Pet care experience

The biggest dog lover you’ll meet

I’ve been around dogs of every size for my whole life. I have owned a 2 lb teacup poodle and a 120 lb Golden Retriever. Neighbors, friends, and family often come to me when they are out of town to watch their pets.

Boarding • Mar 30, 2026

We were quite nervous at first, as it was Gracie’s very first time staying overnight somewhere. However, those nerves quickly disappeared thanks to Nicole’s warm, caring, and relaxed approach. She immediately made both us and Gracie feel comfortable and at ease. It was incredibly reassuring to see that Gracie stayed in such a clean, welcoming home with plenty of space to move around freely. She was clearly well cared for and happy throughout her stay. We also loved that she had the opportunity to run and play in the yard with Jagger—she had an amazing time! Nicole went above and beyond in her care, and her genuine love for animals really shows. We are so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and wonderful place for Gracie to stay. Highly recommended!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 08, 2025

It was our first time using Rover and Nicole put me at ease throughout our communications and sent some lovely images throughout the day. Kenny was exhausted when we got him home, which is always a good sign - very happy with our first experience with Rover!

Nicole took really good care of our Labrador. Very pleased with the service, messages and photos while we were away and we will be booking Nicole again in the future.

Schedule

I’m available for boarding on weekends, as well as during the week for repeat clients by request. I do my best to stay flexible and accommodate each pet’s schedule and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM in the office, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the morning before work, during my lunch break, and anytime after work.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a house in Covington, LA with a large fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run and play. Inside, there’s ample room for pets to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I always prioritize each pet’s safety and individual needs. Pets can be kept separate or allowed to interact and play together based on their temperament and owner preferences. I aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where every pet feels well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes daily walks around the neighborhood, plenty of backyard playtime, and lots of love and attention. I make sure pets are fed on their regular schedule and always have fresh water available. There’s also no shortage of cuddles and relaxation time! I like to balance play and rest so each pet feels happy, comfortable, and right at home.
