Pet care experience
I don’t just love dogs, I get them
Hi, my name is Noelle and I’m a paramedic and professional dog trainer! I have a total of 15 years of experience with dogs. I have worked with dogs of various ages, breeds, temperaments, energy levels, and health and behavioral quirks. And as a working breed owner and enthusiast, you can trust that your working breed will get the care and attention they need to truly thrive, not just survive. I’ve owned three dogs so far over the course of my life. I had a miniature dachshund from 9 months of age until she passed at 13. My other childhood dog, a dachshund/terrier/herding breed mix had Cushing’s syndrome at the end of his life so I became accustomed to all those special needs. Nowadays I am solely responsible for my fur child, Jack, who is a rescue American pit bull terrier that I’ve trained and nurtured from a skinny and skittish stray to a confident and loving companion. Jack is the light of my life and I take a tremendous amount of pride in the care and love I provide him. Whether canine or feline or any other species, I will love and care for your animal bestie just like my own! Rover does not give me the option to display this but I also offer 15 minute options for drop ins and walks starting at $15 and $20 respectively. I also offer drop in and walk combination packages. Options include 15 minute walk + 15 minute drop-in starting at $24, 30 minute walk + 15 minute drop-in at $34, 30 minute walk + 30 minute drop-in at $42, 60 minute walk + 15 minute drop-in at $50, and 60 minute walk + 30 minute drop in at $58. If you are interested in any of these options, request to book any service and let me know in the message which one you would like to book and I will adjust the price and put you down in my calendar for that.

Safety, trust & environment
I take pride in the care I provide animals and strive to go above and beyond for each client because you deserve to know that your beloved pet is in good hands. I closely follow all instructions given to me and will keep your home in tip top shape while I am here. I use Rover cards for drop-ins and walks and always add plenty of photos and detailed notes so you know exactly how the visit went. As a dog trainer, I am educated on dog behavior, body language, and communication, and I know how to approach and handle fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs to help them feel safe and comfortable. If there is any training you are working on with your dog, I am more than happy to help you maintain that while I am caring for your pet. I use a balanced training approach that adheres to the LIMA (least intrusive, minimally aversive) framework, which means I use rewards your dog loves to shape and teach new, desirable behaviors and give fair corrections when there are gaps that need filling. My main goal in training is for your dog to build trust in me and a better relationship with you. In terms of walking equipment, please note that I require a fixed length leash for all dogs for safety, no retractable or bungee leashes. I can provide a fixed length leash if you do not have one. If you use a prong collar, I require it to be fitted properly in order to use it. If you are unsure about the fitting, I can check it for you at the meet and greet. E-collars must be E-Collar Technologies, Dogtra, or Garmin brand, otherwise I will not use it.
Ratings and reviews
Noelle is awesome, and is very flexible and understanding in her scheduling ! Would recommend to all!
Noelle has been so good with our 2 dogs! One of our dogs can be reactive and she has been amazing at understanding her behaviors. I look forward to booking with her again!
Noelle was great! Super reliable and great with Gunny!
Noelle did a great job with my Wheatens! She did drop in visits. She played with them and always made sure their water bottles were full! Will use her again if we need it!
Noelle never ceases to do the best job working with Archie! We are thankful for her communication, sweet spirit, and hard work! Any pet would be lucky to be cared for by her!
Noelle was amazing! We had her stay at our home for 10 days and take care of our two dogs. We live in a townhouse community and the dogs have to be walked several times per day. She always let us know when she was walking them and feeding them. The regular updates made us feel so good and we could see from the pictures our girls were happy. She kept our house in great condition as well. Our dogs loved her and so did we. She even left us a little note and plant welcoming us home. She truly did a great job and I would recommend her to anyone needing dog sitting services.

Schedule
I am currently unable to accept clients on weekdays through October 2. After that, I will be returning to work as a paramedic and will be on a rotating schedule, so please check my calendar to ensure I have available the dates you need before requesting to book. I also take on clients through Resilient K9s Seminole which is my independent dog training business, so I may have to adjust booking times slightly based on if I have spots booked. Please note that I will not offer 60 minute walks or any package that includes a 60 minute walk between 10am and 6pm during the summer months for the safety of your pet.
