Nicole has watched our dog Summer several times over the course of many years. Nicole is always our first choice to take care of our twelve-year-old yellow lab retriever. We are comfortable with Nicole staying at our house for an extended stay or taking Summer with her back to her home. She feeds Summer on time, takes her for walks, and plays with her. Nicole happily follows our rules for Summer, even as they evolve over time — like keeping the dog off new furniture in our house. When we return home from an extended stay or a weekend getaway, the house and yard are always clean. Nicole has also watched our children on several occasions. We have had a relation with her for over a decade. She is trustworthy and comes highly recommended.
