Dogs are my soulmates

I recently had to say good-bye to my 16.5 yo soulmate Jagger. Jagger had many health issues from his puppy years to his senior years which I financed (with ZERO hesitation 🥰) & managed daily. I feel that I learned so much from his various healthcare issues that can carry over into caring for your loving soulmate. I am experienced in anything from eye/eardrops, administering oral medications, and even insulin injections. I also successfully crate trained Jagger as a puppy and feel that this kept him to be a calm, independent, and happy dog well into his senior years. I have no children so I have lots of time and space to devote to your beloved pets. I am looking forward to opening my home to them and sharing my love with your dogs (or cats) who may be in need of a safe space while you are away. There are also many lovely parks, beaches, lakes and trail adventures for your dog to experience in my neighborhood and I look forward to sharing all of them with your pets!

Nicole is amazing! My usually nervous dog warmed up to her immediately, and based on the photos/videos of all their adventures, I don’t think he missed me one bit :D. I would highly recommend booking with her if your pet is shy around new people, she’s truly great with dogs! 10/10

Nicole has a genuine gift for caring for animals. I was worried about leaving our two rescue dogs for the first time with someone other than family. She surpassed my expectations by being the absolute best caregiver! We received daily communication and photos of our boys playing, on trail walks, and snuggling up with Nicole. She agreed to a meet-and-greet, and we set up a play afternoon before we left. Communication and organization was stellar! She truly put my worries at ease, and we were able to have a great vacation knowing that our boys were well-cared for. When we picked them up, Nicole even sent us home with some toys that our dogs took a liking to at her house. You can feel that Nicole truly cares for your dogs like they are her own. She put a lot of effort into understanding and accommodating our dog's needs and quirks. Hands-down the best dog sitter I've ever had. Otto and Leo will be back! Otto and Leo send kisses and a big Thank You!

We booked Nicole for 10 days in July. We were very apprehensive about leaving Max as he was a rescue doggie and we had never left him with anyone before. We were so happy and impressed with the love and care Nicole showed Max. She went above and beyond any expectations we had. Nicole messaged and sent videos on a daily basis. They went on lots of great walks together and she really was attentive to all the things Max liked. Over and over she went above and beyond!! Nicole’s love of dogs shone through, and she was so informative when we asked for any advice. We would highly recommend Nicole,and we will certainly be asking her to take care of Max again.

Nicole took such amazing care of our babies. She was super attentive and went above and beyond for them during their 3 day stay with her. They did lots of walks, playtime and snuggles. With one high energy dog and one timid dog, Nicole was able to meet both of their needs and kept me updated the entire time. 💞
