NIcole was very responsive to all my questions and she did a great job communicating while my dog was with her. In the past, my dog has come home stressed when she has stayed with other sitters but she was happy and calm when she came home from Nicole's.

Nicole and Scott did an excellent job watching Safeer. It’s been over a year since we last boarded Safeer with them, but as soon as we dropped her off with Nicole, Safeer ran to her with excitement. They were great about sending us pictures throughout the stay. When we picked Safeer up, it was evident that she had had a wonderful time with them. We look forward to having Nicole and Scott watch Safeer again in the future.

Our dog seemed to really enjoy her 10-day stay with Nicole. Nothing negative to report! We would definitely use her services again.

Nicole watched our pups for 4 days and had us regular updates and pics on how they were doing. They went on regular walks, and both of them seemed super happy and relaxed, our younger pup has ACL issues and she took good care, he doesn’t have any flare up! We’re very happy and so are the pups 🧡

Nicole took great care of our cat and was kind enough to watch him at little notice!

Schedule

I work from home during the week, so your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. They’ll enjoy lots of walks, attention, and belly rubs from both me and my husband—and occasionally from visiting friends and family as well!

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my husband (the "dog whisperer"), who is also an animal lover and experienced caretaker. We live right next to the dog park, so please let us know if that is something your pet will enjoy (or not) ! My parents also enjoy when I bring dogs by for weekend visits. They have a large, fully fenced yard where pups can safely run and play.

A typical day

I typically take dogs on about 4-5 walks throughout the day, sometimes to the dog park. My husband loves to play with the pups. I like to give treats as rewards and cuddle with them.
