Nicole

Hey! I'm Nicole. I am an experienced and passionate animal enthusiast with a diverse background in shelter work, including my involvement at a donkey rescue where I cared for stray cats and dogs. Throughout my time there, I was responsible for the well-being of these animals, ensuring they received proper exercise, socialization, and preparation for adoption. Additionally, I provided essential medical care, including administering medication and even injections when necessary.

I'm not just here for cutie dog walks and making furry friends, although that is a perk. Don't get me confused with the other dog walkers or sitters on this platform who are simply looking to make a quick buck. I'm very serious about what I do and your pet will be in good hands for the right reasons. This also explains and justifies my prices although if you are interested in me as your walker or sitter, but it is out of your price range, please drop me a message and we'll see what we can do. I've been in this position several times.

No one deserves that pain. I'm not just someone doing this for the extra cash with no experience. I'm the safe choice.🛡️
