Pet care experience

Hello there! I'm a lifelong animal enthusiast with a heart full of love for all creatures great and small. From cats and dogs to lizards, snakes, guinea pigs, turtles, and fish – I've cared for them all. I'm here to extend my passion and expertise to you and your furry, scaly, or feathery family members.

Nicole did an awesome job taking care of my doggie, George - I know he had a great time with her and her boys. I can really tell that Nicole has seasoned experience with dogs and really knows how to handle any situation. I felt very comfortable leaving George for 6 days in her care - thank you for such phenomenal communication, and attentiveness towards him (and lots of photo updates!). I will definitely be booking through Nicole again!

Nicole is a warm and caring person and Chloe had a wonderful time with her and her 2 boys. I received plenty of updates, photos and videos. I would not hesitate to entrust Nicole again with my precious fur ball.

Nicole and her family are super sweet and welcoming. We felt super safe leaving out little guy with them! He got so much love and they did a ton of stuff with him-he definitely wasn't sitting around on screen time the whole stay ? Will use her again whenever we come down to SD!

Nicole was excellent! She watched my 13 week old puppy for 3 days of doggy daycare - no easy task - and did such a wonderful job. He was excited to see her again on days 2 and 3 which says a lot. She follow our care instructions and gave him tons of love and outdoor time as well. He came home happy and tired each afternoon :) highly recommend Nicole!

Information Nicole J. would like to know about your pet

Your Pet's Happiness, My Priority I understand that every pet is unique, with their own set of likes, dislikes, and quirks. Your dog's comfort and well-being are of utmost importance to me, so I'd love to know what makes them happy and what helps them feel safe and at home. Getting to Know Your Pet: Likes and Dislikes: Share with me the things that bring a wag to your pup's tail and anything that might make them uncomfortable. Whether it's a favorite toy or a particular spot for belly rubs, I'll make sure to cater to their preferences. Special Quirks: If your dog has any peculiar habits or little quirks, please let me know. It's these unique traits that make them who they are, and I'll embrace them wholeheartedly. Dietary Needs: Inform me about any food restrictions, allergies, or special dietary requirements. Your pet's health is paramount, and I'll ensure they get the right nutrition. Comfort and Safety: Does your pet have a preferred bed, blanket, or crate? These items can make them feel secure and comfortable. I'll create a welcoming environment for them. Your insights will help me provide the best care, making your pet feel truly loved and at home. Together, we'll ensure their stay is a delightful and stress-free experience.

A typical day

Active Adventures Tailored to Your Pup For our high-energy furry friends, I'm ready to embark on daily adventures that'll keep their tails wagging and spirits high. I believe in following your dog's lead to make their day as exciting as they desire. Morning Routines: We'll start the day with an invigorating morning walk, ensuring they get that much-needed exercise and fresh air. Car Rides: If your dog enjoys car rides, we'll hop in for some exciting journeys. It's all about catering to their likes and dislikes. Playtime Galore: Since I work from home, we'll have plenty of play and potty breaks throughout the day. Be it fetch, tug-of-war, or any favorite games, I'm their playtime partner. Adventurous Outings: If your pup loves adventures like hikes or beach days, we're in luck because we're close to all of those. We'll explore new trails, frolic on the beach, and make unforgettable memories together. Cuddles and Chill: On the flip side, if your dog prefers relaxation and cuddles, we can do that too. Whether it's a cozy evening on the couch or a quiet moment in the sun, I'm here for those peaceful moments. In short, I'm here to ensure your pup's happiness, be it through action-packed fun or tranquil relaxation. Your dog's happiness is my top priority!
