If our pup could write this review herself, it would be full of tail wags! She had the best time with Nicole and her sweet pups, Chloe and Bella! They became fast friends for endless playtime. She was spoiled with chew toys, treats, snuggles, hugs, and kisses, and we got daily photos, videos, and sweet updates so we could share in the fun from afar. We could tell she felt completely loved and right at home! We would definitely book with Nicole again!

Nicole was fantastic - she is very communicative, understands the dogs very well, and our Harleigh really loved her and her home. Her backyard is a paradise for dogs. We really would love Harleigh to spend more time with her, and Harleigh agrees!

Argo is a handful and still learning, and Nicole is so patient and kind with him and helps with his training! She’s a lifesaver when something comes up and I have to leave him at home, and always asks how he’s doing in between visits.

Boba had a great time at Nicole’s hanging out with new friends. Nicole took good care of Boba and sent lots of pics throughout his stay, which we appreciated.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a three story townhome with a small enclosed balcony and a small patio that is not enclosed. There’s plenty of quiet paths near by to take your pup on a walk and sniff for bunnies. When I visit your home to care for your beloved companion, you can rest assured that they will be in safe hands. I will ensure their nourishment, safety, and happiness, as well as keeping your home secure while you’re gone.

Pets

A typical day

Happy to bring my dog to come socialize with yours, basic training lessons, walking around the neighborhood, playing with toys, fetch, etc. I believe in positive reinforcement training and will practice that with your dog or puppy.

I love to know if your dog or cat is friendly with other dogs, potty trained, reactive, or exhibits guarding behavior around food or toys, it’s crucial to be aware of any other behavior issues they may have. Additionally, knowing if the dog pulls excessively on walks, has separation anxiety, barks excessively, or displays any aggression towards people or other animals is essential for providing appropriate care. Understanding their specific medical needs, favorite treats or toys, and grooming requirements should also be noted. It is valuable to learn about the key commands the dog knows. This will help me speak their language as well as help practice these commands with them. Lastly, being aware of their feeding and bathroom schedule. This will help me provide the best care possible.
