Availability

My schedule has recently changed, but I still offer a safe, loving, and dependable home for dogs who are comfortable with a typical daytime routine. Monday through Thursday, I’m generally away from home between 6:30 AM and 5:30 PM. On Fridays, I’m usually away from 6:30 AM until around noon, though occasionally a bit later. Outside of those hours, I am home and available to provide plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship. Boarding works best for dogs that are comfortable being alone during the day and can safely relax while I’m away. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are focused on quality time, potty breaks, play, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I keep my calendar updated and am always happy to discuss your dog’s specific needs before booking to ensure we’re a great fit for one another. I believe in honest communication and only accept bookings that are a good fit for both the dog and my schedule. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and caring environment where your pet can feel at home.

Information NICHOLE B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know anything that helps me support your dog’s comfort and wellbeing. This may include feeding routines, potty schedules, quirks, sensitivities, reactivity, fears, medical needs, or how they do around children and other dogs. I also appreciate knowing if your dog has separation anxiety, resource guarding tendencies, or any special comforts that help them feel safe. The more I know, the more peaceful, attentive, and personalized I can make their experience.

A typical day

A typical day here is calm, structured, and peaceful. We start with gentle morning outside time on my supervised acreage so your dog can stretch, explore scents, and settle in. Throughout the day we rotate between relaxed play, cuddles, mental enrichment, and quiet rest. Every dog receives one-on-one attention, soft guidance, and a comforting routine that helps them feel safe and at home.

Nichole and her sons Jackson and William were awesome!! Buddy loved them.. they sent pictures and videos of them playing and napping and running in their huge yard several times throughout the 2 1/2 wks watching him! He was treated so well we were afraid he wouldn’t want to come home 😜 We were so grateful for the great care! They are a great family with a great home! Thanx so much!
