Must Love Dogs!
Pet care experience
Greetings pet owners and soon to be furry friends! I have been a pet owner for 27 years and I have been entrusted with caring for family and friends’ pets from a very young age. I love the outdoors (during all seasons) and fur babies alike! Meeting each new dog is an enjoyable experience as I adore getting to know your pets, and their unique personalities while in my care. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule, being available most nights and weekends. Working from home allows me to be more present with your fur baby and spoil them with love and attention while you are away. I have various meetings and trainings throughout my work week, so if your pup likes to talk a lot, we might not be the best fit for one another. My home environment: I live in a house with a fenced in backyard, but will chaperone the entire time to assure 100% safety. I have had my chinchilla for a little over 10 years and he resides in a huge run in our basement, so this shouldn’t pose any issues if boarding your dog. I have experience, caring for cats, fish, birds, chinchillas, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, frogs, and dogs. What you can expect from me during your dogs boarding or house sit: feeding twice a day, fresh water all day long, two walks a day (20 to 30 minutes each, depending on your dogs, desire), potty breaks every 3 to 4 hours, one hour of playtime inside or out (dog’s preference), and unlimited cuddles with scratches. I always provide a daily update, which includes a couple of photos of your fur baby and a rundown of our adventures of the day. If your dog has special needs or more frequent care is needed let’s chat about it, just know additional charges may apply. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!
Reviews
Nicole is a wonderful, caring, person who watches our pooch Lucy. She and spouse are wonderful and we’re so thankful to have found her on Rover. Thank you for miss Lucy during the quick trip Outside.
I dropped off my boy to Nicole, she is so nice for me and my boy!! She took photos to let me know what Sprite is doing, and let him feel at home. Highly recommended!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my number one priority, so I am prepared to be outside with your dog for the duration of outdoor time chaperoning, regardless of the season. I keep doors closed in my house to limit wondering for mischief prone dogs. We keep a tidy home also to ensure your pups comfort and safety.
Home
Information Nicole I. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your dog has any special needs, medical issues, or requires special care. Knowing the ages of my new furry friends helps me cater my services to each pet’s unique needs. I need to know if your dog is friendly with other animals, or prefers to be the only star in the spotlight. I love to hear about your dog’s special talents, whether it be escape artist, counter surfer, hunger striker, is a flight risk, etc. as this information helps me to keep them safe at all times. Additionally, I need to be made aware of any situations that make your pet skittish or any locations/areas I should avoid for their comfort and safety. At the meet and greet, I’d like to be shown what a day in the life of your pet looks like so I can simulate this routine in your absence. Knowing your pups favorite toys and treats, make for a more enjoyable playtime so they can have fun while you’re away.
A typical day
There are a couple of parks near my house, fur baby’s choice. I love playing in the snow with dogs, playing music and dancing around the house, hiking and playing fetch. I talk out loud a lot (drives my partner crazy, but your pup will not be bored).

Availability
I incorporate the care of your pet into my morning, lunch, and night time routine. If I’m awake, your pet will be beside me. 8 hours of sleep helps me to feel my happiest and healthiest self, so if your dog needs 2-4AM potty breaks, we might not be a good fit for one another. I love being active and am happy to bring your dog along on my daily walks and weekend hikes.
