Currently, I am focused only on dog sitting. Although I tend to schedule tasks when I am not caring for a dog, if I need to run an errand, pups are never left alone for more than one to two hours.

Experienced, dependable Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I grew up loving dogs, in fact, my older sibling was our family German Shepard! She made sure I was safe, and I made sure she was well loved! I understand how important four-legged family members are. I will provide your fur baby with the same level of care I would want for my own. I LOVE dogs and they love me! I have owned and cared for a full range of dogs. You can feel relaxed with your pet in my care, whether a baby or mature pet, I’ve handled them all! Also, as an experienced foster mom, I am fully comfortable and capable of handling newly adopted or foster dogs, and shy/timid dogs. I have no breed or size restrictions. All furry friends are welcome! Whatever you and your pet need, I am here to help.

A great holiday stay! We received tons of updates and pictures all week, and Lucy was spoiled with tons of treats (above and beyond the full bag she arrived with). Lots of dog love in Nicole's house. Thank you!

Nicole is awesome and takes such good care of our nervous pup. She also sends lots of updates (including pictures) throughout the stay.

Nicole did an amazing job taking care of Shiba Inu Skippy! He is a finicky one year old with a big personality and Nicole made sure to understand and attend to all his needs! From exciting walks and adventures, to administration of medicine, I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that Skippy was in good hands! Nicole’s home is not only dog safe, but is also extremely dog friendly with comfy sleeping areas, tons of toys, enrichment, long line leads, and ice/lick mats. I appreciated Nicole’s nurturing personality and frequent updates. You can tell that she truly loves dogs and enjoys caring for them!! I cannot recommend her enough.
