Pet care is woven into my daily life! I work remotely, so I'm home most of the time with my dog, Duke. Our day naturally includes walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, and lots of attention. Adding another dog or two just makes our days even better — more walks, more belly rubs, more joy! Caring for pets isn’t an "extra" task for me — it’s part of how I live every day, with lots of love, care, and companionship. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, pets are treated just like family! They have free roam of the house, a large fenced backyard to play in, and lots of love and attention. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — whether that's meal schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and at home, and I always tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. Your pup will get plenty of affection, exercise, and of course — treats (if allowed)! 🐶❤️

Information Nicole M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know anything that will help your dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable! Things like their daily routine, any allergies, medical needs, fears (like thunderstorms or loud noises), how they get along with other dogs, and any special quirks or preferences. I want to match the love and care you give them at home, so the more you share, the better! 🐶❤️

A typical day

Your dog will have full-time access to a large, fenced-in backyard — perfect for playing, exploring, or just soaking up the sun! 🌞 We also love going on hikes at a beautiful park nearby (with your permission, of course). Whether it's backyard zoomies, sunbathing, nature walks, or just lounging around together, your pup will have a fun and happy stay with us! 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Nicole – dog mom, dog lover, and Duke’s human. We’d love to welcome your pup into our home. I’ve been pet sitting for over 20 years and have cared for hundreds of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Your dog is in experienced hands. I know firsthand how stressful it is to find a sitter you can trust – we’ve moved around a lot over the years, caring for dogs across the country and around the world, and we know how hard it is to rebuild that trust with someone new every time. When you book with me, that search is over. Every dog in our care is treated like family, full stop. Our home comes with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can go outside whenever they want – no scheduling, no waiting. Duke is a small guy who grew up around big dogs, so he’s relaxed and unbothered by dogs of any size. He’s great company and an easy housemate for visiting pups. I work remotely, which means your dog gets real attention throughout the day – walks, playtime, and plenty of downtime together. Big or small, shy or social – we’re happy to have them. We can’t wait to meet your pup. Nicole and Duke 🐾

Nicole is an excellent caring host. She has a wonderful large grassy backyard with a big tree providing shade and has a pack of nice regulars that are all easygoing . Overall it was an excellent experience for Cookie.

Nicole was awesome with Moji. Lots of toys and love for him during his stay, and lots of pics for me. Highly recommend!
