Pet care experience

Senior Dogs? Meds? I've got you!

Hi! I'm Nicole a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter. I've spent many years hosting both young and senior dog within my home, and neighbors, friends, and family regularly trust me to watch their pups, take them on walks, and help with basic training for specific behaviors. I have hands on experience with dogs in heat, and senior dogs who need special diets and medications. I'm comfortable giving pills in the morning or evening and carefully following any feeding or dietary instructions provided. I also know how important it is to be prepared incase of an emergency, so I just ask you share your vets contact information and preferred emergency clinic. At home, I am a dog mom to Chloe and Hubba Bubba, a cat mom to Bitty, and I also have a fish. Over the years I have cared for rabbits, chickens, a squirrel, chameleons, snakes, and more. My home is currently a dog and cat household, but if you have other pets in need of care I am happy to discuss!

It was great having her as my sitter. She really was an awesome great help for me in the spare moment of an emergency care for my dog. I would consider her to everyone pet owner I know. She sent me pictures show how much fun Rocco was having and happy he was. Nicole is amazing. My dog just fell in love with her and wanted to go back. Thanks Nicole. I will be reaching out again soon some time.

Nicole was great! Our two dogs had a blast. It was so nice to go out of town and not worry about our pups. We knew they were loved and taken care of. We will be back to book with Nicole again in the future. 😊

Nicole is a great sitter. My dog Kingston loves playing with her two fur babies and running around in her backyard.

Nicole was great! She has a large backyard and the dogs get to run around and play. When we dropped him off, he was too busy playing and didn't miss us leaving. We are confident he has had a great vacation with her. She communicated well and send us pictures with updates about him, . You can tell she has a lot of experience with dogs and I think she took excellent care of him.

Schedule

I work from home, so I have flexible availability to care for your pet as needed. For drop in visits or walks at your home I generally prefer day time hours. If over night or night time care is needed I prefer to have the pet stay at my home so I can keep a close and consistent eye on them, including the backyard.

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding I provide each guest dog with its own space separate from my pets to help reduce stress and give them a call place to relax. If your dog does well with out animals and seems more comfortable in a multi pet environment, I am happy to let them spend time with my dogs under supervision. For walks I prefer that your dog uses a secure non slip leash and harness to help keep them safe at all times.

Pets

A typical day

Every day kicks off with a burst of excitement as the pets head outside for their morning play session, followed by a well‑earned breakfast. Once everyone’s bellies are full, I dive into my work while still giving out attention, snuggles, and entertainment as needed. By “lunch”, which Hubba Bubba confidently believes is at 10 a.m., the pets get a snack or a fun enrichment activity to burn off some energy. In the evenings, if the weather cooperates, we take a stroll before sunset or hang out in the backyard so the dogs can zoom around like they’re training for the Olympics.

I prefer that any dog boarding in my home has a social or indifferent temperament toward other dogs. While I’m able to keep my cat separate, I’m not able to rotate dogs in and out all day, it wouldn’t be fair to anyone, and I want every pet here to feel safe and included. If your dog isn’t a good fit for a multi‑dog environment, I also offer drop‑ins and house sitting, which may be a better match for their comfort and routine.
