Hi :)

My name is Nicole and I am 33 years old. I am a certified dog trainer and give lessons at dog school "Hond op School" on Monday & Saturday.

Background
I grew up with many different animals and had my own dog pack of 6 dogs in Suriname. I also volunteered at the vet as a teenager. My love for animals, especially dogs, has never stopped. I came to the Netherlands to study and stayed to work. Since my work did not give me the time to have my own dog I became a volunteer at "de Dierenbescherming" as a "Dieren Buddy" and have many lovely furry friends I take on walks. I have dogsitted multiple times for family and friends & I always make sure I give regular updates. By pursuing my dream to help people create stronger, force-free and loving bonds with their furry friends, I started an internship at a dog school and obtained my diploma to become a certified dog trainer.

I currently work at a tech company that allows me to work from home, except on Mondays and Thursdays. This allows me to care for your pup on the days I work from home, as my schedule is very flexible. 

House & Surroundings
Since I can work from home, I can look after your cherished furry family member if you need day care, or would like to have a night out or a little getaway. I am located in beautiful green Pijnacker. I have a garden, and live near the Dobbeplas and Delfgauw. All offer some nice strolls and lots of space to play. 

I live with my partner, who is also a big dog lover. He also grew up with multiple dogs. We both speak English, Dutch, and a little bit of German.
