Pet care experience
The number one reason to choose me to care for your fur baby is that I love dogs and I work from home as an Operational Manager for a medical company based out of Dallas, TX. Having the luxury of working from home, I get to be with my fur babies and yours all day. Other pet sitters in the area have the same life style as most Americans where they have to leave their pets at home for eight or more hours a day to go to work. This is not the case with me. I have a very demanding and stressful full time job. The pet services I provide are for me, my passion and hobby. I'm sure you have heard that by just petting a dog a day reduces your blood pressure levels. I guess this is why I have three of my own and enjoy taking care of others to reduce my stress level. A little bio of my experience and love for dogs: I did not have a dog growing up and so after I got married, my husband, Chris and I bought two dogs immediately! The first fur baby we fell in love with was Koa. We rescued Koa from a puppy mill. Koa is a male Maltese and is six years old now. A few weeks after getting Koa we adopted a pure breed female Boxer from a breeder in Austin, Texas. Our boxer, Maui is also six years old. For three years it was my husband, our two dogs and myself. After three years with Koa and Maui I was itching to add another dog to our pack. My husband was against adding a third dog so I started volunteering at a No Kill Animal Shelter in Dallas, Texas so I could be around as many dogs as I wanted. I convinced my husband to visit me at the shelter one day while I was volunteering and we left with our third dog!:) We fell in love with a three year old Boxer mix and named her Hana. Soon after we added Hana to our family my husband took a promotion in Flagstaff, AZ with his company. We live in a very large town home with a fenced in back yard near nature trails. I can utilize the five separate floors to accommodate specific doggy needs. Having three dogs and a toddler, adding a fourth dog is out of the question. I have that itch again to rescue another so this is why I am on Rover.com. I love my three dogs like they are humans and would treat yours the same. All three of my dogs have pet insurance and are all micro-chipped. Koa, Maui and Hana are up to date on their vaccines and are on Sentinel for heart worm, flea and tick prevention. Obviously they get along with other dogs very well and they love to meet and play with new dogs. I look forward to caring for your fur baby when you need a break, vacation or emergency. You will have piece of mind knowing your fur baby is in a safe and loving environment so you can enjoy your time away.
Reviews
Nicole was great! It seemed like our dog had a lot of fun staying with her. I'd highly recommend her to anyone.
Nicole is wonderful.she is accommodating with the schedule, warm and enthusiastic and I feel each time when I drop off and puck up my dogs that they are in a secure and nurturing environment with Nicole and her lively family. She!s a "six star sitter" in my estimation!
Everything was great. The house was clean and organized. Nicole sent pictures and took my pup for a walk.
Absolutely wonderful experience with Nicole and Chris. From the initial conversation, to the meet and greet, to the drop off, and pick up of my dog after the week long boarding in their home, everything was perfect. My dog was taken excellent care of, and I received regular photos and updates as to how things were going. Nicole and her husband were warm, caring individuals who obviously loved what they were doing. I felt completely at ease having them take care of my dog, and knew from my initial meeting with them in their beautiful home, that they would be ideal dog sitters. I can't stress enough how great a job Nicole did from start to finish in the process of setting up my dog's stay in her home, to the excellent communication while I was out of town for a week, to returning my dog in perfect health and with a happy demeanor. Just a great home, and a fabulous couple to have take care of my dog. Highly recommend Nicole and Chris, and will definitely ask them to take care of my dog on my next trip.

Is your dog good around young children? Is your dog house broken? Is your dog crate trained for night time? Is your dog good with other dogs, different breeds and sizes? I love all breeds, this is why I have a small, medium and large sized dogs.
A typical day
My two boxers like to play tug of war with any dog that will participate. The neighborhood we live in is dog friendly and is next to nature trails. I like to throw Frisbees and balls for the dogs to catch.
