Highlights
Pet care experience
Prepared couple w/flexible schedule
We both grew up with dogs. We currently have 1 cat which we have had for 10 years, a large dog, and a medium sized dogs. This collection of pets gives us a good amount of experience in caring for different types of pets as well as how they interact with each other. In addition to our own pets we have also cared for some of our friends pets overnight on many occasions and have shared houses with roommates who have also had dogs and cats. I have no prior professional experience caring for others pets, do I m a behavioral psychologist who has worked with neurodivergent children for many years and can apply these concepts to pet care.

Ratings and reviews
Nicholas and Carole are the best! Our 8-month old high energy dog Fozzy loved his time there and slept so well at home afterwards, and even the next day! Nicholas took him on fun walks, exercised him with play time in their backyard, and let him run and play with their dog Bruce. They sent frequent photo and videos during the day. They even got him to go potty right before I picked him up, so that I wouldn't have to do that after we got home late at night. We hope to book them again in the future!
Nicholas & Carole took great care of our labradoodle including fun trips to the park and snuggle time. They also sent pics and video to keep us in the loop. We’re grateful for their care.
We’re fantastic and super sweet with aloy, providing all the fetch time she could want. Plenty of pics and were kind enough to watch her over the holiday
Wonderful couple who really care and know how to handle dogs! Looking forward to many more walks!
Excelente muy recomendable
I have recommended Nick and Carole to several pet parents that are seeking not just pet sitters but genuine animal lovers who treat your pets as if they were their own. Two years ago, a common friend recommended them to me, and since then, I have entrusted them with the care of my beloved senior dog whenever I'm away. Our furry family member is no ordinary pet; she's a large senior dog with unique needs. She requires constant attention and has to be taken out for bathroom breaks at least every two hours. Despite the challenges that come with caring for an older dog, Nick and Carole have consistently exceeded my expectations. What sets Nick and Carole apart is their genuine and caring approach. They don't just fulfill the basic requirements; they go above and beyond to ensure that our dog receives the love and attention she deserves. One of the things that truly warms my heart is their willingness to cuddle with her on the couch through the night when she doesn’t feel well. It's these extra touches that make me confident that my dog is not just looked after but truly cared for in my absence. The peace of mind I experience knowing that Nick and Carole are taking care of my dog is invaluable. Their dedication, attention to detail, and compassionate demeanor make them the only choice for pet sitting in my book.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In our experience, that dogs and cats crave more than anything else is safety, trust, and an understanding of the ways they attempt to communicate with you. Our pets are capable of being on their own when needed, but when we are around they never leave our sides even for a moment. They are obedience as trained through positive reinforcement and socialization through meaningful experiences. They look to us for guidance, but we also like to challenge them to think for themselves to solve problems such as getting a to out of reach or navigating to us when the path is not visibly clear. I give this level of attention and support to every pet I meet and know how to build a relationship of trust and respect quickly and effectively. Even pets belonging to former roommates tend to follow me more than their owners after enough time.

A typical day
Our bigger dog is a big fan of playing with dogs of all sizes. Tug or war and chasing the ball together are always fun. At other times we just hang out in the gated front yard, get fresh air, and greet the other dogs and people walking by. A good walk is always fun. Our cat likes to play hide and seek (she is usually the seeker), but every pet is different. We also like to set up some small fun thinking activities such as pushing buttons to request things like ball, treats, or walks.
