Let me care for your pooch!
Pet care experience
I have owned several dogs over the last 50 years. I love to walk and be outside with them. Dogs are my kids! My experience includes having taken care of many different types of breeds including Irish Setters, Boxers, German Shepherds, Labs, Vizslas, Golden Retrievers and Shelties. I have experience with older dogs and can administer medication and am mindful of their limitations. Any boarding or daycare dog will get spoiled on daily dog park visits. I will make sure they get enough exercise. Besides the dog park visits they will get plenty of walks. I live in a dog friendly gated community with walking trails and easy access to a public park right behind our complex.
Reviews
WOW! Nicole is fantastic! Our Zippy came home exhausted! She took him to dog parks, walks, and absolutely spoiled him. She was extremely clear and wonderful with communication. We had a meet and greet first which was great and helps settle any nerves for me and our pup. Nicole knows dogs and treats them like her own. I highly recommend Nicole for any doggy needs!
Wonderful experience! Easygoing and flexible and took great care of my very needy pup! Looking forward to having her stay with Nicole again! Thank you!!
Nicole watched my two dogs (both just under two years old) for a weekend. She was communicative throughout their stay with updates and pictures. She also made it easy to drop them off and pick them up and even welcomed us into her home to see where they would be staying. She has a great screened sunroom and lots of room for the dogs to play and sleep. One day the dogs got to meet some of Nicole’s friends and it looked like they had such a fun time together. They were exhausted when they came home, which was very convenient after our busy weekend as well. Thank you Nicole!
I am SO happy I found Nicole. She was the perfect sitter for my pup. She welcomed him into her home and kept him SUPER active on walks, hikes, and playtime with other dogs. She was so patient with his high maintenance attitude and carefully listened to instructions and accommodated behavioral quirks. When we brought him home he didn’t move from the couch all evening. I could tell he was having a great time from the pictures. He can’t wait to see Nicole again!

Your dog will feel at home here. They are allowed on the furniture. I don't like crates unless necessary. I will spoil them and take them on long walks.
Home
Information Nicole G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog is social and can behave in the dog parks or if an individual walk is better. Do they pull on the leash or have they been trained? Do they destroy things in the house and need constant supervision or can they be left alone for a few minutes.
A typical day
I love going to dog parks with my dogs. They always find friends to play with and the opportunity to let off some steam. And I enjoy watching them play!
