Pawsome Retreat

Pet care experience

ABOUT ME I’m Nicole. I LOVE all dogs from young to old, small too big. Dogs have always been in my life starting at Lackland Airforce Base as a vet tech, fostering, rescuing, volunteering, dog sitting, dog walking, too having my own fur balls! I have been a life-long dog owner of various breeds and mixes. I have a dog who is very friendly with other dogs and would love to have a companion to play with. I would love to care for your animals while you are unable to take them on trips! I can't imagine life without dogs, before joining Rover, I had my dog pass a way at 14 years old and wasn’t ready to get a new dog. This is when I joined as a sitter on Rover over 4 years ago. I provide affordable pricing, and most importantly your fur ball will be loved as if they are my own! With over 15 years of experience, involving with caring, volunteering, fostering dogs, I’m committed to providing a loving and caring home and most importantly put your mind at ease with pictures and updates regularly. My mission is letting you know your dog is in great hands while you are away and both you and your dogs have a great experience. A lot of my clients are repeats and some are not, but they do empathize to me there pets are so exhausted when they go home and they can tell they had a great time! I have high expectations meeting your requests and your pet’s needs. References are available. For more information please contact me for further information. I look forward meeting you and your lovable, beautiful furry animals! * Please text me 15 minutes prior to arrival and pick up * Only booking stays for 2 nights or more currently * If your plans change, please notify me within 24 hours. DOGS WHO ARE GOOD FIT: Dogs who are fully updated on all shots and proof of vaccination record provided prior to booking. Fully potty trained, and not ill during time of booking. Dogs updated on Flea treatments ** Please keep in mind- Dogs who are excessive barkers will not be a good fit. I must be mindful of my neighbors.

Zeus was so exhausted when I picked him up! He was on a mini vacation of his own and he loved the company. Nicole provided pictures and updates and she was always very prompt. If we get the chance to have Zeus stay again he would love it.

Nicole is incredible!!! Our two dogs were really happy and excited to spend time with her. Whenever we come back to san antonio we will definitely consider her to take care of our pups. The communication was fantastic and I was at ease all the time knowing that Lua and Jake were happy and chilled.
