Pet care experience
Your Pet's Best Friend for Care!
As an experienced animal lover, I have cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and horses. I believe in positive reinforcement training (and fun tricks), feeding, walking, and playtime. I am capable of administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and providing brushing services. You can trust me to ensure your pet’s well-being, with regular updates and plenty of adorable pictures. Rest assured that your furry friend will receive the utmost attention and care.

Ratings and reviews
Nicole and her pups were so great with our dog! Nicole was flexible and communicative. Highly recommend!
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 wonderful. Our cat Finnick warned up to her quickly. We will definitely call on her 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.

Schedule
Now welcoming new boarding and doggy day care clients! I work from home, so your pup gets company all day instead of long stretches alone, plus frequent walks on the quiet paths near my home (lots of bunnies to sniff for). Your dog will have two playmates: my Australian doodles, who are very dog-friendly and love a new buddy. With a background in the equestrian industry, caring for animals has always been part of my life. My home is a three-story townhome with a small enclosed balcony and a small open patio, where all outdoor time is supervised and on leash. I'm flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and send photo updates throughout every stay.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
There’s plenty of quiet paths near by to take your pup on a walk and sniff for squirrels. I will always keep your dog leashed on walks, provide a harness if that helps the dog walk easier, plenty of beds, couches, and floor to nap on. I do have a lot of toys but tend to keep them hidden when we have other four legged visitors to avoid conflict. Your pup will come home happy and tired from the day!
Pets
A typical day
Lots of treats, sitting outside, 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.
