Highlights
Pet care experience
Sit. Stay. Be spoiled.
Your dog deserves more than just a hard kennel where countless others have stressed and panted awaiting someone to unlock the cage and let them out for a potty break - they deserve someone who genuinely cares for them and their comfort. Whether you need a midday walk, a quick check-in, or a cozy overnight stay while you're away, your pup will be in caring, attentive hands every step of the way. I am an experienced foster for ACDRA (Australian Cattle Dog Rescue), I have had the joy of loving dogs my entire life, and raised 8 of my own in adulthood. I will treat your dog like my own and do my best to keep them comfortable and stress levels down while you are away. Expect plenty of cuddles, outdoor adventures, and real-time updates so you never have to worry about how they're doing.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a one acre yard that is not fenced. I walk dogs on a leash or put them out for quick potty breaks on a run out my back door. I have a gated deck for sun bathing, pool time and fresh air. Inside, I believe in slow introductions with resident pets. I have a gated living room where your pet will stay while my two dog-friendly dogs get to know them. If all introductions go smoothly, they may eventually get some dog play time, but I do know how to read dog body language and will not move forward if anyone seems uncomfortable. As a dog foster, I have introduced many dogs into my home successfully!
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was absolutely amazing with my dog nephew, Walter. His human dad was hospitalized for an extended stay, and though family stepped in, it was clear Walter needed some additional TLC. Nicole immediately came to the rescue with playtime, walks and that extra special attention he needed. She went above and beyond, helping him to feel more secure and boosting his confidence when his environment changed. The videos and pictures she took were a joy to see as he was a happy boy in her care. Cannot recommend her enough!
Hello fellow pet lovers! Finding a trustworthy pet sitter can be such a stressful process so I’m writing to ease any anxiety potential clients may have. I’ve known Nicole for decades and have watched her raise many animals with compassion and respect. In fact, she has personally helped me adopt my own animals and has taken care of mine over the years. She’s highly skilled and intuitive in animal behavior, nutrition and physical needs on an individual basis. I highly recommend her, she’s a gem!
