Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs I can accommodate so I can help them feel right at home. Unfortunately I can’t accept male dogs who mark in new places or exhibit compulsive marking behaviors, as we have expensive heirloom rugs and upholstered furniture.
A typical day
Every day we do two longer walks (Morning and Dinner time) around 30 minutes or more depending on the weather, along two shorter strolls/potty breaks. Happy to adjust based on your pups needs.

Full-time Professional Dog Mom ❤️
Pet care experience
As a a lifelong dog mom, I know how hard it is to find good care for your best friend so it’s my honor to be your stand-in pet parent and give your baby the kind of care I give my own. I’m home full time with my sweet Shihtzu mix Blair and part of a work-from-home dog loving duo. My partner Adam and I have shared our lives with pups since childhood, and there’s nothing we enjoy more than having furry friends around. We can’t wait to welcome your pup into our “pack” and provide lots of love, couch cuddles and family walks. With over 20 years of experience caring for pups of all ages. I’m intuitive and naturally attune to your dog’s energy and mood, which helps me provide calm, responsive care. Your pup will join our little crew, which includes Blair, our friendly 15lb Shih Tzu mix. Blair is gentle, low-key, and great at reading social cues. She enjoys companionship and will help your dog feel right at home. We usually take two, 30-minute walks per day, along with several additional short strolls or potty breaks. Our building has a private dedicated potty spot right out back and we’re lucky to have lovely parks nearby and a quieter pathway for walks behind our building, away from busy streets. We’ll make sure to keep your pup’s routine and feeding schedule intact, and gladly adjust to their needs. I’ll also be sharing plenty of fun photos and videos so you can see your fur baby thriving! Their time with us will be like a doggy sleep-away camp packed with fun, enrichment, and family-style love until you return!
Reviews

Nicole and her partner Adam took wonderful care of our dog Sammy! She was very communicative and sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. Sammy has to go to the bathroom pretty frequently and Nicole and Adam were very accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure his needs were taken care of. Thank you both so much.

Nicole is our favorite sitter ever! Our dog Ryder has become part of her family <3

Nicole is amazing! Great communication and she kept me updated with lots of pictures. Bella came home so tired and I just know she had so much fun! I would definitely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a sitter.

Nicole is always great with Mack! We love having him stay with her!
