Chopper can't wait for Nicole to show up. He sits by the door and waits for her anxiously. One happy pup. She's great, definitely would recommend her

Once again Nicole was amazing. Cooper is always super excited to get picked up and super tired when he comes back so I know he had the best time playing with her and the other dogs. We will definitely be rebooking in the future!!!! Thank you for taking care of our little guy!!!

Wow. Just amazing. Nicole is a very caring and attentive dog sitter. This was my first time using Rover/dog sitter and I couldn't have been happier. She provided comfort and care to my pup during one of the most stressful times of the year. I am overwhelmed by how wonderful our experience was with Nicole. Highly recommend!

It was a PLEASURE to have Nicole drop in on our baby, Maverick while we were out of town. Our usual sitter was unavailable for our last minute trip and I scrambled trying to find someone right before having to leave. Nicole was available to meet right away and she took the best care of him. I could tell from the moment he met her that he would love her. All of his check in pics had a huge smile on his little face lol We’ll definitely be booking with Nicole again in the future!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

We're able to provide a personalized experience based on the age and personality of each dog, whether it’s a quiet day at home or an adventure-filled outing. Rest assured, your dog is always our top priority! I do dog walking and drop ins as well. This requires me to be outside the home for short periods. Please prepare accordingly if your pet requires crating or anxiety support during my appointment times. Potty break and treats are provided before I leave and after. If I feel the dogs personalities will get along together nicely, I will bring them with me. We take dogs out every 2 hours during the hours of 7am-9pm, with potty breaks starting the moment you leave after drop off and during the night if we get up. Treats after potty breaks to reinforce good habits.

Safety, trust & environment

Pet first aid kits are in home and with us on adventures. Medicines like dog calming support and digestive help for dogs with diarrhea are provided if needed. I have equipment for administering liquid medication as well. My husband Jake is a firefighter paramedic and is able to administer injectable medication. Your dog is in caring hands!

A typical day

Your dogs will get frequent potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, treats, and occasional trips to the dog park, lake, or walks/hikes depending on the weather. The routine changes based on the dog, but it’s all about keeping them active, happy, and well cared for during their stay. **PLEASE READ: On occasion dogs require extra care to maintain hygiene and safety. Please make us aware of the following: if your pet has sensitive stomach (provide diarrhea medication prior to visit); if they like to eat or roll in poop; if they have a tendency to destroy blinds, shoes, etc; and if they are escape artists.
