Pet care experience

Fun & loving home for your pet

I have loved dogs and cared for them my whole life. I have taken care of neighbors dogs since I was a kid and now help with family and friends dogs while they’re away. Additionally, I have assisted senior dogs needing help with mobility and medications. I work from home so am readily available to care for your pet. I have a large fenced in yard (half acre lot) for the dogs to enjoy. I do have three dogs to play (or nap with 😊) during the day and kiddos to cuddle with after school. I have two older labs who are socialized and friendly. They will play fetch in the yard but overall love getting spoiled by the kids and enjoy their napping spots on the couch. I also have a three year old dog who enjoys playing with other dogs in the yard with a game of chase or laying in the sun together. She is loving and goes with the vibe set by other dogs on whether it’s time to play or nap.

If you are looking for someone who will not only take incredible care of your animals but also make them feel so very loved, book Nicole. She is sweet, kind, professional, caring, and all around amazing. She took amazing care of our dog while we were gone and made us feel so comfortable. She gives really great updates and takes the best pictures! Nicole is top tier! A million stars should be her rating.

We have used Nicole multiple times! She is very responsive, friendly and flexible! Our dog, Teddy always enjoys his time there! He loves their huge fenced in yard and playing with their dogs and kids. He feels right at home:) Our kids love seeing the picture updates Nicole sends too.

Daisy always has a great time with Nicole and her family! We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Daisy was having fun too. It was super helpful this time that Nicole picked her up and dropped her off.

Wonderful home away from home for our fluffy doggo! Nicole was communicative, responsive, organized, caring, and provided excellent care while we were away. She sent daily updates and pictures to assure us he was in great hands. We will use her again if she will have our sweet boy!

Nicole is absolutely incredible. She treated our pups like family for sure. Her backyard is an oasis for any dog that likes to run. And her kids are ready willing and able to play with the dogs. Thank you so much for the wonderful care and love you gave to our doggies.

Please let me know about any unique behaviors your pets may have. I can set up a meet and greet with our dogs and kids beforehand if necessary. I would love to know your dogs normal routine so I can stick to that as best as possible with feedings, medications, and exercise. I will also plan on sticking with the rules of your household so if you prefer dogs stay off beds/couches, specific feeding times, use of crates, etc I will continue with that in our home.
