Loving Family w/ Large Fenced Yard
Pet care experience
I love to help working owners continue to potty train their puppies with my doggy daycare service. I use the kennel training method with free time rewards plus treats and tons of praise; there will be frequent potty breaks and playtime. I'm able to adapt to your style as well. I have grown up with dogs always in the house from noble Golden Retrievers to cuddly Pomeranians and Shitzus, even 4 different dogs at one time! My husband grew up in Guatemala with dogs of all kinds, such as Poodles and German Shepherds. Our four kids, including a busy toddler love meeting new dogs and playing with them. We are home during the day so when you can't be, we will look out for your best friend. We have a large, fenced yard and lots of hands available for attention giving. Your furry one will definitely get lots of playtime and love at our house! We have a pet fish, Jonah and pet snail, Slimy. But they don't bother anyone. ;-) Dog boarding is per 24 hour, (i.e. drop off at 10 am; pick up will be 10am) If you need a late pickup, we'll just tack on a daycare charge for it and no sweating arrival time. Rover sends us Dog Sitters an automated text that you want pictures, so if you'd rather not get pictures and text updates, you'll have to let us know, as that's a part of our job requirements. I am willing to give dog baths for just $10 as well. If your dog needs to be walked instead of just outside play, I'm glad to do it, we charge $15 each walk. Keep me informed to your furry one's specific needs. I'm happy to work a deal out! We look forward to meeting you and your pet and hopefully building a fun relationship with you both.
Reviews
Nicole took very good care of her dear puppy for five days, while we were entertaining guests from another country. She took pains to find out what kind of food might make him happy, and he loves zooming around your backyard. I highly recommend Nicole to care for your dog .
Nichole was wonderful. She and her family took great care of my dog Rocco. She was courteous and flexibile and regularly kept me up to date on how he was doing. Her home was warm and welcoming and Rocco felt comfortable right away. Would highly recommend. Thank you!
Very pleased with Nichole’s care of Lucy. She followed all of my instructions and sent me daily pics and descriptions of Lucy’s activities. Would definitely use Nichole’s services again!!!
Nichole is amazing! I was super nervous to leave Lucy with someone new; but she was so reassuring, and Lu seemed to like her right off. I was updated frequently and was reassured constantly. I'm so glad we found Nichole and will definitely leave Lucy with her, again, in the future! It's like she has a new bestie, for when I am out of town ;-)

Don't forget to let me know your cue words for what you ask them to do. It's a nice gesture to inform us of any naughty habits so we can have a plan of attack. **Such as darting out front doors or knocking over trashcan, etc. :-) We do our best to avoid people food feeding, so if you're super strict on this, let us know!!! Otherwise, please keep in mind, as we are a family with little ones, crumbs happen... We are so excited to help take care of your sweet fur baby!
A typical day
We love to play ball, tug of war, chase and much more with our dog visitors. We love cuddlers! We always have antlers and balls for our canine visitors. If they don't prefer those, please bring a few of their favorite toys in an overnight bag. A blanket or tee shirt that smells like home helps a lot with separation anxiety and comfort. We can't wait to play and cuddle your pup!
