Safety, trust & environment

🐶Dogs who board with me are in a real home with a fenced backyard, not a kennel. They get space, routine, and plenty of love. I keep things structured so they feel secure, and I'm always attentive to how a new dog is settling in. 🐱For cats, I believe the best care happens on their turf.I come to you, keep their routine intact, clean their litter, handle feeding, and make sure they get some company before heading meowt.

Information Nicole M. would like to know about your pet

The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and right at home! 🐶❤️ Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medications, or behavioral quirks I should be aware of! Whether it's food allergies, a specific feeding routine, anxiety triggers, how they do with other dogs, or any fears and habits. I want to know it all. Feel free to mention their favorite toys or comfort items to bring from home too.

A typical day

🐾Morning yard time for potty & fresh air, feeding, backyard playtime, midday yard break, afternoon rest & cuddle time, evening yard time, dinner, and a final nighttime potty break outside. 🎾Backyard fetch, chase, hide-and-seek with treats, toys, exploration time in the yard, and snuggle/chill time inside!

Pet care experience

I've spent my whole life around animals and it shows. Whether I'm boarding your pup, caring for your cat, or out on a walk, I bring patience, attention, and genuine care to every situation. I've picked up a lot along the way (including some time as a vet tech assistant), but mostly I just love animals and treat every one like they're my own💛

Nacho is a very selective Chihuahua who immediately adored Nicole. He exhibited none of the signs of anxiety he generally does when he meets someone new (or even someone he has met several times). He accepted Nicole as one of his special people and behaved as well (if not better!) for her than he does at home. Nicole sent us photos of Nacho napping, taking walks and looking completely adorable while he was in her care; we could see how content he was and were able to have peace of mind while we were traveling. Nacho will definitely be staying with Nicole the next time we need a dog sitter.

Nicole was amazing watching my dog colt for a week at her house! She communicated consistently and sent plenty of pictures which I really appreciated since I missed him so much! She was always kind, responsive and easy to talk to. Colt is my whole world and I felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!

Nicole took such amazing care of our puppy while we were away. She gave her so much attention—playing with her, loving on her, and making sure she felt safe and happy the entire time. No kennel, no constant crating—just genuine care and comfort. Nicole is a total win for us every time! We are all so lucky 🩷
