Information Nicole P. would like to know about your pet

Please give me some details about your pet before I take them on so I can make sure I give them the best care. What is their energy level, routine, what don’t they like, etc?

A typical day

I like to talk the dogs in walks a few times a day, give them puzzles, play fetch, or let them run around in the backyard.

Nicole was absolutely wonderful with my 3-month-old miniature dachshund, Pippa. I was very nervous about leaving such a young puppy for a week, but Nicole immediately put my mind at ease. She was kind, caring, and clearly treated Pippa like one of her own. Throughout the stay, Nicole sent daily updates, photos, and videos, which gave me so much reassurance and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Pippa was in great hands. It was obvious that Pippa was receiving lots of attention, love, and excellent care. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Nicole and Brendan are the best! Highly recommended! So glad we found someone to take care of Boston so we can get away!

Nicole watched our 2 month old puppy for 10 days. We were in a pinch due to a trip, and she did a fantastic job with our puppy. Her own dog played so well with our pup, and even helped socialize our pup. She provided daily updates which helped us know that everything was going well, and that our puppy was happy. I would recommend Nicole to anyone, for any type of service.
