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.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was fantastic. I could tell Haley’s best part of day was her time with Nicole! She was a total natural and welcomed her in our home and with Haley. Come again please Nicole.

Nicole is wonderful! She always keeps me updated on how my pets are doing and takes the best photos, I love looking at them every day!

Nicole was great! Super communicative and drop off was so helpful. Would absolutely book again!
Nicole takes great care of my dog, Lucy. She’s so excited to see Nicole she does zoomies when she arrives. Nicole is very communicative and reliable.

Nicole and Jess are the best. Shadow had another great multi day stay of finding sticks, long walks/adventures, toy time, and of course, snuggle time. We are so happy he could stay with them again!

Nicole, Is the best. Shadow stays with her a few times a year and he LOVES it! He gets lots of walking adventures and plenty of snuggles. And Nicole’s dog, Jess, is nice enough to let Shadow stay for a few days at a time. We love knowing that he is comfortable and having fun!

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.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsNicole can host up to 1 drop-in per day
- For boarding, I usually host dogs 20+ lbs and 2+ years, since that’s what meshes best with my dog Jess (a sweet 45lb lab mix). For walks and drop-ins, I’m happy to care for dogs of all ages and sizes.
