Your Pet’s Home Away from Home!
Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 13. Dog sitting since I was a teenager was a regular occurrence and I’ve just kept it up. From puppies to senior special needs dogs, I have extensive experience caring for a variety of breeds, young and old, big and small, sick and well. I'll love your pets like my own!
Reviews
Nicole always takes great care of Apollo! He's SO excited to see her and she accommodates our care requests.
Thank you so much! ❤️🩷❤️
This is the second time Nicole has watched our dog and 2 cats and she is wonderful! All 3 of my girls were excited to see her again and they felt very comfortable with her. She had no problem implementing our feeding routines and giving each of them attention. I loved all of the photo updates as well. We would love to have her watch them again!
I love Nicole! Or should I say Chloe loves Nicole! For a first time Rover user, I am extremely pleased with my experience with Nicole! First time leaving my baby Chloe for 6 days and Nicole made every step simple and easy! Nicole’s communication led me to feel extremely comfortable and her daily report cards melted my heart to see how great Chloe was doing while I was out of town really made the trip an ease! I will 100% rebook with Nicole as she made this experience wonderful for both Chloe and I. Thank you for loving on our Chloe Ann!

Boarding Info: my goal is to make my home an extension of yours. If your dog is used to being crated, I have extra crates. If they’re used to free sleeping on the couch, they will sleep on the couch. If they need daily walks, they will have daily walks. If they want to lay around my fenced in yard, they are more than welcome. My home is their home! I only take one family’s pets at a time so I can give more individual attention and that “home away from home” experience. I have everything your dog could need, all you need to supply is your dog, food, and meds! My dog gets along great with all animals but I do feed separately and keep them separated when I’m not around for everyone’s safety. All dogs must be fixed, house trained, and up to date on their rabies vaccine. Drop offs and picks ups must be scheduled for a half hour window between 7am and 8pm. Rest assured you will receive daily updates and pictures/videos during your dogs stay! Dog Walking: I will not walk dogs more than a quick potty break when it is below 20 degrees or blizzard like conditions. I don't feel that is safe for either your pet or myself. I will provide plenty of play time and enrichment activities indoors during those extra cold winter days. You can take comfort in knowing that in addition to Rovers protections, I am also insured with Pet Care Insurance. PLEASE READ in response to the canine upper respiratory mystery illness: Being proactive is in the best interest of your dogs and mine. If your dog is showing any signs such as excessive coughing, runny eyes, lethargy, and not wanting to eat, please contact your vet immediately. Please stay away from dog parks or stores before your dog’s stay with us, no grooming or use of other boarding facilities within 2 weeks prior to their stay. The less your dogs come in contact with other dogs the better. We clean and disinfect everything in our home.

Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet
Please share as much information as possible with me! What commands do you use? What’s their normal schedule? Any triggers or behavior issues I should be watching for? What are their likes and dislikes? The more information I have the better prepared I am to make your dogs stay as comfortable as possible! I understand each dog is different and will adjust how I handle and interact with each dog based on their needs and personality. I will have you fill out an intake form prior to dog boarding so I can be prepared to care for your animals as best as possible!
A typical day
I love to play with your dogs - we have a variety of dog puzzles and toys - and we love to go on walks, play fetch in the backyard, and explore the park around the corner! We also love to snuggle up at the end of the day and give lots of pets and belly rubs! I’ve even built a dog cubby in the living room so your dog can snuggle up in there if they want their own space. ?
