages left at the door or on porch will be brought in * Water is refilled prior to my departure What to expect while you’re away: * Photos and thorough notes after each appointment * Walks based on their normal schedule, at no additional cost * Medication administration at no additional cost, oral or injection * Accidents and messes cleaned up as they happen * Your pets will get fresh water every morning, or more frequently per your request * If we walk in the rain, dogs will be towel dried thoroughly * If we cannot walk due to weather conditions, we will play indoors and do dog puzzles to give them mental stimulation * Paws wiped after walks if wet or snowy outside, using my own towel * Bringing in mail and packages daily * All food and water bowls will be washed on the last visit, with my own sponge and towel to avoid using yours I am happy to accommodate any special requests, as I know that almost everyone has at least one. I'm a pet owner myself and completely understand that each pet has different needs! I make sure to clean up as well as wash food and water bowls at the end of each pet sitting booking, so that you don’t have to worry about any of that when you return home! I always have carpet cleaner and urine removal spray on hand, so I’m always prepared in case of any accidents. **Please note that 60 min appointments are based upon availability, as my schedule does not always permit the time.**
Reviews
Nicole was wonderful!! Always sent us pictures and details of her visit which we were very glad to get and see!! She took her time with our little fur baby so he could warm up to her. So the next time he will be even more comfortable with her visits.
Nicole is amazing! Our cat ADORES her so it’s great to know that he’s in good hands and happy!
She’s simply the best. Better than all the rest.
Thanks to Nicole’s positive attitude and clear communication, our family was able to fully enjoy our trip knowing for certain our cats were in the best hands possible. Nicole sent insightful updates and candid playtime pictures to further ease our minds while we were away. Thank you Nicole! ??

Information Nicole Y. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs, regardless of breed! One thing that would really be helpful would be a list of commands that your dog responds to. I would also like to know what their daily routine looks like so that I can best stick to it.
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood, almost as much as they love getting out! I also have a few dog puzzles in case it's not safe to walk due to the weather, so they'll have fun and get mental stimulation at the same time.
