Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nicole is a true pet lover and wonderful person. I just had an opportunity to meet her after she’d been caring for my pup for months. She is reliable, punctual, caring, and just a ray of sunshine!
We love having Shadow stay with Nicole and Jess. She keeps in touch and we feel so comfortable with him in her care. She was especially loving with Shadow when he had some anxiety around the 4th of July fireworks. She’s the best!
Nicole was excellent - very communicative and tender with our little girl.
Great communication, prompt, and very patient with my dog who is new to in home care and suspicious of strangers !
Thank you so much for the recap and pictures!
Always very accommodating and goes the extra mile to ensure your dog gets the love and care they deserve. Outstanding!

Schedule
I specifically only accept one pup at a time for both boarding or daycare to ensure focused attention and premium care, and come with both senior dog and special needs experience. Your pup will enjoy a safe and loving staycation while you’re away. I work hybrid with flexibility to work from home on all days of my choice… so exercise and attention are never in short supply and I will be home the entire duration of their stay.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
A little about me: I adopted my dog Jess when she was nine months old, and she’s now a spirited 15-year-old. She’s had everything from allergies to kidney surgery, so I have years of hands-on experience with special needs, senior care, medications, and quirky personalities. If your dog needs extra attention, I’ve got it covered.

A typical day
We live down the street from no fewer than four different parks, with a ton of outdoor grassy space, and I love spending time outside and exploring the neighborhoods, forest preserves, and coffee shop patios. For walk clients, I tailor the route to your dog’s needs: short potty breaks, long strolls, or high-energy playtime.
