always home & flexible booking

Pet care experience

FOR SAFETY REASONS, NO SERVICES WILL BE BOOKED FOR PETS WITHOUT THEIR PROFILE FILLED OUT. I have over 10 years of dog/house sitting, with up to 5 pets from the same owner, at a time (including birds, pigs, porqupines, fish, hamsters/gerbils/Guinea pigs, and geckos). I grew up around dogs my entire life and currently have a teen golden Retriever who is my best friend. I am always home and have flexible booking as well. I have experience with dogs who suffer with separation anxiety, have physical disabilities, epilepsy/seizures, deafness, blindness, & senior dogs. If your dog loves to swim, our in-home pup resort has a state of the art, beach entry pool, perfect for those who want to run right in, or just dip their paws in. For those puppies who are new to the pool & need swimming classes, our house president (my mom) can offer private swimming lessons during their vacation stay. (PLEASE NOTE POOL ACCESS IS ONLY AVAILABLE DURING THE SUMMER, AT OUR SUMMER-TIME LOCATION). We also have plenty of toys for your puppy’s choosing. Not a fan of toys? Our housekeeping has pillows and blankets a-plenty for a nice relaxing day of chilling. We offer free, unlimited, daily massages, with free filtered water! Your fur child needing some exercise? Our gym offers a treadmill for a light walk if they know how, or we can go for a stroll in the garden for some fresh air (aka a walk around the neighborhood). Age appropriate, educational television can be provided all day as well. Looking for some mental stimulation? We have plenty of games we can try out to work that big doggy noggin!

Nicole was great!!! I had never used such a service before and was so blessed to find her. It was kinda last minute and Nicole was great in communication and making us and our pups feel at ease. She kept us updated throughout her care with photos and text. Our pups appeared to have enjoyed their stay and came home happy. I really am so thankful for her kindness and great care, I can’t say enough. Plus, our pups made us a special something with Nicole’s help… such a great touch!!

Nicole was awesome!! I contacted her last minute to come check on my pup who had recently had surgery and needed special care. She took great care of her and kept me updated. Definitely recommend!

I have a super friendly Golden your babies can play with. While staying at my house, unless specified, all visiting furends (friends 😜) will not be allowed on the furniture. When staying at your house, I will follow whichever rules you give. My dog is very much my family, & it’s important to me to always make sure they’re loved & know it. I would love to spoil your fur babies!
