Highlights
Pet care experience
Just like home!
I've had dogs all of my life and have spent the past 6 years volunteering in animal welfare as well as fostering and pet sitting. I have a true passion for animals, specifically dogs and have cared for senior dogs, medical rehabilitation cases, and those with medical needs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nicole and James were very loving care-givers to my 3.5 pound, 16 year old, blind and deaf (!) senior dog. Their two small dogs were adorable and able assistants, and Sadie felt very comfortable and made herself right at home with the family. I received many pictures of Sadie cuddling throughout the house and with the family dogs. Don't hesitate to use Nicole's sitting services! Very small dog friendly!
I knew from the moment we met Nicole that she was the person to watch our little Lacey. I felt assured from the moment I dropped Lacey off that she was going to receive good care while we were out of town. Nicole sent pictures and texts throughout the day to let us know that Lacey was doing great. It's so nice to find someone who loves your dog as her own and we found that in Nicole! We will definitely be using Nicole again.
Nicole was the perfect fit for my dog’s personality. She allowed Goldie to settle into her new surroundings on her terms. I know Goldie was very comfortable and safe. Nicole’s dogs were very sweet and gentle with Goldie as well. I would highly recommend Nicole as care provider for your fur baby!
Nicole is the best person you’ll ever have a chance to meet! We met Nicole though the pet shelter foster program where we rescued our dog Dolce. We thank Nicole and Jim for fostering Dolce and training and instilling in her the best obedience, personality and behavior any dog could have. Nicole would take care of and love on your pet as if it were her own. We would recommend her and would trust her completely, you and your precious pets would not be disappointed.
I am one of those crazy dog moms that will not let just anyone babysit my son (zuchon). Nicole has watched him for a week at a time and treated him like he was her own furry son. She took pictures to provide proof of life throughout his stay and the pictures revealed that he was having a great time being completely pampered. Nicole is amazing, I will have her watch my fur baby every time!
You won’t find someone more reliable, attentive, communicative and nurturing to care for your pet. Over the 20 years I have known Nicole she has been actively involved in volunteering her time either as a foster dog mom or providing enrichment and love to dogs in the shelter. She has also always had a dog of her own that is very loved. She understands that every dog has a different temperament/need and truly has a special way of connecting with each one of them. I personally trusted her 100 percent with watching my lil chihuahua Jake over his time here and he always came back to me happy and very well cared for. One could only be so lucky to hit the jackpot with Nicole as their dog sitter, walker, etc! She’s a treasure!

Schedule
I work a full-time job from home and am able to care for the right pets in my home or come to your home or vacation rental to care for your pet(s). I love all animals and know how difficult it can be to leave your fur kids behind when traveling or a long day away from home. I am passionate about offering a "just like home" environment for your dog(s) so you can take comfort knowing that they are safe and loved. It is my intention to establish relationships with my clients and their fur kids to take the stress out of finding pet care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a townhome and am able to care for your small dog(s) in my home. I have two small, very friendly pups who get regular walks throughout the day. Over night boarding in my home will require that your dog(s) are able to sleep in a crate as well as stay in a crate if I need to leave the house. This is for the safety of your pets and mine. At your home, I am cautious to ensure the safety and security of your pet especially when on a leash outside of the home.
Pets
A typical day
My townhome complex has a dog park on property and is a great place for playtime. With permission, I would love to take your dog for longer walks in the park or a hike if they are up for it. I will accommodate specific needs based on his/her activity level.
