Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Nicolle. I've been a dog lover for 28 years, an owner for about 23 and a regular dog walker for about 3 years. I currently have 1 dog of my own- an 12 year old shih tzu named Zoe. She is very sweet, gentle and kind! I am definitely that person who ends up spending the majority of the time at a party hanging out with the hosts dog. I love going for long walks, I love going for hikes, I love grooming and bathing dogs and helping them learn tricks. I am not a 'certified' groomer however, just a groomer in the way that all pet owners are :) I have typically been an owner of small breeds in past, but i love all dogs, big and small! Never met a breed I didn't like :) I am a very intuitive/sensitive person, in that I can easily sense when the animals around me are uncomfortable, sick, scared, and what they might need. I am always willing to be that person walking around with a giant bag of pet toys and treats and water bowls, and always have endless tummy rubs and praise ready for them! Whatever specifics you need me to know about YOUR pet, I will note them and treat your dog as if it were my own. If you need references for my compassion towards animals, i have plenty. :)
Reviews
Nicolle was so great and has such a nice space for dogs to roam, she clearly made belle feel comfortable and safe at her place. Her dog Zoe is a sweetheart and gets along very well with other dogs, which definitely helped belle be at ease in her home. I appreciated her sending me pictures and updates throughout and she didn’t even mind that belle had a couple accidents which was so great of her and really helped me to not worry about belle being good. I would absolutely leave belle with Nicolle again and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much Nicolle!!
Nicolle is lovely. Super friendly, great listener, was able to handle our rambunctious formosan and brought us back a happy sleepy pup. I would recommend her!
Nicolle has been looking after my dog Tina consistently for almost a year now and she is the absolute best. Tina loves spending her days at Nicolle’s home with her sweet dog zoey. Nicolle is caring, reliable, passionate and a very down to earth honest person that i can rely on. Shes one of the best pet sitters Tina and I have ever met, she’s like family to us. I would recommend her to anyone.
Nicolle took care of Riley for the day and they spent some time walking around the park. My conversation with Nicole was easy and she was very responsive. Riley got a long with her 11 year old Shih Tzu Zoey. Nicolle sent me multiple photos throughout the day.

Information Nicolle D. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know the dogs breed, age, food preferences, and what their day to day generally looks like so i know what to expect. i'd also like to know how they interact with other people and other dogs- I don't currently have my own dog that would be joining us, but just to know for the purposes of others we might encounter. Would also like to know if there are any notable health concerns, or things we should avoid doing in our time together! above all, i'd like to know what makes them happy, comfortable, and what they enjoy most :)
A typical day
I love going for walks in whatever nice parks or beach areas are near by- I live near commercial drive, and I love to take my family dogs to Trout Lake, where they can run around, meet new dog pals, and sniff tons of trees! But even a nice long walk through a suburban area can be perfect, and especially if it's an area the dog knows well and is comfortable with. I love playing with whatever favorite toys a dog has! I've even been known to teach a few dogs to play hide and seek...SO ADORABLE and so much fun!!
