I have a large fenced in yard (half acre lot) to run and play. I do allow dogs on furniture and you will regularly find one of the kids sitting with a dog on the couch.

Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

The dogs enjoy the backyard, running around with the kids, and occasional trips to a nearby dog park. I have dog toys to chew on or chase as well as the yard to explore.

Fun & loving home for your pet

Pet care experience

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.

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.
