Sadly it has come to the point i must add this. Please respond to me after i send you a response on your request. I understand if you have to figure things out. But i shouldn’t be figuring out whether you want to book or not on the day of just because you don't feel like texting back. From This point on after 48 hours of no response the request will be archived. I apologize for any inconvenience but it makes if difficult to know how many spots i have or to know if i can accommodate another dog. I work from home as a dog trainer. I absolutely adore working with different dog breeds and getting to learn more about body language and the different styles of play and communication between each ones. Im always happy to take care of your furry friend and give them the love and care that they deserve while you are out of town or just need a break from them. I would like to make it clear that our texting hours are between 9am-9pm. Before or after that you will receive a text message the next morning after 9. Updates are usually given every other night around last potty time and are sent with pics/vids as well as a brief written update of how it is going. Occasionally i will send more updates if they are doing something really cute.

Due to the amount of times this has happened. I will be adding a $5 late fee once an hour has passed from pickup without communication. Communicating is one thing just not picking up your dog is another. I have both dogs and cats at our house. I am well versed at making sure everyone gets along and separating those who don’t. If you have a dog that doesn’t do well with other dogs never fear, they can have their own area to get away from our pets or other rover dogs.

Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet

MOST IMPORTANTLY i need vaccination records. I have people come to me with puppies and if your dogs are not vaccinated it can put them at risk. Medical information is the first and foremost. I need allergies, medications, things like that. The last thing we need is your loved one to get sick because i didnt know what they were allergic to or what they needed. I love to know breed just because i love obsessing over small details and i get excited learning new things about different breeds.

A typical day

I love to take dogs to the park down the street from my house for some outside run around time. For dogs who don't have recall i have a long line that they can safely run around on. I love using enrichment bowls and toys for mental stimulation. Honestly my day currently consists of taking care of dogs and working with training dogs.

I really appreciate Nicole watching our boys while we were OOT. I am only giving a 4/5 instead of a 5/5 due to the fact when our boys got home they ran to the water bowl and downed about 3 bowls right there. They stunk REALLY bad, sort of like dead animal and when we went to give them a bath they were covered in fleas. Overall though they were pooped out which means they had fun, no markings from dog fighting, no illness they came home with, Nicole was great at keeping us updated, and our dogs LOVED her and we could tell just based on how our older boy with a bubble acted towards her. :) Thanks again!!!!

Dogs seemed very comfortable and happy. They looked great when we picked them up. Nicole did a great job and really helped us out on a quick weekend getaway!
