Pet care experience

Your pets home away from home ❤️

Hi! I’m Nicole. 🐾 While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to pet care! I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and started pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors while growing up. Before opening my own successful pet care business in Miami, I worked in professional boarding and daycare facilities, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. It was there that I learned bathing, deshedding, nail trims, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and coat care. More importantly, it inspired me to create something different—a true home away from home where pets receive personalized, one-on-one care instead of spending their stay in a kennel. Over the years, I built a successful pet care business in Miami, earning the trust of hundreds of repeat clients, families, professionals, and even celebrity clients. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, so your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, supervision, and companionship in a safe, cage-free home. I treat every pet like family and love sending daily photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved. As a little thank-you, every boarding currently includes a complimentary spa refresh before pickup with a bath (if needed), brushing, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, a nail trim (if tolerated), and a fresh spritz. I can’t wait to welcome your pup into our family! ❤️

Nicole is great! She took such good care of our little pups daily walks and always sent the cutest photos. I would absolutely book her for walks again. Thank you so much and Luna thanks you too!

Nicole was great with Archie. Her baby and Archie played and snuggled together. Was too cute. And she sends lots of pics!

Nicole was amazing with our dog and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free for us. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Our dog was so happy and comfortable with her, which means everything to us. She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated while we were away. We’re really grateful for all the love and attention she gave him and would absolutely trust her again anytime!

Nicole was absolutely amazing with my dog, Bindi! From the moment we met her, I could tell how caring, loving, and attentive she is with animals. She treated Bindi like her own and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me so much peace of mind. Bindi came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely passionate about pets!

I have known Nicole for over 7 years, and there truly is no one I trust more to care for my dog. She is incredibly attentive, responsible, and genuinely loving with animals — the kind of person who treats every pet like her own! Any time my dog has been with Nicole, I’ve had complete peace of mind knowing she was not only safe and well cared for, but also so loved. She goes above and beyond in every way, and it’s so clear how much she genuinely cares about the animals and families she works with. We feel so lucky to have found her, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough 🤍
