Nicole H. Pet Care Provider in Bothell, WA 98011

I grew up in a house filled with animals. My friends often referred to my house as a "zoo" because of our eclectic critter companions. We had horses, cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, lizards, birds, and fish. As a teenager, I volunteered my time at Kelsey Creek Park and assisted in the care of their farm animals (sheep, cows, pigs, goats, chickens, horses, etc.). Growing up, it was my childhood dream to one day be a vet. As a young adult, I worked for 7 years as a receptionist at a dog/cat boarding facility in Woodinville. I LOVED my work there and I learned a lot about how to properly care for animals including those with special needs. I also gained a deeper understanding of the different dog breeds , and a LOT of knowledge and practice in dog training. Not only did I train both of my own Jack Russell terriers, but I sometimes assisted the kennel trainer with her classes. I've been doing pet sitting as a side job for the last 17 years, and I've been working as a part time professional dog trainer for the last 1.5 years.
