Private home away from home care.
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.
Reviews
Boo just had another great day at Nicole's. She's so thoughtful and caring, and again had some wonderful suggestions for us about Boo's care here at home. It's so reassuring for us to know that we can spend a day (or days) away from Boo and feel so confident that he's in such good hands.
Toula had a wonderful over night with Nicole. I am confident enough of her care to book a number of days with her.
Nicole was fabulous with our puppy, Boo. From our initial "meet and greet" through the 10-hour day Boo spent with her, Nicole was thoughtful, warm, and wonderfully sensitive to his needs, which given just how "puppy" Boo is, takes a lot of experience and doggie understanding. Her set-up, both indoors and out, is terrific...and so safe. And she sent us pics throughout the day. She even made some VERY helpful training suggestions. It was Boo's first time away from home and he clearly had a great day...and so did we, knowing the kind of care he was getting.
Nicole and her dog Bowie are great! So glad to have met them. We’ll be back. I couldn’t keep Penny away. She had so much fun and was well cared for.

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). The fine print :( 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 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.

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.

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 human bed for your dog to sleep. If they do not like to sleep alone you can request that I stay in the same room. I limit my guests to 4 dogs and accommodate no more than three clients at a time. I give a discount for multiple pets. I have a large 8 year old Labrador who can be kept completely separate or can be a playmate for your dog. Vetting process required.
