Professional, Trustworthy, Caring

Pet care experience

Animals are my passion. I got my bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice to work in animal control. I haven't been able to pursue that dream yet, so I am doing the next best thing, and adding 4 paws wherever I can. I have experience working in two shelters, with an animal rescue, and a few months of vet teching. I am a mom to 5 kiddos ages 23,17,12,10,&10. We have 2 dogs, and 2 barn kitties. I have experience fostering, training, and some vetting from my time at the animal shelter. I would love to meet your furry baby, and love on them when you are away. 😊

Nicole is absolutely incredible! We couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of our dogs. She even gave us a little Christmas present!

Nicole is awesome! We couldn’t ask for anybody better to get our two boys out and about during weekdays.

We felt so comfortable entrusting our dog to Nicole. She was more than professional, patient, and caring. We loved the way she proactively (and kindly!) messaged us with any concerns about our pup. She even gave her a bath! We definitely recommend Nicole to anyone looking to have their dog cared for while away.

Safety, trust & environment

I will keep your dogs on leash outside, unless directed otherwise. We are set far back from the road and have plenty of yard for play. In our home we follow what you do at home. If you crate at night, we will. If you let them sleep on the couch, we will let them on ours. We try to make their stay very similar to the boundries you have set at home.

Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet

I have a little form for you to fill out, so I can be sure to follow all your feeding, training, and special needs for your pet. We can figure that all out at our meet and greet.

A typical day

We love to go for walks, play ball, and frisbee. I am currently training my dog in nosework, tracking and agility. I would love to share that with your pup if they would like to learn during their stay or my visit.

I am pretty flexible when it comes to scheduling. I work from home, and substitute teacher occasionally. I should be able to accommodate most schedules.
