Nicole N. Pet Care Provider in Colorado Springs, CO 80907

Growing up, I ALWAYS had a dog, and I would often dog sit for the neighbors when they went out of town. It wasn't until I moved out and was going to college that I finally experienced not having a pet... and let me tell you it was sad and lonely four years.

One day my roomie/ best friend made an impulse decision to adopt a border collie-mix. I was a little hesitant at first, but soon my fiance, best friend, and I formed the perfect blended co-parenting team to our very high energy pup- Meeka. A few months later we decided to take the leap and start travel nursing. We uprooted our lives in Colorado to move into a camper and travel across the country to Connecticut with our adventure pup. We had a great time exploring, and Meeka loved going to the beach and chance she got.

Unfortunately plans changed, and my best friend met someone who she wanted to pursue. So our little family was broken up when my fiance and I took the camper to Arizona, and she kept Meeka with her on the East Coast. We were extremely sad not having a dog around to adventure with anymore, so just one day after arriving to Arizona we went to check out a local adoption event just to be around some dogs again. I told my fiance not to get his hopes up, and that we weren't going to buy the first dog we liked... but the jokes on me because I immediately fell in love with a little Shepherd Mix pup. She had this little nervous smile when my sister picked her up, but she was so calm and never made a peep. I begged my fiance to adopt her, and the rest was history!

Brandi has been mama's little girl since day one, so naturally she is completely spoiled rotten. She has brought so much happiness into our lives, and I could never imagine going on any adventures again without her.

I am still working as Travel nurse, working three 12-hour night's a week in Prescott Valley. I typically work my three nights in a row, but it differs from week to week which nights I am working. My fiance is creating his own business, so he has a very flexible schedule. Whenever I am at work or sleeping before work, my fiance brings our dog Brandi with him to his personal office here in Cottonwood. Thankfully our pup never has to be left alone between our two schedules.

We live in very cozy environment in our 5th wheel camper, and we have set up a fenced in area around it. We have a crate if necessary, but typically it is used just as toy storage (Brandi has LOTS of toys).
