Pet care experience

Great home for your pet!

I have been around dogs since I was born. Our family always had dogs and I have continued with pet ownership myself. Through the years, I have helped many family members and friends with pet care. I like to help others and taking care of animals is one of the best ways to help.

It was so comforting and reassuring to leave my dog with Nicole while I was out of the country. Her care and attention is excellent. I didn’t worry for a moment!!

Nicole is the best! She communicates great on arrival times and is always enthusiastic with my dog. She is very careful and goes above and beyond to accommodate. I’m so pleased to have her.

My dog Fergus and I are very pleased with Nicole. It’s obvious she likes and understands dogs. Fergus is a large, 90 pound black lab and she manages him well. She does a great job of communicating arrival times, etc. We look forward to many more walks!!

Doggy Day Care • Nov. 10, 2025

Absolutely awesome care of Apollo! I got lots of photos and videos and detailed updates of how he was doing. I really appreciated that window into what his experience was like and how his behavior was. And the pictures and videos are just adorable!!! Nicole was a very prompt communicator and very organized and prepared and competent. I felt that she could absolutely handle anything Apollo could throw at her. Something about her space just made him so calm and at ease instantly.

Schedule

I work Mon-Fri and am off at 3pm. My wife works from home. Our daughter is 19 and attending college in the fall. With this set-up, there is typically someone in the house at all times. If your dog is used to early morning feeding and walks, no problem. We live less than 15 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport, right off 94. Easy drop-off and pick-up for pet parents! Also, if I am not showing as available for your dates, reach out! I might be able to work something out for you.

Safety, trust & environment

Our home has a fenced-in backyard, with plenty of space to run and sniff. Our neighborhood is quiet and on Belleville Lake, making it great for walks! We have 2 dogs. Olive is a 45lb hound mix. She is always ready to play, but loves a snooze on the couch. Blair is a Mini Australian Shepherd and is 100% Mini Aussi. If you know, you know 😂 We also have an 19.1lb cat that we call #gusthebus. He is a big boy and has always had a dog in the house. His 1st dog buddy was an 80lb Husky/Shepherd mix. Gus is great with new dogs and has plenty of hiding spots if he is feeling insecure. Myself and my family will treat your pet just like we treat Olive, Blair and Gus, you have no worries.

Pets

A typical day

Your dog will be a part of our family while they stay with us! Walks, car rides, backyard fun, cuddles and treats will be a part of their day. For the cold months, I have a full basement to play in as well. A lot of space to throw balls and play with toys out of the cold.
