Pet care experience

Reliable, Loving & Experienced Care

Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver serving Weston and nearby Broward communities. I've had the joy of caring for many different breeds and personalities over the years, including Poodles, Toy Poodles, Pomeranians, Shih Tzus, Schnauzers, Yorkies, and rescued/stray dogs. I've also cared for friends' dogs for days and even weeks at a time, so I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you genuinely trust. I currently have a friendly Toy Pomeranian who is accustomed to being around other dogs. Because of my experience, I especially enjoy caring for small and medium sized dogs, puppies, and friendly dogs who enjoy companionship. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I follow feeding and walking instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and affection, and send photos and updates so you can relax knowing how your pup is doing. Let's chat!

Nicole has watched my pets many times for me over the years. As a bilingual woman, Nicole goes above and beyond in every interaction to communicate well. Her education (having an MBA) shows while caring for my little fur babies, as she always has a checklist, notes on my preferences, and a proper time schedule. I would highly recommend her!

Schedule

I am currently working from home with a flexible schedule. I live in a safe gated community and also have a gated backyard for free play and exercise. I offer Dog Walking & Drop-In Visits perfect for dogs who need a midday potty break, exercise, playtime, companionship, or a little extra attention while you're working or away. I also offer In-Home Boarding in my own home for small and medium-sized dogs who are friendly with other dogs and children. I keep boarding intentionally limited so each dog can receive individual attention and feel comfortable in a home environment rather than a traditional kennel setting. Before boarding, I like to arrange a meet & greet so we can make sure your dog and my home are a good fit.
