Services With A Smile

If you would like caring, personalized attention from your dog walker in the West Seattle area, with walks that your dog will love, I’d highly recommend calling Nicole!
I’m so happy that I met Nicole while walking our enthusiatic puppy around Westcrest park last fall. Nicole now takes our dog Pepper out for a good hour of running and playing on the days when we can’t get to the park in daylight hours. Nicole has a calm demeanor and controls the dogs she brings to the park in a really positive way. Our dog absolutely adores her.
We asked her to help us work through some habits that Pepper arrived to us with (she is a rescue dog). Nicole talks through with us any training asks to make sure first of all that we are in agreement on the approach and wording, and then is firm but kind with the Pepper in making sure that the training happens. She shares updates and progress regularly.
Nicole keeps her dog groups small (max 1:3) so that she can really give each dog her attention, make sure they are exercised, that behavior and training is maintained, and that the dogs really have a great time.
Call Nicole quick before the rest of West Seattle finds out about her talents and books her up completely!

I met Nicole at Westcrest Dog Park about a year and a half ago. She has taken care of our Aussie as if she were her own dog. She has also been our house sitter. Nichole has a true gift that she humbly shares. She is generous and has a loving approach. She knows her craft and truly loves what she is doing! We will always use her services!

Gather ’round children while I tell you about a sad lady who needed someone to care for her beloved dog while she worked long days…
Walking around Westcrest I’d seen so called «professional» dog walkers yelling at dogs, jerking them around, or paying no attention to them while they chatted with their friends over coffee. I saw people who had 10 or more dogs shoved into the back of a van or a pickup. When they opened the gate it was like one of those clown cars at the circus where dogs kept piling out. This was NOT what I wanted for my baby. I was beginning to despair.
Luckily, I met Nichole. I met her walking the loop and didn’t know she was a pro until one day I was walking later and saw her with other dogs. It was like my prayers were answered! Here is someone who treats the dogs she’s taking care of just like I treat my dog. I couldn’t secure her fast enough!
Nichole is professional and she works to train Audrey while they’re together in an extremely positive way. She is always positive and friendly. She texts me pictures of Audrey having fun at the park. She’s been extremely flexible with my ever changing work schedule. She always informs me about how she’s doing. I have complete trust and faith in her that while my dog is with her that she’s safe, well cared for and having a great time.
If you want a walker/​trainer who will love your dog like you do, hire Nichole!
