Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard with my 2 loving labs and Mini Pin/Chihuahua who will gladly provide playtime with your furry friend if your pups head to my house. If caring for your pup at your home, safety is of the upmost importance to me. Meeting your pup ahead of the stay is almost always a must; ensuring the dog is leashed when needed; food is up and out of reach; and of course, lots of playtime. If kenneling is needed, that’s not a problem and can be accommodated if at my home. If some individual time or space is needed for your pup while watching them at my home, I can happily keep my dogs in a different area of the home until their settle down again. I do have a 3 year old who I stay home with, so your pup must be good with kids. My son does know how to treat dogs, so rest assured your furry friend will be in good hands!

Information Nicole C. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know some basic information about your pup before sitting for them which I listed below. Also, please ensure your pup is up to date on their shots/vaccines, especially if coming to my house to play for doggie daycare or overnight stays. I greatly appreciate it! How do they interact with people & other dogs? Are they friendly? Do they like kids? Do they pull on their walks? Do they bark when playing with you or other dogs? Do they love their backs or stomach’s scratched? Do you win them over with a treat?! Do they like to chase rabbits, squirrels or birds? Are they food aggressive at all? Do they listen when called, and do they know their name? Any other information you think would be helpful for me while watching your pup, please let me know! Anything I can do to make your pup happy and more comfortable while you're away always makes for an easier stay.

A typical day

We can go on walks around the neighborhood, playing tug a war is always fun, or just having the pup run around after me always helps to get their energy out! Playing fetch is typically a favorite, and that can be done at your house during a drop in visit or at my house in the backyard. If you'd like me to talk your pup on a walk during a visit, that's no problem and something that just needs to be discussed ahead of time.

Pet care experience

I love dogs of all age and size! ! I have had dogs ever since I was a little girl. I don’t know what it is about them, but I have a special bond with them. They always seem to find me, and it’s as if they’re drawn to me, or vise versa! Magic right?! 😋 Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and have brought happiness to my day. I currently have 3 dogs; 2 black Labs and a mini pincher(he’s a newbie). Their ages are 6, 9, & 10. My daughter jokes because the dogs always follow me around the house no matter what I’m doing & she wants to know how she can get them to do that with her. See, Magic! Just kidding, they just know I’m the dog whisperer. Given my history with having dogs basically my entire life so far, I know how to brush, bathe, clean their ears, trim their nails, brush their teeth, etc. all the things. Walking, petting, snuggling, talking to them; I do it all. I’ve always had a passion for animals, and want to continue to follow that passion to see where it takes me in the future. My passion and love for dogs shows, and I'd be super excited at the chance to drop by and play with your pup if you're at work, gone for a long weekend, or just needing a break and your pup needs an extra walk for the day. If you have any questions for me or want to know anything else please don’t hesitate to ask. I hope I get the chance to help if you’re in need, and would love to set up a meet and greet to get aquatinted with your furry family member!

Nicole and her family were amazing! I booked very last minute, but they were so accommodating and welcoming. Tilly had such a fantastic time! We will definitely be reaching out to Nicole again for our dogsitting needs.
