Dog lover! Work from home & fence.

Pet care experience

I love dogs! I have cared for dogs my whole life. First with family dogs while growing up and now with our own. We currently have a golden retriever and know especially how important activity and fun are! I strive to provide a personal experience for your dog while they are here. Large day cares or pet boarding facilities won’t provide the type of one on one time that I prefer (for not only my own dog but for yours too!). This is why I limit the number of guest dogs I have at one time. I prefer to be able to be present and able to give proper playtime/cuddles equally! So know that your pup will get a one of a kind care experience here.

Hades has the BEST time with Nicole and her family! He looks so comfortable and happy in every picture she sends, and it makes being away from him a little easier. She provides quality play time and chill time and Hades gets along great with her golden, Penny! Will absolutely book with Nicole again :)

Hades had a wonderful time with Nicole and her pup! We felt confident that he’d be in good hands leaving him there for the weekend. She sent updates frequently and he looked happy and content in all the photos. We’d love to have her watch Hades again anytime!

Nicole and her husband took really good care of our dog. He was happy and relaxed when we picked him up. Nicole kept in contact with us and shared pics. Will definitiely use Nicole again!!

We love guest dogs as our own! We have a very large fenced in yard that I let our dog, Penny, run around in (monitored, my office window looks into the back yard) for short periods of time to play and do her business. While inside, your dog will have access to the whole house. At night, your dog can sleep in our bedroom or if you prefer to crate your dog at night, we can do that as well.

Information Nicole N. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if there are any behavioral issues and how well your dog gets along with other dogs. It’s very important to have our dog, Penny feel comfortable with guest dogs too.

A typical day

We would play outdoors and have lots of cuddles! We have a variety of toys inside and outside. Walks around the neighborhood are always fun too!
