Dogs are my best friend, really.

Pet care experience

I have years of experience caring for dogs. I've grown up caring for my family's dog and had a senior dog for the last few years. My dog Ollie crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this year and while I'm not ready for a new dog yet, I would love to care for pups while their humans are out of town. My apartment is dog friendly and I live on a quiet street that has a lot of good trees for sniffing. I've also lived with cats in the past and have cared for friends cats when they're away.

Nicole was great! She was super responsive and provided updates while I was out of town. Definitely would board Dory with Nicole again!

Nicole did such a great job watching our Buffy! She was very responsive, kept us updated, and sent lots of great pictures. We will definitely use her again.

Nicole was great! Nala went into heat shortly before her stay but Nicole was a trooper and took her anyway. Can't possibly thank her enough for her flexibility!

Nicole is a carrying and loving person with an admiration for animals. She is diligent, trustworthy and reliable. She routinely scrolls through Instagram and buzzfeed looking at the furriest and friendliest animals on the web. In person, I can attest to her snapping wonderful photos of whatever pet she is playing with or walking. She will give your pet the same amount of love you do, whenever you’re away.

Information Nicole Z. would like to know about your pet

We can discuss your dog's normal routine and what their needs are. I've watched my friends puppy and had a senior dog so I understand different dogs have different needs.

A typical day

I love going for long walks where your dog can enjoy sniffing the grass and trees in my neighborhood. I also have a few dog treat puzzles and Kong toy.

I work full time remotely so I would be home all day with your pup. I enjoy long walks and jogging. Depending on your pups needs I can do multiple short walks or longer walks if that's what they're used to.
