Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Nicole. My family and I are work from home and big animal lovers with over 20 years of pet care experience. We've spent time and cared for dogs and cats, including my beloved Yorkie who lived happily for 18 years (2002-2021). While our heart isn't ready for my own pup, we’re eager to share my love by pets on Rover! If this if your first time booking, please message me for $20 off your first booking! 🐾 Tailored care: As a former pet owner, I understand the nerves of entrusting a sitter with your dog. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual pet (no one-size-fits-all mindset over here!) 🏡 Spacious & Enclosed Environment: Working from home ensures continuous companionship. Our 5,150 sqft lot, along with a fully enclosed backyard and gated front yard, offers a secure area for play and relaxation. 🎓 Specialized Expertise: Whether it's training lively puppies or providing gentle care for senior dogs, our experience spans all life stages. We can follow detailed instructions for your pet's schedule and needs. 🌳 Proximity to Nature: Your pets will enjoy the outdoors with two parks just a 5-minute walk away. Regular walks and playtime both indoors and outdoors 👫 Duo Caretakers: With 4 people in the household, you pet will not be short of attention and affection! I will be the primary caretakers and the ones to communicate with you and share photos daily 💤 Sleeping Arrangements: Pets are welcome to make themselves at home on the first floor, and they can even sleep on the couch if they like, while us humans are upstairs for the evening
Reviews
Coco’s second stay with Nicole & Aaron and she had the best time. Super well cared for and received LOTS of love and cuddles. Will definitely stay here again!
Nicole and Aaron looked after my baby for 2 weeks and they did a great job. Nicole sent photos daily and I could tell from the photos that Della was settling in well. Della needed to be taken out frequently and Nicole made sure Della got her potty breaks. Aaron gave extra attention to make sure Della got good night sleep. I was at ease during my 2 week vacation and didn't have to worry at all. I knew Della was being looked after well. I will definitely be reaching out to them for another boarding.
We had the best experience with Nicole & Aaron. They were attentive to our older dogs' needs and sent us adorable updates and pics while we were away. We would definitely leave our pets with them again.
Thank you so much Nicole and Aaron. You and your family were the best dog sitters ever. Your home is a very dog friendly and safe place. We felt so comfortable after dropping her off. You kept us updated with so many photos and videos while in your care. We could tell Chi was happy to be with you in your home. We will definitely rebook with you again and again.

A typical day
Playful Exercise Sessions: From interactive games and fetch to tug-of-war, I tailor playtime to suit each pet's preferences. You can let me know what their favorite game or toy is! Frequent Walks: Our proximity to the park means your pet will enjoy regular walks in a refreshing outdoor environment. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I'm committed to keeping your pet active and exploring the great outdoors. Customized Feeding & Treats: Understanding that each pet is unique, I adhere to specific dietary needs. Let me know how much to feed them and how often, and if they have specific treats. Additionally, if your pet requires medication, I am experienced in administering it with care (as we've had our own senior dog in the past!) Photo and Video Updates: Stay connected with your pet throughout the day! I provide regular photo and video updates, ensuring you don't miss out on any adorable moments or activities your pet is enjoying under my care. Snuggles: 3 folks in this household work from home! Your pet will always have plenty of cuddles throughout the day and can cozy up on the couch with us in the evening
