Availability

I’m a teacher, so I have more time in the summer but do have evening and weekend availability during the school year. If you choose to board, your pet will have 24/7 access to the yard through our dog door! My husband works from home most days with the exception of Wednesdays, so there is almost always someone home with your pet unless we are gone for activities with our kids.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard, a dog door, and a friendly dog. If your dog is used to having free reign of the house when you’re gone, that will be the case at our house as well, and they will have access to the yard through the dog door. The door does have the ability to lock if escaping the yard is a concern. If your dog doesn’t learn the dog door, we will ensure they are able to get outside plenty. We will also respect any requests to crate during the day or at night.

Information Nicole & Jay S. would like to know about your pet

Are they friendly with children? I have a 5 and 7 year-old, so any boarders would need to be kid-friendly. I would also need them to meet my dog to make sure they get along.

A typical day

We will walk around our large neighborhood, play fetch, and do any tricks the dogs knows.I will give lots of snuggles and make sure they are as comfortable as possible! My two kids love to run around and play with dogs and they will give them loads of attention!

Pet care experience

My dogs are like my children, and I treat other peoples' dogs the same way. I have had dogs growing up and currently have two. Two of our seniors have recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and we miss them dearly. In addition to clients through Rover, I have done dog-sitting for friends and neighbors with great success. I make sure dogs in my care have plenty of companionship and exercise. I believe in rewarding dogs for good behavior rather than punishing them for doing something wrong. I do work full time as a teacher but can am home in summers, and my husband works from home most days. For boarding, we have a dog door and a fenced in yard, so your pet can roam freely if you choose. We would just need to make sure our dogs all get along! I adore dogs and will shower yours with attention. Dogs in my care get very spoiled with lots of love!

Nicole, Jay AND family, took great care of our 95lb baby. We have never left her alone for an extended period - but, we received daily pictures and reports of how comfortable she was becoming. We are so thankful that they opened their home to our pup.

I can’t say enough good about this family. My dog now knows when we turn onto their street! She’s so glad to see them every single time she visits. If I could, I’d give them 10 stars!

Josie loves this family! She’s always eager to run to the door when I drop her off! Nicole and Jay and their children are a blessing!

Nicole and Jay are amazing, as are their kids. This truly was a family affair in watching our two dogs. We have two large dogs (one golden mix ~ 90lbs, and one Great Dane ~ 110lbs) and this family welcomed them both with open arms. They were communicative (lots of great pics) and extremely conscientious. We would absolutely work with them again and know that our dogs were cared for extremely well.
