🐾 Peace of Mind While You’re Away
👋 Hi, I’m Nicole! As a lifelong Hamilton County resident centered in the Westfield area, I bring a level of professional maturity, structural stability, and specialized experience that gives families total peace of mind. I proudly serve pet parents across Westfield, Carmel, Noblesville, Fishers, and surrounding areas. With a flexible daily schedule, I offer the true consistency and reliable availability your dogs need to maintain a seamless, predictable routine. My Background & Specializations: 🐾 Multi-Dog Households: Highly experienced in managing multi-pet dynamics, complex feeding routines, and individual medication schedules. ⚡ Sensitivities & Anxiety: Specialized in providing structured, calm care for dogs with environmental anxieties, sound phobias, or strict behavioral routines. My core focus is primarily on high-quality daytime drop-ins and daily walks, though I do consider overnight house-sitting selectively on a case-by-case basis for compatible homes. 🐕 Service Breakdown: ☀️ DROP-INS (30 Minutes): Perfect for a mid-day refresh! Every drop-in includes a 10–15 minute neighborhood stroll or backyard playtime for physical relief and mental stimulation, alongside a fresh food/water top-off, medication administration, and indoor companionship. The Rover Report: You'll receive a detailed Rover Card showing exact arrival/departure times, photos, and a complete potty/behavior update. 🌳 WALKS (30 Minutes): Dedicated entirely to continuous, focused outdoor exercise—ideal for active dogs or homes without a yard. Includes a full, structured walk tailored to your dog's natural pace and a food/water refresh upon return. The Rover Report: The app provides a GPS map of our exact route, distance covered, timestamps, photos, and a quick potty report. ⚠️ Important Heat Safety Note: To keep your pups safe, when the heat index rises above 90°F, outdoor walks will be shortened to quick potty breaks to protect paws and prevent heat stroke. The remaining time booked will be spent indoors doing fun brain games, low-energy play, or getting plenty of belly rubs and fresh water! 🏡 HOUSE SITTING (Overnights): A premium, dedicated care experience designed to keep your pup's stress low in their own familiar environment. Includes complete adherence to their established routine, basic home care (watering plants, rotating trash/mail), and consistent communication with daily photos. To guarantee the highest level of safety and focused attention, I only accept ONE house-sitting client at a time and book exclusively based on household compatibility.

Safety, trust & environment
How I care for pets in your home: Because I provide care exclusively in your home and neighborhood, my top priority is maintaining a secure, predictable, and low-stress environment for your pets. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep safety at the forefront of every single visit. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & House Sitting): Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your exact instructions regarding feeding, gating, crating, and medication windows to keep your dog's day entirely predictable. Environmental Management: For dogs with anxiety or sensitivity to storms and fireworks, I proactively manage the environment—closing blinds, playing calming background music, and utilizing precise comforting techniques to minimize stress. Home Security & Discretion: I ensure doors are securely locked, alarms are set, and gates are latched during every entry and exit. While house-sitting, I maintain a lived-in presence, bring in mail, and strictly respect your privacy and property. Out on Walks: Double-Check Gear: Before stepping outside, I always verify that collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted and in good condition. Distraction-Free Handling: I maintain full situational awareness on our walks. I do not use headphones or look at my phone, ensuring my eyes are always on your dog, the path ahead, and any oncoming distractions or stray animals. Weather Safety: I actively monitor weather. If pavements are too hot for paws or a storm rolls in, we will seamlessly pivot to structured, energetic indoor play and mental stimulation to keep your pup safe and happy.
Ratings and reviews
Second time using Nicole and again very pleased! Reached out short notice and she was available and always quick to respond! Highly recommend and will be using her again in the future.
Nicole was great with Pete! She was very thorough and sent lots of pictures!! She was available the day before and was able to come for a meet and greet before too! I definitely recommend her!
Loved!!! Will book again!
Nicole was fantastic with my two senior dogs. She kept a consistent schedule, made sure they had their meds and supplements on time, and was an extremely respectful house guest. You can always tell your dogs felt safe and care for when they’re so calm greeting you after your trip. I would absolutely recommend her, she was amazing!
Our dog is undergoing chemo therapy so he is not 100% feeling good. Nicole took extra good care of him and did a great job!
Nicole was great with my senior pups!

Schedule
I operate on a highly flexible daily schedule, which allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my routine without rushing. Whether I am dropping in for a daytime visit or house-sitting overnights, your dog’s schedule becomes my priority. My routine allows me to provide an extended daytime presence for dogs who need extra companionship, ensuring they are never left alone for long stretches. I plan my weeks around my bookings to guarantee absolute punctuality and reliability for every dog I care for.

Do they have a tendency to pull or bolt? 💊 HEALTH & DIETARY NEEDS: Are there any strict medication windows, food allergies, or specific dietary restrictions I need to follow? 🦴 MULTI-DOG DYNAMICS: For multi-dog households, do they need to be fed separately, or are there any resource-guarding behaviors I should be aware of? 🔑 HOME LOGISTICS: Are there any specific house rules, off-limit rooms, or security/alarm protocols I should know for drop-ins or house sitting?
