over the top dog-loving caretaker.

Pet care experience

As a child being raised by a marine who trained dogs for the military I had the honors of experiencing a loving connection for dogs. My childhood Belgium Shepherd was my first love. At 18 having to let her go it was very difficult for me and I bought 2 toy poodles. Bella and Chloe. They were my children. I haven’t been able to commit to buying a puppy yet because I’m indecisive of what I want and my healing process has been hard with the loss of them. I started dog sitting a little over 5 years ago since then. Dogs always love me and the energy I present. I love dog sitting because it fulfills my heart to comfort them while they are away from their owners. I pay close attention to the ones that have separation anxiety and make sure they feel the comfort they need. making sure that they are assured that they are safe by doing things like (If approved by the owner; I will always ask questions like this in the beginning of the relationship built up with your dog), Making sure they have a toy, some treats, and sometimes if needed on the TV, whether it anxiety doggy music or simply them watching other animals on the TV to distract them until they start to feel comfortable. When the weather is nice i like to make sure they get a lot fresh air and staying active. Treating yours like my own is what it’s all about and I can assure you will be happy with my genuineness in that even though it is work in my eyes, it’s therapeutic.

Nicole' is all warm and caring. She truly been a blessing for my dog with separation anxiety that I was not aware of. Every time she stays with Nicole, my furry friend finds comfort and joy. When I pick her up, she's reluctant to leave, a testament to the love and attention Nicole provides.

Hello! Nicole has dog sat for me when i went to mexico last year, and florida a couple months ago. She always made sure my dog was taken out to go to the bathroom and get enough exercise! She made sure she was fed on time and gave her such a comfortable place to relax. She is so caring and thoughtful. my dog didn’t want to leave Nicole!! they became best friends!!! 10/10 wonderful pet sitter. she gave my baby so much love when i went away! i am so hesitant about leaving my baby with people, and Nicole made it so easy to have a stress free vacation. Thank you for loving my baby❤️

Information Nicole G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I accept dogs in all shapes and sizes, whether they require specific care, have unique preferences, or need accommodations for their comfort. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to providing a safe and enjoyable experience for every furry friend in my care.

A typical day

On a typical day of dog sitting, I start by greeting my furry guests with a warm smile and lots of belly rubs. We kick off the day with a leisurely walk in the park, where the dogs get to explore new scents and stretch their legs. Back at home, we engage in fun activities like playing fetch, learning new tricks, and enjoying interactive toys. I make sure to provide plenty of cuddles and treats throughout the day to keep the dogs happy and content. As the day winds down, we relax together, watching a movie or snuggling up for bedtime stories. Every moment spent with these adorable companions brings joy and laughter, making each day of dog sitting a memorable and fulfilling experience.
