I cannot say enough good things about Nicole, her goats, and her business! All around, Nicole was fantastic to work with - she even had custom coloring sheets made to accommodate our event! Her goats are the cutest in the world and the services she provides create a super personal petting zoo experience for any guest! Don't hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed!

We needed to cancel the actual event due to unforeseen circumstances, but I would highly recommend them due to how easy they are to work with and the services they provide. We will definitely be asking them to come to an event in the future.
