Availability

I work from home so dogs are vital to me and they make me feel so happy. I love them and they love me so it is a win win. It is nice to be popular too with my K9s as they enjoy my big fenced in yard too which we love to run around in and play all day.

A typical day

I enjoy doing stimulating games with the dogs. We both enjoy going outside and doing different activities based on what the dog likes to do. Taking walks in the neighborhood to our various parks and trails is also a great option we like to exercise dependent if my dog or dogs is / are socialized. It is great to have the yard to fall back upon in case the dog / dogs are not social that's ok I can work around that. I like to play with toys at home also and I have a special dog table for them to head to and be treated (with parents approval only of course)

Nicole is so sweet with our boy. He does great at her house and we’re so happy to have her close by to take care of him.

Our dogs, Willoughby and Sparrow, were well taken care of by Nicole. We were in town for a wedding and Nicole was so accommodating given the schedule. She even provided us humans a special treat from Chicago! She provided updates throughout their time with her and a detailed report card. We can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of our pups.

Nicole was great! She was very accommodating with my last minute request! Nicole didn’t even complain about the fur my husky left behind! When I picked up my fur baby, he was very happy! I received update photos that included cute captions! I will be definitely be contacting Nicole for future boarding!
