Loving Care, Full Time Dog Mom 🐾

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Nicole, and I’ve been hosting a safe, loving, and professional doggy daycare and boarding in my home for 10 years. I have the experience of caring for hundreds of different breeds, unique requests, and schedules which I am happy to accommodate. In addition to these services I offer outbound services such as dog walking, hikes, and housesitting. As a professional my business, Happy Tails Pet Care, is licensed and insured through Pet Care Insurance. Together, in addition to Rover’s guarantee, you can feel confident knowing your pets and home are in safe hands. ✨ What sets me apart: I use positive reinforcement and create a fear-free, stress-free environment. Experienced with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments from whelping and training puppies, to providing gentle senior care. Skilled in crate training, potty training, and socialization for well rounded, confident pups. 🐾 Special experience with: ✔︎ Puppies & senior pets ✔︎ Dogs with allergies, disabilities, or special needs ✔︎ Administering medication ✔︎ Managing separation anxiety ✔︎ Prioritizing safety & comfort During your pup’s stay, you’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can see all the tail wags and happy moments in real time. My goal is always to care for your pets as if they were my own with love, patience, and plenty of snuggles.
