Loving Care, Full Time Dog Mom 🐾
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.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Came to walk Sasha. Walked her for 40 mins then played with her in our room for the remainder of the hour. Sasha’s shy but she loves Nicole!
Nicole is always our first choice when we need to leave our Migo with someone. Highly recommend!
Nicole was absolutely amazing with our 5 month old pup. I was super nervous to leave him and she comforted him from the first moment. I wish we lived closer to her because we would hire her again and again.
Absolutely wonderful experience from first meeting to pick-up. Our dog was so loved and taken care of. Nicole has a very professional operation, and takes care of dogs extremely seriously. I can’t imagine a better option for boarding!!
I am so happy that I found Nicole! I researched several sitters and just knew that she was going to be a good match for my little Josie. Josie is timid, and nervous and not used to being away from me. (Her separation anxiety is strong). But Nicole made her, AND ME so comfortable! She sent several pictures throughout the day and I was at such ease. We are definitely going to be back!
I was so worried leaving my dog for a few days because she is so attached to me. Within one hour Nicole sent photos of her interacting happily with the other dogs. I was so happy and surprised as I thought she would be hard to handle. Nicole knows how to handle dogs in a loving way. Stella was safe and well cared for. I'm happy I found a trusting sitter Stella like. I highly recommend her. She is the best!
