About Us

As lifelong pet lovers and trained professionals, the entire team at Active Furiends understands the stress and uncertainty that can come with leaving your beloved pets in someone else’s care—being apart from them is hard enough. That’s why we’ve built our team around core values of trust, reliability, and genuine compassion. Each of us is committed to providing expert care with the same attention and love we’d want for our own pets. Our goal is not only to show you who we are and what drives us, but also to help ease your concerns and build a lasting relationship based on confidence, professionalism, and heartfelt care.

Testimonials

“Nicole has been a lifesaver! Scouty is a clever, 12y old Shiloh shepherd. Well set in his ways, single minded and comfortable with covid-era attention…two hands full! Nicole has watched him carefully and stayed flexible, yet firm. He’s met his match. He took to Nicole and four-leger Hunter immediately, even skipping off to the vet and boarding for short and longer stays without incident. He perks up whenever he hears her name! We are delighted to benefit from Nicole’s care and feel secure leaving Scout in good solid (and unbelievably strong!) hands. Nicole’s services are in a class of their own – gold stars!”

"Nicole is absolutely wonderful! We have had a few dog sitters/walkers other than Nicole and Dexter has never been as happy with anyone else. Nicole is so caring and passionate about what she does. She has always treated our Dexter as if he was her own, and with how important he is to us, this is a BIG deal."

"Nicole and her team are amazing with my dogs and my cats! They are very communicative and always sends pictures of the walk, along with information regarding how many bathroom breaks the dogs have had! I highly recommend Nicole and Active Furiends for any of your dog walking needs!”
