A typical day for my pets: I wake up around 6am every day. First thing is a potty break and 15-20 minute sniff walk to get that morning energy out. Then I prepare breakfast for my pup and 2 cats. Sammy eats home made food I make 4 days worth of portions at a time so it just needs to be warmed up. My cats like sheeba I add a little water to prevent dehydration. After breakfast Sammy relaxes for about an hour and then we go on our next walk of the day usually around 1 hour. Once’s she’s walked we go home for a couple hours to relax and have a treat. She likes her Kong with peanut butter and some crumbled treats inside. She also likes when I hide her treats around the house so she can find them. After her lunch nap we go for another 1 hour walk and some times a hike if the weathers nice. After the afternoon walk my pup takes a nap in her kennel and I brush my two boys Albus and Butters and give them their cat treats. Around dinner time I prepare their food the same way I did in the morning. At night time our walk takes about 45 minutes. And after her walk she relaxes until 10pm when she goes for a final potty break and then to bed for the night in my room.

Information Nicole Z. would like to know about your pet
I love to see a happy healthy dog or cat so if you have any special requests I will be more than happy to provide that care for your furry friend.
A typical day
Pup cups frozen with little treats inside a kong for enrichment after walks. If permitted by you of course. I have tons of toys at all times and closely monitor them while they play so that I can dispose of small pieces, fluff or squeakers. I like to hide small treats around the house and teach my dog how to sniff them out by saying find it. Walks every few hours to sniff out the area; we go very slow the walk usually lasts 30-60 minutes. My past couple of pups have been high energy dogs so I have been in this routine for 9 years.

Pet care experience
I have cared for others dogs and cats for about 18 years. I will care for your furry friend as if they are my own. I have no problem catering to specific diets they may have. I have experience with elderly and epileptic dogs. I had a pup of my own that had epilepsy and needed medications administered a few times a day. I am experienced with puppies as well as I have raised dogs from 7 weeks old to senior age.
Reviews

Kitsi was well cared for! Nicole is very attentive and did a great job making our somewhat anxious dog feel comfortable. Thank you!
Nicole is the best pet mom/ pet friend I know! She has always been great in the time she’s spent with my dog Samson. He’s a high energy guy and she gives him all the love and attention he needs. She treats him like one of her own and she’s great with making sure any special needs are taken care of
Highly recommend Very attentive and caring Nicole has pet sat several times for our frenchie, Cookie. 🍪 Cookie is a temper tantrum having teenage girl who lives to chew anything with a squeaker. Nicole will spend all day playing fetch to appease her need to destroy . Cookie has a picky appetite for anything that’s not a chew toy. Nicole will sit and hand feed Cookie to ensure that she gets all of her nutrients to grow big and strong to defeat the next boss squeaker toy. Nicole will text updates with pictures of Cookie playing, eating and bowl movements that may seem irregular. We appreciate the intricate updates for our Cookie Monster as it ensures she’s in safe and loving hands while we are away. We absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone in the area to pet sit as she is attentive , caring and she goes above and beyond to care for our Cookie Monster and Nicole even vacuumed up after Cookie destroyed a few toys ! That was an extra bonus for us 😆
Nicole is a natural born caregiver and absolutely loves animals. She has cared for my animals on a regular basis for several years and has proved over and over again her passion and love for animals as well as her vast knowledge in pet training and care. My dogs and cats adore her. It’s so important to find someone who you can trust with your fur babies. Nicole is that person for me and I truly believe she will be for you too!
