Pet care experience
Pet lover w/11 yrs under the collar
I am an enthusiastic dog lover with 11 years under my collar. I started just personal care with my own pets and then decided to work at a vet. I have 2 years of professional experience at a vet boarding kennel. I have both personal and professional experience giving baths, walking, feeding and giving oral medication. I have worked with multiple dog breeds small to giant, puppy to senior. For Care inside my home: 1. Your dog(s) MUST be treated with flea/tick/worm meds and are to be up to date on all their shots. 2. They need to be crate trained for when I have to leave my home, UNLESS the stay is not overnight and I know I won't be going anywhere that day, they do not need a crate. The ONLY exception your dog(s) can do a stay without a crate is they must have no chewing habits and must be house trained, and that if they cause any damages you agree to pay 100% of the damage. 3. Your pup must get along well with other dogs and not have anti-social/aggressive behavior, including excessive food aggression. 4. if your dog(s) cause any damage, that was out of my control, you agree to pay 100% of the damage cost in cash once the day the sitting is over. No exceptions whatsoever. FOR BOARDING: Please provide whatever your pet will need. Such as their collar, leash, certain play toys they like, their dog food and treats, crate, and bedding. It is recommended the bedding not be new so that if your dog has separation anxiety from you, the bedding will have your scent on it. You can even stick a half-worn T-shirt or pillow case in the kennel.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was great with my two labs. They had never been boarded before and she took great care of them. She was very understanding and accommodating with one of my labs that had a medical condition. Will absolutely take my dogs to her anytime I travel in the future!
Nicole is by far the best option for our bestest boy! She cares so much about your pet and we couldn’t be happier that we found her to help us with our dog. She sends photos and videos frequently throughout their stay, lets you know how they’re eating, behaving, etc. She even went all out and treated our boy to a dog friendly Thanksgiving meal, after asking our permission. She is kind, thoughtful, and a really great caregiver!
Nicole was wonderful! With very sorry notice, she watched my Yellow Labrador Retreiver for 3 days while my Mom was having surgery in downtown Charleston. I had great peace of mind knowing my dog was being well taken care of while I was away. I got updates daily with photos and videos! Highly recommend. Would use again.
I met Nicole as my next door neighbor. She had one dog of her own Initially and was a very attentive dog mom. I could toss my little dogs over the fence to play with her dog anytime. About a year ago or so she started pet sitting and every week there were new dogs next door. She always learned their temperament really quickly and the dogs were always taken care of. They had tons of outdoor time in a fenced in yard and were allowed to roam free in the home with supervision. Because we live next door when I needed help she would just go to my house to let my pugs out and play with them and send me pictures of how they were doing. This as become her full time job so you will never need to worry if your pets are left unattended for long periods of time. Nicole and her family are dog lovers and will take great care of your pups!!
Nicole took wonderful care of my dog! She was attentive to her needs. She sent pictures and videos throughout the stay that let me know that my dog was having a great time. I highly recommend Nicole!
Nicole and her husband watched my 18 month old Dane for a week. The entire time, she sent me photos, videos, and updates on how he was doing. He was so spoiled. I would highly recommend Nicole to watch your dogs. She and her husband were amazing and went above and beyond my expectations. 100000/10 ⭐️

Schedule
I work from home so I would have plenty of time to help you take care of your furry loved one. I prefer weekdays, however I am open to an occasional weekend when you need.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a keen attention to detail and can easily follow all instructions and needs for your pet and home. I would have the utmost respect for your home and take care of your furr baby like they were my own. I will take care of any little presents your pet is trying to leave for you, indoor and outdoor ensuring you have no worries but getting love when you get home. When taking walks I like to make sure dogs have enough time to take in all the smells and get plenty of exercise.

A typical day
When stopping in to let out your furr baby I like to make the most of it. Ill take the time to engage with them in some play or just let them soak up some outdoor time. On walks, I love to let your dog to take in all the smells. I like to make sure I move at a pace that is perfect for your pet.
