Playful Paws Boarding & Pet Care

I have worked with dogs all of my life. I love animals and offer peace of mind that your pets are well cared for. With experience in caring for animals of all ages, I understand dogs' needs for mental and physical stimulation. As a stay-at-home mom with open availability, I ensure frequent pet outings. Your pet's safety and care are my priorities. Let me know any special needs or diets, and I'll follow your instructions closely.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 07, 2026

Nicole is an extremely caring dog sitter who makes suggestions and is creative to help my dog have the very best experience possible! I know that Maisie is being well cared for in all her needs.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 26, 2026

Nicole does a wonderful job with Maisie! My girl gets anxious very easily but after just three visits, she's starting to break out of her shell. I can tell Nicole is a real dog lover.

Drop-In Visits • Oct 21, 2024

Nicole did a great job. she sent updates and pictures. This was a last-minute booking and she came through and we couldn't be happier with her service. We will definitely be using her again in the future and, would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.

Boarding • Aug 04, 2024

This was my first time leaving my dog with someone new and let me just say Nicole made it such a positive experience. She was so thorough during the meet and greet, asking questions I didn’t even think to mention, then lots of pictures and updates through the days away. She made me feel like I was leaving Nova with family-Nova had an amazing time and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Will definitely be using Nicole again 🤩

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I have flexible availability for boarding and doggie daycare. Boarding requires at least 2-3 day notice for booking to ensure time for meet and greet. Pop in visits require one day notice and no cancellation fees for same day cancellations.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced acre for ample exercise and will follow your pet's routine. I'll provide updates with pictures. For in-home care, I'll adhere to your rules and special care needs. Please inform me of any special requirements or reactivity. There are chickens on the property. The safety of our chickens is very important to us so please let me know of any behavioral issues in regard to small livestock animals.

Pets

A typical day

As an active person, I ensure dogs get mental and physical exercise. I use puzzle feeders and daily training. I will provide plenty of exercise for your dog!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Please inform me of any food allergies, sensitive stomachs, or special needs. Your dog's health and safety are my top priorities. I know it's stressful to leave your pets, so I'll provide frequent updates and pictures. Dogs must be non aggressive as there are small children in my home. Please provide pet’s bowls, food, bed, and other necessities to help make them most comfortable.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
