Information Nicole L. would like to know about your pet

Please make sure you have a complete pet profile within Rover, including a photo, veterinary information and care/feeding instructions. An up to date copy of your pup's vaccine record will be needed, sent by photo through your initial request is great. Please do not allow your pup to visit if they are experiencing any digestive issues.

A typical day

Our days consist of indoor and outdoor play galore. The door is typically open from the inside dog space to the fenced backyard. Pups play in the kiddie pool, play fetch, wrestle, zoom, sunbath or catch a nap in the dog space throughout the day.

Your Pups Home Away From Home!

Pet care experience

Experienced, full time sitter, with a fenced backyard and dog room for sleeping. I have a great space for pups to make new friends and feel comfortable while their family is away. Please make sure you have a complete pet profile and review the information below, prior to sending a request. Thank you for your interest! My home is equipped with plenty of dog beds and indoor & outdoor toys galore. My motto is - a tired dog is a happy dog! This is a great place for pups to burn energy during your work day and a home away from home during your trip! I host multiple dogs at a time and have a fantastic group of well socialized, regular visitors. My home is best suited for friendly, trained and socialized pups. Happy to accommodate to shy & senior pups. Can handle basic medical issues, such as administering ear drops, eye drops, medications, bathing, etc, with ease. I understand your dog is a member of the family and can keep up with all special requests. *Please ensure your pup is up to date on all vaccines, flee prevention and has a clean fecal exam prior to their visit. We can have a full house some days and want to keep all the pups healthy!*

Another wonderful stay with Nicole in the books! All I can say is we have never considered anyone else to watch our pups after meeting Nicole! We get regular updates, pictures, and it’s obvious how good of a time our pups had when they come home! Can’t say enough how grateful we are to have Nicole to care for our pups when we go on vacation. We are never worried about them and know they are in the best hands. Thank you for everything Nicole! You are the BEST!!!

I can see the care and love my little pup receives throughout the day from the photos, and not worry about him while I'm away: He's in good hands, and he's happy. Thank you so much, Nicole!

Nicole has been great every time we have left our boy for multiple days in a row. It's been a huge relief to never have to worry about our dog while we are gone. We know he is in great hands and always get updates and pictures throughout the stay.
