Pet care experience
With 15+ years of experience with pups in my world, I am more than excited to be a part of the Rover family. Dogs are my absolute favorite, and I currently have 2 furbabies... I cant imagine life without them! A little about me: I am completely dog obsessed!! I grew up wanting a line-up of 5 large breed dogs (Golden, Lab, Husky, Bernese Mtn Dog, Greyhound) and have since, threw this idea completely out the window because I’ve came to the realization that I truly do love ALL dogs! Size, shape, breed, color, you name it... it doesn’t matter! To me, they’re all amazing and I can’t wait to meet your pup. My elkhound/daschund mix, Bella, is a rescue who is a little skittish, and prefers to be a Lone Ranger most times. She’s complete princess who loves to nap, be outside & chew on one of her 20+ bones. My pug, Hamilton, is the old man of the roost who loves any/everything that moves, is completely treat obsessed and lives for all the cuddles. As a side note, our pug has recently developed some hip issues, and we unfortunately can no longer accommodate high energy dogs, so sorry!!! Just make sure prior to sending a request to service your pup(s) in my home, that your dog(s) are sociable and get along with all breeds to ensure our stay is safe and successful. During the week, I’m in and out for other clients, so be sure that your pet is okay to be left alone for a few hours if boarding with us. When I do have to step out for another client, I have a puppy camera, and when I check in on the crew, they’re normally snoozing in their crates or on the couch, which in my mind, is great because everyone benefits from a much needed nap to revamp. I have my own LLC, called Furever Friends, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. My focus remains providing all pet cares, as well as chauffeuring/handling pets to and from bridal events, I LOVE IT! Clients will be transitioned here once established : ) Expect lots of pup pics and videos while your dog is with with me. I host a lot of repeat pups, especially on weekends, so get your pup ready for loads of fun and socialization if boarding /day caring with us. I reside in a home with the perfect fenced in backyard, so your furry friend(s) can come visit, make new friends of his/her own, and enjoy our wonderful dog world. If your pup enjoys runs/walks, please let me know, as my pups and I frequent the neighborhood blocks & dog parks during the week and weekends. When boarding your pup at my home, I will of course, treat your dog like my own. I just ask that you bring their favorite dog bed or toy/blanket to make them feel more at home while with me. If you pup requires special instructions (teeth brushing before bedtime, daily medication administration, ear cleaning, etc.), just let me know and I would be more than happy to assist while your furry friend is staying with me. Make sure to bring any special treats and food your pup may need/enjoy while under my care. Don’t forget to bring their food dish to keep things clear and concise for all the pups during meal times. If your pup is crate trained, or needs to be crated when you leave during the week, please let me know, as consistency is key. Their favorite tennis ball or frisbee is also encouraged, but if you forget one, fear not, I have more than enough to go around! Please remember when sending a first time request for boarding, I need at least a few days notice to ensure a meet and greet can be scheduled prior to me accepting the booking. This is required to ensure that all of the pups mesh well together and we can go over care questions prior to having your pup stay over. All boarder/ day care pups must have updated vaccinations. New walk/drop in clients also need to be booked in advance so I can come meet you and your pup(s) in order to go over any/all pertinent information. Our drop off/pick up hours are 7am-7pm. Extended hours can be applied if available. To help make your decision a little less stressful and easy when booking, I offer a few perks. First, I offer discounted rates for multi-pet bookings from the same family. Second, because I have 2 pups of my own, it’s like a 2-for-1... doggy day care comes automatically when boarding your pup in my home, with tons of puppy lovins’ and socialization time. Third, I know everyone’s schedule gets a little hectic at times, so if you need a pick up or drop off, I can assist with this as one of my add on services. If your pup has a little too much fun in the backyard (as mine frequently do) and happens to roll in a perfect pile of mud, no worries!!! I can give your pup a bath before they’re back in your care as an add on service... Just let me know if your pup has any skin allergies, or for some odd reason cannot use hypoallergenic shampoo. In my mind, a world without dogs, is no world at all. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend. Cheers, Nicole
Reviews
Nicole was absolutely AMAZING! I'm new to the area as was very nervous about leaving my fur kids with just anyone. She eased my fears by sending lots of pictures and videos during her visits. Even my always scared cat loved her. Definitely will use her again.
We can’t speak highly enough about Nicole and our experience with her boarding our two dogs. Nicole responded quickly from moment one, setting up a meet and greet to ensure our dogs were a good fit for her services and her own dogs. She took notes and asked detailed questions about their routines, personalities, and feeding schedules. We had a travel change last minute and Nicole was flexible and responsive, taking in our dogs early. We booked with Nicole for a week and each day, we received a dozen or more videos and pictures of our pups playing, exercising, snoozing, and being loved on by Nicole. She kept us updated on their behavior, eating, and interactions with the other dogs. Nicole is thoughtful, detail oriented, and has a clear passion and love for her “clients”; our pups are homesick for her already, we can tell. We strongly recommend Nicole and feel so lucky to have found her!
Nicole was fabulous! I have 2 dogs and one is a giant breed (half Dane, half Bernard) that’s 157lbs at a year old. I always worry about him being too much for other to handle, but Nicole is an absolute pro! I’m already recommending her to the other Dane owners I know! ❤️ Will definitely be calling her in the future!
Nicole did an amazing job! She was so great with our pups, communicated well, was flexible, sent lots of photos, and even brought in our packages! We would absolutely recommend Nicole!

Consistency is key for my pups and I. When caring for your pets in my home, I like to keep it as similar as possible to mimic the care you provide. This in turn makes the pups feel more than comfortable, making for healthy happy pups. Same idea for walks, drop ins and overnights.
Home
Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs/diet restrictions. Sleep is huge for our household, so I’ll always ask how/where your pup typically sleeps to keep it as smooth sailing as possible. I also need to know the basics re: feeding schedule/amounts, allergies, vaccinations, potty schedule, commands, tendencies, how they do with toys, any aggressions, etc. We’ll go through all my questions during our meet and greet, so don’t worry!
A typical day
Daily activities include: tug, fetch, backyard time, walks, swimming (if able), cuddle time, training time for treats, occasional ride to Dunkin’ and dog park trips (if able).
