Dogs ARE family. Let me help yours
Pet care experience
I have been a dog lover my whole life. I DO WORK FULL TIME. I AM OPEN ANY EVENING AFTER 4:30PM MON/ TUES/ WED AND FULLY AVAILABLE FROM THURSDAY EVENING UNTIL SUNDAY EVENING. PLEASE KEEP THESE TIMES IN MIND WHILE BOOKING. I will do my best to coordinate times with you and I will reply as quick as I can. I prefer daycare, boarding or drop ins as I have a puppy at home. I have dog sat for friends and even did fostering through Asheville Humane Society. My dream job would be to work with K9 Therapy Services, especially those for veterans. I have been around dogs through the puppy stages, into senior care and the hardest part, watching them walk over the Rainbow Bridge. I do not have a fenced yard so your dog would go out with me on a leash or in the smaller kennel I have outside if they feel like they don’t like to potty on a lead. I do not have close neighbors as I live in a country setting. My lab pup Ellie, would love to make new friends. I have two different size crates if your best friend needs to be housed in one when alone or at night. Please make sure to provide your own food and any special requirements your pet may need. My girl, Ellie, loves my cat, Addison, although the feeling is not always reciprocated. Addison is an outside cat so you wouldn’t have to worry about your puppy or kitty around her. Addison will also run away when she sees a strange dog or human so no need to worry about her. I have experience following medication and diet orders for four-legged friends. I am available for house-sitting but I do prefer boarding for the simple fact that I know where everything is and have the supplies ready if there were any accidents in the house. I LIVE 9 MILES FROM MEDVET EMERGENCEY HOSPITAL and could get there quickly if ever the need arose.
Reviews
Nicole took wonderful care of our Cami. All all details I requested were for filled wonderfully. Very nice prompt service. Nice photo to let us know she was here. She even washed our cats dish which I did not expect! Definitely recommend Nicole.
Nicole was fantastic sitter for our six month pup. She was gracious and kind, and our boy came back tired and happy from a day spent at her place! Would recommend her to anyone!
Nicole was great with our 4 month puppy! It was the first time we left our pup with someone besides our family, and she made us feel comfortable and sent pictures of our little guy! I would definitely recommend her!
Thank you for taking such great care of our boy!!

I care for others pets as I would my own. I like to watch them at first and let them do their own thing. Whether in my home or yours, they will show me what they want and what makes them comfortable. I can be stern when need be. Keeping them safe and happy are the 2 most important things. I can provide services for multiple animals a booking, however, I choose to only do one client at a time. For example, I can board your 3 dogs but will not dog sit another client on the same days.

Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements that I need to account for. Medication, diet, behaviors, likes and dislikes etc. If your pet needs to be the sole animal I care for because of behaviors or your preference, I will need to know this ahead of time so I don't book other clients. I prefer medium to large dogs and retrievers are my favorite but I’ll take anyone I can play and cuddle with.
A typical day
Plenty of playtime will be had. Tossing their favorite toy to fetch, checking out the park to explore new smells and socialization with my pup. I am here to exercise the energy out of them or give cuddles and belly-rubs. And I haven't forgotten the kitties. They also get play time and loving too!!
