24/7 Dog Mom - Fenced Yard
Pet care experience
UPDATE: I am experienced with all dog medications even shots. My dog MOLLY passed Nov.2020. I have taken care of so many different breeds and love them all I can't decide what type of dog I would want. At this time I'm very happy to just take care of your dog. 24/7 Dog Mom Molly and I love to play in our 8' fenced 1/2 acre backyard. Molly has her own TV room with couches to share with your dog. We love playmates! Molly is a mix lab, very friendly. We enjoy laying in the sun and treats. Doggies have to rooms downstairs and backyard. I work at home so your dog will not be alone more than 3 hours at a time. I brush Molly everyday and we place chase in the yard. I have taken care of dogs for many years and am well trained. House broken too! I have administered medicine, eye drops, and sauve. I am close to veterinary clinics in case of emergency. I hope to offer you peace of mind while you are away and send pictures of your loved one. Why I love dog sitting There has always been a dog in my life, and I am grateful. My last 2 dogs have been rescue dog. My departed Christine of 16 years was a medium size silky boarder collie. I did not think I could get another dog. Then Molly was left on my doorstep. She is a little smaller than me and very opinionated. My dog is my best friend. Dogs require care but the return in friendship is 100 fold. I love all animals but I understand dogs. Meet my pets I live in Brookhaven 3 blocks from Blackburn Park. The back yard is .5 acre fenced 8'. I have been a dog mom most of my life. My dogs have all been different breeds. Just like different children each dog has it's own personality. If your dog is big or little, shy or rambunctious or just likes to be left alone, I am here. I have a play area with couches and toys, and TV. My Molly loves baby TV. My backyard is fenced with lots of trees and a concrete back porch for sunning. If your dog is in the backyard so am I. No unsupervised playing. I love my dog as you love yours and will take care of your dog with all the same as I give Molly. About my yard My backyard is fenced. One gate is locked the other gate has safety latch. I stay in the yard when we have a guest dog. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with medications

Nicky is the best! Our dogs both loved spending the weekend with her and meeting/playing with new dogs! Thank you!
Nicky is a perfectly nice dog sitter, and my dog seemed to have a good time. Nicky was difficult to communicate with; after confirming with her at drop-off that she would send photos to me during my trip and multiple messages sent to her asking for photos/update, I received no communications. This is very important to me while I'm gone.
My pup Nyma always has a great time at Nicky’s. She has several other dogs to play with and the best people to look after her. I had my little skinny Nyma on a special weight gain diet and Nicky was happy to give that to her, update me on any issues, and offer and go through with other solutions. Nicky even ended up sharing her own dinner meats with my Nyma! Can’t thank her enough!
Very disappointed and will not be using this sitter again. We agreed she would pick my dog up at 3pm. When that time came and she didn’t show up, I called, texted, and messaged on Rover. Two hours later when I HAD to leave for the airport, she finally messaged me back and said she would be there within the hour. I specifically told her upon pick up that he has severe food allergies and can ONLY eat what I have provided. Her question to me: “Can I feed him chicken?” At that point I had zero confidence that my dog was going to be properly taken care of. When I was gone, I received no photos or updates. I called and messaged several times, with no answer. Finally she answered and said, “Hunter? Which one is that?”. I was mortified. It’s fine that she is watching several dogs, but she doesn’t even know which one is which. I was extremely stressed the entire time that my dog was not being adequately taken care of. I use Rover often and have never had this issue.

I have a fenced in 1/2 acre backyard. Fence is 8'. When I have dogs in house I stay home. Barring any emergency. this last month It has rained do much that we sit on the floor and play push ball games. I have 4 steel baby-gates so I can separate dogs when they eat, or have any compatible issues. I also provide a pretty good size toy box. All bones are either Nila bones or cow/deer bones. This is a rawhide fee zone!

Information Nicky D. would like to know about your pet
Tell me if your dog has special needs. Tell me about your dogs normal schedule. I also make dog treats so let me know if grain or peanuts or weight problems are a concern. I usually give treats one on one to avoid the scramble.
A typical day
At this time I don't include dog walking in my services. Your dog's sleeping arrangement There are couches and dog beds. I encourage owners to bring their pet beds, if their dogs need that. I also have some dog beds . Time I'll spend with your dog About 8-12 hours, Then I sleep :)
