Give your dog a special vacation!
Pet care experience
My life has always been about animals! Growing up I was part of 4-H and FFA. I attended MJC completing the Veterinary Technician Program, and worked as a Veterinary Technician for 2 years. I then graduated from Cal Poly SLO, where I studied Animal Science. I became an accredited Dog Trainer in 2003, and since then I have passionately spent my time working with dog's and their owners. I have worked and cared for with a wide range of animals (dogs, reptiles, horses, fish, pigs, cattle, goats, rabbits, cats, rats, and more). It is just myself and my boyfriend that live in our house, along with the dogs. I currently own a Mini Pig that knows as many tricks as the dogs! The pig's name is Booty and she does come in the house, is potty trained and crate trained. She does not play with the dogs and has her own space. I also have rats that are trained to play barn hunt. A fun new dog sport. My rat cages are kept where the dogs can not get them. My dogs are Britney Dawg (Dobi Mix), Buddy (Pit Bull), Gauge (Chesapeake Bay Retriever), and Pearl (American Staffordshire Terrier). They love having doggie friends come stay. Me and my dogs stay busy training and we enjoy participating in many different dog sports.
Reviews
Maddie had a great 7 night stay with Nicole. Nicole sent us pictures via text and updates on how Maddie was doing. I had Maddie meet with Nicole for a meet and greet a few days before our trip. Maddie remembered Nicole when she went for her stay. Nicole was nice enough to drop off Maddie when we got home. I couldn't ask for anyone better to watch Maddie.
We decided last minute to board our 7 month old dog for the day. Nicole responded to our request quickly and was very friendly and knowledgeable. We felt very comfortable leaving our puppy with Nicole, knowing our puppy was playing in a controlled environment instead of being left in a kennel for the day. We already have another request in for our upcoming vacation.
Simply put, Nicole is amazing. My husband and I never leave our pup, so finding a sitter we were comfortable with proved to be a bit of a challenge. Nicole made us feel so comfortable and from the moment we dropped Quincy off we knew she was in good hands. Nicole sent us several pictures of Quincy playing throughout her stay and gave us plenty of updates on how everything was going. At the end of Quincy's vacation, we got delayed in getting back home. Nicole was so kind and willing to adjust her plans to keep Quincy a little longer and then drop her off at our home when we finally made it back. We will absolutely be staying in contact with Nicole for all future sitting needs, and we even plan on hiring her to train Quincy! We can't thank you enough for your kind heart and wonderful patience with our pup, Nicole. You're the best!
Autzie had a great time with Nicole! She got a ton of exercise and came home happy and exhausted (she's a Viszla so getting enough play time is a challenge). Nicole sent us pictures while we were away and was easily accessible. We will use her services again! Thank you!

A typical day
We are a very active family and always enjoy having our doggie friends join in on our activities. We live on 5 acres, have a large fenced in yard to play, take walks in the country and have a large pond for those dogs that enjoy swimming. When I do go to work, the dogs come with me. The training facility I work at is also in the country, has large fenced in yards and surrounding trails to walk.
