“Nicole was amazing and on a short notice! She followed instructions perfectly. Will ask for her help again.”
About: Since I was little I always loved all kinds of animals especially dogs being my favorite. They are truly a wonderful creation on earth. I been having a pet basically my whole life and once I moved out I had to get a me a little companion or two. When I was searching for houses to buy, one of my main requirements was a house with a big back yard for my dogs to play in. I have two dogs Dakota who's 3 husky mixed with pitbull and a 8 month german shepherd who loves to play and make friends. But once again I am a very huge animal person and if you choose to let your companion stay with me I will treat and love him like my own I currently do security and most of my shifts are overnight, so your pet would be taken care of greatly throughout the day and would have plenty of outside time depending on the weather I have big fenced back yard with cameras for your dog safety and to have plenty of outside time, I also have two dogs who would love to keep them company and I am currently making a room just for the dogs to relax from everyone if needed.

About: I grew up in a home where we treat our dogs as family. I've cared for 4 dogs separately in my life time, 3 of which were via my parents home and one of which on my own in my first apartment in Chicago IL. Dogs almost never miss a beat with approaching you with so much love & joy when you come home and so I feel I should only do the same with how I care for them; i.e making sure their dishes are clean that they receive enough walks & play time for the day, that they also receive treats not just for good behavior but just because they're wonderful. My specialty is communicating with him or her of their needs and servicing them to satisfactory.

She provided a safe and loving environment, handling him with remarkable ease and care. Jasmine kept me updated with regular photos and messages, ensuring I felt at ease while I was away.
