Pet care experience

Exclusive: Your dog, our ONLY guest

Specializing in one guest only with no other pets in the home. We only accept one guest at a time (siblings permitted). By focusing on boarding 1 guest, this allows for a more relaxing calm atmosphere, a true home-away-from-home experience for your loving dog. UPDATE: We sadly said goodbye to our beloved Doodle, Zoe. She was our heart for nearly 14 years. Our home is however still open to guests and is ideal for those that are looking for no other pets in the home. Hello! My name is Nicole, I am a resident in Newmarket and an entrepreneur. Our family runs successful businesses from our home which means we are home when your dog says with us. We have been dog owners for 25 years and have been running our dog sitting business for over 8 years. My daughter Lily started her dog daycare business in 2016 visiting the neighbor’s dog for potty breaks and playtime. Our entire family offers a loving home environment to our guests. Limited space is available to ensure our home is relaxing and that our guests receive all the attention they deserve. We do not board multiple dogs at once, and limit visit overlap to ensure your dog is in a calm and relaxed environment. All our guests are well cared for and receive lots of outdoor playtime in our secure & safe backyard, on-leash walks on park trails (no driving required), lots of playtime in our uncluttered home, and lots of love and attention from our entire family. Our overnight guests often sleep with us in our beds. 🙂 Our guests become part of our family. Exclusive Overnight Dog Boarding Includes. • One Guest At A Time - no other pets in the home • Playtime, cuddles & lots of love • Park path walking right from our front door. No driving your pet is required. • Secure yard for our dogs to play • Gated front porch for added security (upon request) • We do not crate our guests (unless requested) • Guest enjoy our home freely as if it was their own. All dogs in our care are screened to ensure they will fit in well with our family.

Our dog Eddie stayed with Nicole and her family for two weeks. This was the longest we ever left him with someone that wasn't family. Nicole put us right at ease with her regular photos and updates on Eddie. He came home happy and not stressed. We would definitely leave Eddie with her again and recommend Nicole for anyone else looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

This was our first time leaving our pup with anyone overnight. Nicole was patient and understanding with Penny and ensured I was kept in the loop throughout the visit with regular updates and pictures. Penny seemed to have fun and enjoyed the company of Nicole and her family. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a sitter.
