Companionate Dog Lover!

I’ve been a dog lover since a child. I have rescued and adopted a very shy and abused Shih Tzu, Bear! Bear is the joy of our family. I grew up with my childhood dog, a German Shepherd (Prince) and had my very own chinchilla and guinea pig during my college years! I have babysat for my dog brother, Rocky, an English Bulldog for years while my parents traveled back and forth to Florida. I have a 9 year old son, Christian, who loves animals just as much as I do.

My little Bear has been staying with Nicole for awhile now when I’m away. I love he enjoys staying there. Only place that he happily walks in and goes to do his thing. I have to force him to say bye to me. It is nice not to have to worry while I’m gone.

After 15 years I’ve finally found someone that my little Bear loves. He’s been to all types of pamper pets and such but loves staying with Nicole and her family. He no longer gives me the Doxie silent treatment for a few days. Nicole will always be the place I bring him for a vacay!!

Nicole took great care of my dog while my family and I vacationed! She’s flexible, positive, and great with updates. We’ve never left our boy and she provided peace and trust. I would recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

My house has a fenced in yard with plenty of open grass for your dogs to play. Our neighborhood is super dog friendly as we see plenty of people walking their dogs. I have no problem picking up after your dog(s) as well as take them on walks because we understand how important daily exercise is for your furbaby! I am flexible for their meal schedule.

We will play a bunch of games in my fenced in yard. I have a neighborhood park that is dog friendly, that we could walk around and excercise.

My dog is very shy of other humans, he has been since rescue. However, he is such a sweetheart and loves when the neighbors dogs comes outside to interact and play.
