Safety, trust & environment

We have an unfenced yard so playtime will always be leashed and supervised. If your pup likes a little nap in the sun, we do have a fenced patio where he or she can enjoy some supervised outside time off-leash. Due to coyote presence in Orange County, your pup will never be left outside unsupervised, even in the fenced patio.

Ready to spoil your pup!

Pet care experience

18 years of experience with our own dogs, however, our last remaining dog crossed the rainbow bridge this year and we're looking to share some love with some furry friends again in a different way. I have experience with puppies, shy dogs and senior dogs. We don't have children and truly believe dogs are our kids and should be spoiled as such :) I work from home 5 days a week so I can provide a comforting environment with your pup, ensuring they they have plenty of company and support.

Nicole was the first person I decided to trust outside my family to watch my 9 year old dog, and I definitely made the right decision! Nicole is a genuine dog lover and a kind soul. She welcomed a meet and greet at her home before our official drop off and treated my dog as her own. When she sent me pictures, I could tell my dog was happy and well cared for. My dog has a knee issue and Nicole was gracious to let me bring extra mats and a ramp for him. I felt at ease knowing my dog was with Nicole and I will only choose her from this point forward! Super grateful that we found her!

Nicole goes to great lengths to make sure any animal in her care feels loved and stays safe. She has years of experience as a pet parent and that comes across in her thoughtful approach when providing pet care for others. If you are looking for someone who is responsible, communicative and a huge animal lover, I’d highly recommend Nicole for pet care. She’s the best!

Nicole is amazing with dogs. She has a calm presence, and she’s very patient, even with high-energy dogs. She was great with my energetic dog who was always happy to see her. She is also very dependable and trustworthy — I felt completely confident leaving my dog in her care. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
