In my opinion, Nicole would do a good job with older dogs, but she should not necessarily be watching puppies. She did not seem very experienced based on some of the text messages I was receiving while Nash stayed over there. There were multiple occasions where I felt uncomfortable with her watching him. For example, when she texted me that she was at work all day I asked who was taking Nash for a walk. She told me her roommate was, which would have been fine if she would have told me that beforehand. My husband and I also ended up coming home a day early because she preferred we pick him up that night instead of the next day (we had paid through Monday). We had been spending time with family from Kansas that drove here to spend the weekend with us in the mountains. We were over two hours away and ended up driving back in order to pick Nash up. When we were about halfway home she informed us she may not be there, then a few minutes later proceeded to tell us that her grandma would be there. When arriving at her apartment, we met her grandma, who was really nice, but she had a dog with her. Again, I would have been okay with this had it been cleared with me. Nash has been attacked several times now by other dogs, so I would like to be informed when other dogs are around, especially when he is staying with them. There were several other things that came up over the weekend, but I feel like these were the main issues that I had.

Nicole was great. Was able to fit in the boys on short notice. So nice to know she was taking care of them while we were out of town. Highly recommend
