Vet Tech/Fear Free Certified

Hello, I'm Nicole - a former veterinary technician with a passion for pet care. As a trained pet CPR provider and with pet safety as my top priority, you can trust that your furry friend will be in good hands with me. I am qualified to care for pets with special needs and am able to administer medication with ease. In order to ensure the best quality of care, I only book one family at a time. So rest assured when your fur baby is under my care that they are receiving the full attention from me and my entire family. My services are tailored to your pet's unique needs, ensuring they get all the love, playtime, and belly rubs they could dream of. Whether you need boarding, drop-in visits or dog walking, I'm happy to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your pets. And here's the icing on the "pupcake" - I personally whip up homemade treats for all our clients! It's our way of saying "thanks a bunch" for choosing us to care for your precious pals.

Nicole was absolutely amazing with my TJ! He is very clingy and she did well with him. He can be shy. Thanks Nicole!

It was our first time using a sitter overnight and we were nervous. Nicole was so sweet and showed our dog so much love, even though our pup was scared to be in a new place. A positive experience overall

Loved getting pictures while we were away and gave us peace of mind that Susie was having a good time!

Nicole was great with my dog. We met a few weeks before to make sure it was a good fit because my dog has anxiety. She sent pictures everyday which made my kids happy.

She did a great job watching my senior poodle. She sent a lot of photos and was responsive. You can tell she loves what she does and that she takes the best care of your fur baby. She will be my go-to pet sitter from now on!

Safety, trust & environment

Boarding Animal Safety Measures: - Secure fencing around the backyard, pool is not separately fenced however backyard play will be fully supervised. Dogs will never be left unattended outdoors. - I prefer dogs who get along with other dogs and children. If they are uncomfortable around children that is not a deterrent I just ask that you make me aware so that I can take extra safety measures with my toddler. I will not take on any pets who are aggressive/reactive towards children. If aggressive/reactive to other dogs special accommodations will be made to keep them completely separate from my pugs. - My one pug suffers from extreme anxiety for this reason, he will be kept away from all borders until he gets more comfortable (usually just the first 2 boarding visits then he adjusts well) Drop-ins & Dog Walks Safety Measures: - Any doors or gates will be double-checked to ensure they are closed and/or locked upon leaving a client’s home. The same goes for arming any alarm system in use during the visits. - Personal alarm where my location is able to be pinged by my own personal emergency contacts as well as law enforcement in case of emergency

A typical day

What better way to keep a pup who is outside the comfort of their own home happy, mentally stimulated, and having some fun than with activities. Some activities to be expected is 3 sets of walks throughout the day alongside my furbaby, Walter. I have a large selection of toys to be played with and continue to receive new toys on a regular basis thanks to Bark Box to keep thing fresh and exciting for even my repeat clients. There will be a lot of running around and playtime. And here's the icing on the "pupcake" - I personally whip up homemade treats for all our clients! It's our way of saying "thanks a bunch" for choosing us to care for your precious pals.

Let me know any information that would be important for me to know or that could help give the most comfortable experience for your baby. I do allow pets on my furniture such as couches, chair, and beds - if you do not allow your dog on furniture please let me know so that I can enforce the same set of rules during their visit so that I do not encourage any unwanted behaviors.
