Sweet Sitter Providing Loving Care

### 🐾 Your Dog’s Home Away From Home ❤️ **Private doggy daycare and boarding in a calm, loving home environment—ideal for dogs who prefer individual attention over crowded daycare.** I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else. Your dog is family, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they are safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I **work from home**, which means your pup gets plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods of time. I’m able to give each dog the individual attention, affection, potty breaks, playtime, and rest they need. ### ❤️ Experienced, Loving & Trustworthy I’ve been an animal lover and caregiver since I was a little girl and was a devoted dog owner for **16 years**. I personally cared for my senior dog, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and compassion that older dogs may need. I also have experience with **medications and special-needs care**, and I’m comfortable following detailed instructions to help your dog maintain their normal routine. Over the years, I’ve also become a **trusted pet sitter for friends and their beloved animals**. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big responsibility, and I take that trust seriously. And yes—I **LOVE puppies!** 🐶💕 I’m happy to provide the extra patience, playtime, supervision, and affection that puppies need. ### 🏡 Calm, Private & Personalized Care I intentionally offer a more personal alternative to traditional, crowded doggy daycare. Rather than putting your pup into a large group environment, I focus on creating a **comfortable, calm home-away-from-home experience** tailored to your dog's personality and needs. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or simply happiest curled up beside someone, I’ll get to know what makes them comfortable. ### 🌴 Walks, Play & Beach Life I live close to the beach and absolutely love getting outside. If your dog enjoys walks, exploring, and getting some exercise, I’m happy to incorporate **walks and visits to local dog parks** when appropriate for their personality, energy level, and your preferences. Of course, I’ll always follow your instructions regarding exercise, socialization, and what your dog is comfortable with. ### 🐾 I Follow Your Dog’s Routine I know that consistency helps dogs feel secure, especially when they're away from home. I’m happy to follow your instructions for: • Meals and feeding schedules • Treats and favorite snacks • Walks and exercise • Potty breaks • Medications • Special-needs care • Nap and sleep schedules • Favorite toys and activities • Anxiety or behavioral considerations • Any special routines that make your dog feel at home ### 📱 You’ll Never Have to Wonder How They’re Doing I’ll keep you updated during your dog's stay and am happy to send **photos and videos** so you can see how your pup is doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away without constantly worrying about your dog. Before your first stay, I’d love to learn about your dog— their personality, routine, energy level, favorite things, sensitivities, and anything else that helps me give them the best possible experience. **Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own.** ❤️🐾 Feel free to contact me with any questions! I’d love to meet you and your pup and see if we’re a good fit.

Nikki has watched my dogs for over 12 years. I obviously have the utmost trust in her to be using her services for this long. She also loves and give them so much affection which is extremely important to my husband and I when we’re gone. Anyone would be lucky to have her.

Nicole has taken the most excellent care of my little feisty pup, for years now! First and foremost, she's a fellow dog mom herself, and understands how much our pups mean to us...they are a family member. Anytime I've asked her to dog sit my little one, whether it's a simple walk, or to be at my place for weeks, I have returned to my place being spotless, and just how I left it. Most importantly, I come back to my pup being happy, looking great, and kind of sad when Nicole leaves (which is a good thing). I can't recommend Nicole enough to be a pet caregiver. She's the best person for the job!

Nicole was the sweetest pet sitter we could have ever asked for! We have been boarding our pup with her every time we go out of town for the past 2 years, and we couldn't be happier. She is truly one of the most caring and loving people to take care of our baby. She made sure he received his vet-prescribed vitamins every morning, kept him active throughout the day (he can be very needy!), and sent regular photo updates that gave us complete peace of mind. I cannot recommend Nicole enough. Your baby will be in wonderful, loving hands!

Schedule

I'm currently freelance and work remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible. I live a block away from the beach, so it is easy for me to take the dogs on walks to the beach.
