Pet care experience
Ever since I was six, I’ve had a wide assortment of mammalian, reptilian, and amphibian best friends who have taught me to be responsible and caring from a young age. As an animal-lover, I am patient and compassionate especially with puppies and kittens who I have a lot of experience caring for! I absolutely love training puppies to do new tricks like looping in between your legs or waiting patiently for a command before receiving a treat. As such, my adoration for your fur baby will go beyond simply having them stay over; I can guarantee that I will provide the best care by showering them with love and making sure they feel like home!
Reviews
Nicole is lovely, caring and extremely responsible when it comes to taking care of your furry family members. My dog had a happy experience judging by the fact he really didn't seem to want to come home with me when I returned from a short trip. He also thought LuLu, Nicole's dog, was super. Lots of pictures, too, during your trip. I can't recommend this duo enough.
Nicole was amazing!! She was so sweet and so was Lulu - she sent so many cute videos and pictures while we were away which was greatly appreciated. Koji had an amazing time and truly highly recommend and will use again. Thank you Nicole!!
Grateful for Nicole and her dog Lulu, who made my pup feel at home during doggy day care. She watched him for a full day and sent me pics n video updates throughout the day. She made me feel at ease as a new dog mama and even has experience giving oral medication, which Haven needed during his stay. I would definitely trust Nicole to care for Haven for future bookings. Highly recommend!
Tawny and I LOVE Nicole and Lulu! They’re my go-to when I need a safe place for Tawny while I’m away. Nicole keeps me updated throughout and cares for my baby like her own. I absolutely recommend.

Lulu is an amazing companion and is so friendly and non-confrontational with other dogs (see images of her making new friends). Although I don’t have a yard, I have a solid-fenced balcony where I leave mats out so that Lulu and the dogs I take care of are able to have enjoy the sun throughout the day. I also live in a 2-bedroom without any roommates, so there is plenty of space for them to run around and play! When I do leave her at home, I keep her in the living room and make sure that all the doors are closed — I have a fear that she’ll somehow lock herself in a room! If I leave her alone at night to go out for dinner, I always keep a light on and make sure that Alexa is playing an audiobook (her favourites are podcasts about the economy 😂) so she doesn’t feel alone. All in all, I always make sure that Lulu and any other fur babies at home are well-fed, well-exercised, safe, and content because they are absolutely precious! I also only board one pet a time. I find that this allows me to dedicate more time and attention to ensure your pet’s happiness and comfortability!

A typical day
I am a huge fan of the dog park, and I am constantly looking for new ones to explore with the pups! I take them to different ones (depending on how long they stay with me) so that they can interact with different dogs. I also really enjoy walking around, so I’ll often take them to the mall, supermarket, or any dog-friendly restaurants. I feel guilty leaving them at home so I try to work my schedule around the dogs I watch!

Availability
I work from home most days and besides the occasional errands, I will be able to tend to your fur baby 24-7. This only applies to puppies/dogs, but Lulu LOVES going to the park. With your permission, I would love to take them out to play and socialize with other dogs! I also tend to bring them along wherever I go — target runs, hikes…you name it! I’m also looking for a consistent M-F dog-walking opportunity in the area. I love staying active and enjoy taking long walks with the pups. If you need someone reliable and responsible to walk your dog during the day when you’re at work, then I’m the walker you need!
