Loving your pet as if it’s our own

Hi! I’m Nicole, and my partner Alex and I spent the last few years traveling abroad and working remotely. We’ve landed in Lake Tahoe for the foreseeable future :) We provide a safe, active, and loving environment for your pets while you’re away. We’re still both fully remote, which means your fur baby gets consistent attention, not just quick check-ins. Our days naturally include multiple walks (morning, mid-day, and evening), outdoor time, and plenty of downtime for cuddles and relaxation. We live an active lifestyle and love having a furry friends alongside us for walks, fresh air, and exploring, but we’re just as intentional about creating a calm, secure space at home so your pet feels comfortable and settled. We’ve cared for pets for years, including friends, family, Rover clients and other pet sitting platforms, in both our home and theirs. We’re very attentive and always know where your pet is, so you never have to worry about safety or supervision. Our goal is simple: when you’re away, your pet isn’t just being watched, they’re having their own little vacation. If you’re looking for reliable, communicative sitters who will treat your pet like their own, we’d love to help.

My puppy can be very demanding and Nicole handled him with no problems

House Sitting • avr. 13, 2026

Nicole and Alex were absolutely amazing! They stayed at our home for 3 nights and took such great care of our dog, Whiskey. They made sure he got plenty of playtime, took him on walks, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and a clean house—which was such a bonus. They even went above and beyond and did laundry, which we truly appreciated! We would 100% trust Nicole and Alex again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitters. Thank you guys!

Nicole was amazing! She was able to take my puppy in last minute and I was very grateful for that. She made my puppy feel so loved! She was taking such good care of him and sent me pictures and updates about how their day was going. I definitely felt a sigh of relief knowing my puppy was happy and safe with her!

Nicole came to our rescue for a last minute trip we had to take. She was sweet and took great care of our Biggie. I would definitely book with Nicole again!

Nicole was amazing. It was the first time we used the app and she was such a doll. So caring and sweet with our 5 month old puppy. She sent us picture updates which made us feel so at ease. The true testament of how great she was when we got him home, he was so calm and content which I think shows of how well he was looked after with her. There will definitely be more stays in the future with Nicole.Thanks again!

Nicole was excellent! She thought of everything, arranging the meet and greet and then ensuring that our dog did not have any special arrangements that had to be accounted for. We left our dog with her for a day and she communicated with us throughout that day with pics and updates. Truly set our mind at ease from being away from our bundle of joy. She’s a truly warm and caring person, who ensures your dog is well taken care of. Her conduct and ability really deserve the highest marks. You can leave your dog with her without a care in the world.

Schedule

Because we both work fully remote, pet care naturally fits into our daily routine and gets consistent attention throughout the day. Our typical weekday schedule includes a morning walk before work, another walk or outdoor break mid-day, and a longer walk or activity in the evening. We’re home all day, so your pup isn’t left alone for long stretches and gets plenty of interaction, supervision, and care in between. We also build in flexibility throughout the day for playtime, potty breaks, and any specific needs your dog may have. On weekends, we’re usually free and spend more time outdoors, which means even more walks, fresh air, and quality time. If your dog enjoys being active, they’ll fit right into Alex’s routine! Additionally, Nicole is just as happy accommodating dogs who prefer a slower, more relaxed pace.
