WFH Sitter-Belly Rubs & Trail Walks
I work from home, so your dog gets constant company and supervision - not hours alone in a crate. I have crates and beds set up in every room - bedroom, living area and right next to my desk in my office. I also have a dog hammock on the patio, so your dog can settle in wherever feels comfortable to them. I'm experienced with positive reinforcement training, including hand signals and treat-based cues, which works well for dogs who are shy, older, or still learning. I also have easy access to walking trails and a dog park, so there's always an option for exercise, whether your dog wants a calm stroll or more active playtime. I have a group of friends and their pups at the dog park that played with my pup Charli for years until I recently lost her to cancer. Dogs are family to me. I've cared for a dog through serious illness, so I understand what patience, routine, and gentle care really look like. I will bring that same level of attention to your dog while in my care. I'll keep you updated with photos, videos, and check-ins so you always know your pup is safe, happy, and loved.

Ratings and reviews
Nichole is hands down the best dog sitter ever! I can't put into words how reassuring it is to be able to leave Bronson with someone I completely trust when I'm out of town. The moment he sees Nichole, he gets so excited, and it's obvious he feels right at home with her. One of my favorite things is receiving the photo updates she sends throughout the day. It's so comforting to see how much fun he's having! She takes him on trail walks, lets him soak up the sun on her beautiful patio overlooking the greenery, and he absolutely loves playing at her dog park. Nichole genuinely treats every dog like they're her own. She is incredibly kind, loving, and attentive, and I never have to worry when Bronson is in her care. I cannot recommend her enough—if you're looking for someone who will love and spoil your dog while you're away, Nichole is the one!
Nichole is the best! She has cared for my pets for many years. My dogs are like my family members, when we can’t take them with us on trips, the only people I trust are Nicole or my own mom! She anticipates their needs and asks all the right questions when dealing with their care. I would not hesitate in trusting her with your most loved companion.
Nichole would be the perfect care provider for your pet. I witnessed 1st hand how she cared for her pet. She toke time to listen to her pet and respond to her pets needs. She made sure her pet was walked several times a day, fed her pet responsibly & created a time for activity so her pet was not just laying around. Nichole has love to spare when it comes to pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I do not have any pets currently. I just lost my 5 year old pup to cancer. She was my life. I trained her with hand signals. She was well behaved and my travel companion. I love dogs and have the patience and availability to care for them. I have a patio with a dog hammock for relaxing. I have two crates and multiple beds set up in different rooms - my bedroom, my office and the living room. Dogs are allowed on the couch and if they are more comfy sleeping in the bed, I'm ok with that. I have trails all around my complex that I walk daily for leash walks and a nice dog park. If your dog is not friendly with other dogs but still needs exercise, I have the freedom to go to the dog park during the day when the park is mostly empty. I have a group of friends that my pup played with at the dog park and it is a great community here.
A typical day
I have toys for tug of war. I will take your dog on trail walks at least once a day and regular walks 3-4 times a day. I like to work from my patio when its cool in the mornings and have my coffee there so they will enjoy some time on the pup hammock. I can take them to the dog park on the property daily if they require interaction with other animals. Your pup will chill with me on my couch in the evenings and if you are ok with it, I like to make apple and sweet potato chips in my air fryer. My pup loved my homemade treats.
