Excited to watch your doggo(s)!

Hi! I’m Nicole — a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog mom to my sweet 10 year-old Australian Shepherd, Gunnar. We provide a calm, loving, home-based alternative to crowded boarding kennels, with lots of attention, outdoor time, and personalized care for your furry family member. We live near beautiful hiking trails, parks, and open space, so your pup will get plenty of walks, playtime, fresh air, and affection. Gunnar is incredibly friendly, gentle, and gets along wonderfully with other animals. Because of his easygoing nature, I do ask that dogs staying with us are non-aggressive and well-socialized. I’m happy to accommodate special routines, medications, dietary needs, and individual personalities — I understand every dog is different and deserves thoughtful care. Whether you need help during a busy work week, a last-minute business trip, or an upcoming vacation, I’d love to help make your pup feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like family and strive to create a warm, relaxed environment where they can feel right at home. We’d love to meet you and your pup!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced grassy yard and right by a big park. I like to do at least 3 walks per day and am fine with doggies sleeping with me if they want or need!

Pets

A typical day

Fun activities can include neighborhood walks, park adventures, light hiking, supervised playtime, enrichment toys, cuddle time, outdoor lounging in the sunshine, and relaxing evenings at home. Gunnar loves having dog friends around, and we try to create a fun, low-stress environment where pups feel like part of the family. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, we’re happy to tailor activities to help them feel comfortable, stimulated, and loved while you’re away.

Important things to know about me: I work from home frequently, so your pup will receive lots of companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I truly understand how much dogs mean to their people, and I take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously. My home is calm, loving, and outdoors-oriented, and I prioritize safety, communication, and making sure every dog feels comfortable and secure. I’m especially attentive to dogs who may need a little extra patience, reassurance, or individualized care while their families are away.
