Where every dog's on a Staycation!
Pet care experience
Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who loves to play fetch or a senior dog who prefers cozy naps and gentle walks, I tailor my care to fit each dog’s unique needs. I’ve handled everything from feeding routines and medications to cuddle sessions and zoomie breaks — and I love every minute of it! Your dog isn’t just a guest — they’re treated like family.
Reviews
One of the best rovers we have experienced treated my Bella as if she was her own !
Ahroo seemed like she made a lot of friends!
Nicole is such a thoughtful and caring caregiver! She is very attentive to details and will tailor her care to your pet's exact needs. She is incredibly responsible and trustworthy.
I've known Nicole for a couple of years, and she is truly one of the kindest, most caring people I’ve met. I’ve seen her care for dogs many times—she’s always attentive, gentle, and loving. She genuinely connects with animals and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and happy. I highly recommend her as a responsible and compassionate pet caregiver.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I've ensured that all play areas are free from hazards. I take every precaution to provide a safe space for dogs of all sizes. Pet first aid kits are in home and with us on adventures. Medicines like dog calming peanut butters and digestive help for dogs with diarrhea are on hand at no cost. I will send you a message for the ok-go to use them if they're needed. Any medications or soothing helps you have are needed and appreciated in your dogs overnight bag during their stay. Each dog gets it's own drawer so medications, treats, doggy bags, etc. don't get mixed up with other pets items during their stay. I have equipment for administering liquid medication as well. You can relax knowing your dog is in caring hands, receiving the attention, love, and supervision they need. With plenty of cozy spots for naps and lots of opportunities for play, your dog will feel right at home — and you’ll feel confident knowing they’re in a safe, loving environment. **PLEASE READ: It's rare, but on occasion I find special care and fees must be applied to some dogs I sit for. I prefer transparency so I've written the rest of this section so there are no surprises. For dogs that are found to have a penchant for rolling in poop, dogs with diarrhea that requires more than baby wipes, dogs that potty inside my home and on my belongings, and dogs that destroy belongings or furniture - any needed dog baths, privates grooming, cleaning costs, and repairs will be added to the stay or negotiated through Rover support depending on the damage. Incident documentation and photographs will be provided to you in our visit conversation. Prices for grooming will be as listed below in, "A Typical Day" and on the menu. Cleaning will be $5 for each inside potty. I can purchase diapers for owners and add them to the visit fees to prevent further necessary indoor potty cleanup. If extensive damage is done we will go through Rover. If you are aware your dog has any of these problems, please notify me before hand. I'm better able to prevent these things from happening if I know in advance and we can plan better together for the care your dog will need during their stay. Dog diapers must be provided for dogs with the bad habit of going potty indoors or for dogs in heat. I provide restroom breaks every 2 hours maximum but this is sometimes not enough for some pets. Crates are required for dogs with destructive habits. This is to ensure a safe, disease-spreading free, hygienic environment for your pet, other pets staying with us, and our family. I do 1 walk and 1 drop in for pets outside my home a day. So for pets that need crating: treats are given going in and coming out of their crate when I leave and return for positive reinforcement. Time crated lasts no longer than 1.5 hours. Potty breaks are given before and after crating. Crating will be utilized if provided during indoor potty clean up to keep your pet away from the initial bleach treatment. If not provided, pets will separated from the area by going into the bathroom. Crating is not used for time outs in our home, only safety. Dog crates remain open as a safe space for your dog to retreat to unless I'm out of home. Other than my dog care outings, I or my husband are always present.**

Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet
Before your dogs stay, please share details like your dog's daily routine, allergies, and any medications or health issues. I also need to know if the dog is in heat, as this affects behavior and care. Please provide diapers for pets in heat. It’s helpful to know about their potty schedule, exercise needs, any fear or anxiety triggers, and preferences for playtime. Lastly, knowing their comfort with car rides or trips to specific spots ensures a safer and more enjoyable experience for your pet.
A typical day
Your dogs stay involves lots of fun and activity! Each day starts with a walk, sometimes longer or shorter depending on the dog’s energy and the weather. I give them frequent potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, and occasional trips to the dog park, beach, or hikes to burn off energy. Dogs are wiped down after outings with baby wipes to help keep them clean. On special days, we grab a fun treat like pup cups! The routine changes based on the dog, but it’s all about keeping them active, happy, and well-cared for during their stay. **For those who request grooming** - Grooming includes a thorough wash, and drying with shed control. My specialty quiet dog dryer comes equipped with a vacuum during post dry brushing to help get rid of excess undercoat. This is used in tandem with dog undercoat combs that are able to untangle fur and cut through matting. Privates hygienic grooming: is available upon request for an additional $10. Booty, privates fur, the surrounding belly, and thighs are trimmed down to keep your dog more hygienic after each potty break. Great for dogs with long fur, curly fur, anxiety diarrhea, and poor digestion. Nail trim with nail filing: is an available $5 add-on. Our nail trimmers have guards on them to prevent over trimming. In the event that an over trim happens, we have styptic powder on hand to stop bleeding immediately. (Nail grinding is an available alternative for small dogs.) We have muzzles of all sizes on hand for anxious dogs with openings for noses, to keep them and me safe during grooming. Treats are given before and after grooming for positive reinforcement. Calming support can be given to anxious pets as well.

Availability
As a full-time dog care provider, my schedule revolves around the well-being and happiness of your pet. I’m available throughout the day, offering flexibility to meet your pup’s needs, whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, or frequent potty breaks. I prioritize consistency and reliability, ensuring that each dog gets the attention, care, and exercise they deserve — every single day. With my full-time dedication, I’m able to provide a personalized experience for each dog, whether it’s a quiet day at home or an adventure-filled outing. Rest assured, your pup is always my top priority! I have 1 walk, and 1 drop in for dogs outside my home scheduled daily. This requires me to be outside the home at a time for a maximum amount of 1.5 hours per each visit depending on the distance and length of visit. Please prepare accordingly if your pet requires crating, diapers, or anxiety support during my appointment times. Potty break and treats are provided before I leave and after I return.
