Pet care experience

Lover of all dogs, big and small!

Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds and have owned and cared for a variety of breeds over the years, including Pit Bulls and a Mini Dachshund. My love for dogs runs deep, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I strive to make their stay as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I also have a friendly, well-socialized dog named Phoenix who loves having canine visitors. He gets along well with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and helps create a fun, welcoming environment. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their dog is safe, loved, and cared for while they’re away. 🐾

Nicole did an amazing job watching my girl Layla! She put my mind at ease and I didn’t have to worry once. She stayed in constant communication with me and sent pictures/videos while I was away and she took such great care of my pup. She also sent me recommendation of helpful things that I can use in the future. I HIGHLY recommend Nicole and will be using her again going forward!

This was our first time with Nicole helping us with our Golden Retrievers. She was AWESOME! Everything went great and I was able to enjoy the weekend away. I will 100% ask her to help us again, and I recommend her with all my heart. Thank you Nicole for being so special.
