I have always had a love and passion for all animals, and this led to me to study and become qualified in Animal Care. Here I gained invaluable knowledge on how to not only care for a variety of animals, but also to understand and identify their needs. I have an interest in canine psychology and what external factors makes dogs do the things they do.

I have shared my home with a variety of pets - dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, fish and birds and currently share my life with a yellow lab who is super friendly. This friendliness extends to all animals and humans and often gets him into trouble when the other does not reciprocate his friendship.

I am very thankful our current clients allow us to care for their pets, and I simply adore all our furry clients too!

In 2019 I semi - retired but wanted to work a meaningful job where I get a lot of exercise, and explore my passions, which includes animals, mostly dogs. I have shared my whole life with dogs large and small. My perfect role, I decided, was working as a dog walker with Ruth's Dog Walking, who were based in Woodinville where I lived.

I worked with the company for three years, enjoying every minute, before my wife, my Yorkie Manny and I moved to the Wenatchee area in early 2022. I missed spending my day walking dogs so much that I contacted Ruth (a Yorkie can only walk so far!), and we decided to expand our services here. Wenatchee has become our home, we love the city and North Central Washington, and I look forward to working with the dogs and clients in this beautiful place. 

I was born and raised in Washington where I grew up in a house with more dogs than people. Being constantly surrounded by animals has set off a passion for caring and helping our four legged friends!


I have experience working as a vet assistant at Mercy Vet and am currently working towards my degree in graphic design. I also own a photography business and will be sure to take great photos of your fur babies! I enjoy exploring the pacific northwest, hiking, pickleball, painting, and hanging out with my adorable little pups, Koda and Shiloh.  

Even from a young age I've always been intrigued by animals of all kinds. During my early years in Arizona playing with my tomcat Aladar and my bearded dragon DunDee! If I wasn't around them I was either reading about any animal I could or outside trying to find them myself!

Moving to Washington my love for animals only grew as I met new family and friends who had their own furry (or not furry!) friends. I found myself always jumping to the opportunity to care for their pets if they were ever in need. As I've gained a better understand of how animals think and why they act the way I do it's not only helped me with my own pets but others as well. Sometimes we need a helping hand with our pets and I've found a real joy in extending that hand to owners who might need a break when life gets unpredictable. I enjoy meeting all people and pets at RDW and my main goal is to make pets feel as if you never left!

Greetings! I'm Nicole and I'm on an exciting journey as a passionate dog walker. My love for animals has always been at the core of who I am, and it's this unwavering passion that led me from a fulfilling career as a medical assistant to this new adventure.

At the heart of my life is my dear companion, Alyeska, my cherished Australian Shepherd. She's not just a pet; she's family, and her boundless energy and loyalty inspire me every day. Having spent time caring for people in the medical field, I've honed my nurturing spirit and dedication to the well-being of others. Now, I'm channeling that same love and attention into the wonderful world of our four-legged friends. While I embrace my role as a dog walker, I'm also dreaming of another chapter in my life: the prospect of becoming a mother one day. As I embark on this path, my commitment to caring for and nurturing lives, whether human or furry, remains steadfast.
