Safety, trust & environment

We have a large solarium with big windows attached to the front of our house, which we use as a doggy room - our two friendly dogs love hanging out in here and often chill and nap on the staircase platforms, barking at squirrels and what not, observing the front yard's happenings. It is their safe place. We also have a laminated living room/kitchen area with dog beds and our couch if they prefer hanging out there instead. We pretty much are hanging out and caring for dogs at all times of the day. Pet sitting has become nicely integrated into our daily lives and routines. We adore dogs so we always will make sure they are well cared for and have what they need to be happy!

Information Nicole & Dexter P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or if they have a certain type of temperment that I need to be aware of before hand.

A typical day

My son loves dogs and is great at playing with them, he will play fetch and tug-of-war. We go on walks as well in our neighborhood, peruse around our yard, or play in the fenced area. Treats are given routinely and, if they're up for it, they will get lots of cuddles on the couch!

These were the perfect people for our dog. Our pup is only 9 months old and has separation anxiety. They were so patient with her and sent us pictures every day. We will definitely be booking again!

I am so happy with my dogs stay! I got so many pictures and updates and could tell my dog was super comfortable there. I will definitely be using them again!

This was our first experience with Rover and what a wonderful one it was! We cannot recommend Nicole and Dexter enough! They took such amazing care of Rudy. We were updated often and received daily pictures, which really comforted us while we were far from home. We had so much peace of mind keeping Rudy in their care. Truly cannot thank you both enough!

Our dog had a fabulous time, made new friends (both dog and human) and was very well taken care of during her time there. We do not hesitate to recommend Nicole and Dexter to other pet parents!
