After a long and successful corporate career, living and working all over the world, I swapped my ID badge for a dog leash. I have been a dedicated dog owner and animal activist my entire life. Being able to combine my business skills and my love for dogs to create Professional Dog Mom has been a life long ambition. Besides being a small business owner, a certified dog trainer, and a full time Dog Mom, I am also an active volunteer for the Nevada Humane Society in Reno and Carson City. As a dog trainer, I am certified by Catch, FearFree, PACCC, and IBPSA. I am also a FetchFind certified dog handler, a member of PSI-Pet Sitters International, and a certified First Aid/CPR Instructor for PetEmergencyEducation.

Growing up I was surrounded by farm animals and always had dogs and cats around. After I moved out of my parents house, I continued to surround myself with as many animals as possible, quickly realizing that being around dogs is what I really craved. I have lived in Reno my whole life and graduated from UNR with a Bachelors degree in Biology in 2019. I currently work as a technician in skin cancer and feel lucky I am able to spend my free time working with your pups! I also enjoy hiking, traveling, and spending my days out at the lake. I ‘m so excited to meet and have the opportunity to enrich your pups life!

I’ve been fascinated by animals for as long as I can remember. As a kid I would bring home stray cats, lizards missing legs, and fallen chicks that couldn’t fly. As an adult, I still love to surround myself with animals at home and at my career job as a veterinary assistant. I’m so excited to meet your furred, feathered and scaled kiddos with my hobby job as a ProDogMom Nanny!

Hi, I’m Nicole! I spent my whole childhood playing with family and neighborhood pets 🙂 My household growing up had a number of rescued and adopted Pugs, but my adoration extends to many breeds. I have always loved the opportunity to love on other people’s pets! I am currently a graduate student who is exploring the healing relationships of connection with community, nature, art and those we hold closest to our hearts. The human-canine relationship is such a special and healing experience! I cannot wait to meet your fur babies & I look forward to providing a calm and loving presence for your animals, just as I would for my own.
