Availability

The care I provide will be specific to your pets needs. Their comfort and well-being are paramount to me. I will make sure to provide your dog with outdoor exercise, indoor games, puzzles and comfortable spaces to nap. For overnight visits I can provide a couch, a crate, a kennel, or a futon for your dog to sleep. If they do not like to sleep alone you can request that I stay in the same room. I am capable of accommodating four dogs at a time. Doggy meet and greet may be required to insure the best stay for all dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard where your dog(s) can relax in the sun or shade. I have three other larger fenced in areas for running, ball throwing and exploration. Altogether we have 12 acres to explore (on leash). Your pets safety is very important to me. I require a Meet and Greet for all clients. Vaccination information should be provided before the stay. I am insured. Dog day care price is for care up to 10 hours, prorated $10 per hour after that. Any pick up after 10PM will incur an additional $25 fee. Late pick-ups (boarders or daycare)will incur an additional $20 per hour fee Private, solo, constant care is offered subject to availability. Specialty care is an additional cost determined at meet and greet.. +$25-75 per day.. Discount offered for multiple pets.

Information Nicole C. would like to know about your pet

The more information I have the better. I have a form you can fill out or, if you prefer, we can just discuss your pets needs, dislikes, likes, fears, habits, routines, food etc.

A typical day

Your dog can expect: Ball throwing, playing in a huge yard, hikes in the woods, walks down the dead end road (if leash trained), relaxing in the sun, tackling treat puzzles and snuggles on the couch (if owner approved). I can spend time reinforcing your training using your commands and positive reinforcement. My 9 year old dog, Bowie loves to pal around with mellow dogs exploring the yard but will also act like a puppy with friendly playful dogs.

Pet care experience

I am so happy to be able to provide the kind of care that I have sought for my own pets in the past. My experience includes working as a dog walker, in home pet sitter and working reception at a veterinary hospital. I have also owned dogs and cats for 40+ years. I’ve attended obedience classes and have passed the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid online course.

I am a Nicole frequent flyer. Rover needs to invent a six-star rating system just for her. You honestly couldn't ask for better care for your dog.

I’ve lost count how many times Didi has stayed with Nicole and she was well loved and cared as always. 💕

Nicole was great! She was very attentive to my dog and her needs. She sent lots of pictures so that we could see that my dog was having fun while we were away. I will definitely feel comfortable leaving my dog there again.
