I currently have three children in school (ages 15, 13 & 8). My children have been taught to respect all animals and I do not have toddlers or preschoolers. I will absolutely spoil your dog if it’s a lap dog! I will also spoil the medium and larger size babies as much as possible!

Information Nicole P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs because that’s important! I would prefer but do not require a meet and greet for new clients to ensure every dog’s happiness, comfort, and safety. Furthermore, if there is anything you do not want to happen (ie no treats, or avoid certain toys etc.) then I would want to know that, too! Finally, please let me know if your dog has special medical needs. I have experience with a senior dog that I had to administer daily liquid medication to prevent seizures.

A typical day

I like to play fetch with the dogs and snuggle if they are cuddlers. I also will walk around my neighborhood, which is a very safe area with a pond and paved walking trail. If you desire, I will play with your dog by working on reinforcing any tricks you are working on, and provide training treats that you can approve of first.

Pet care experience

I had 5 dogs in childhood and the first thing I did when I lived on my own was get a 5 pound toy poodle. She lived to be 15 and passed away in May 2021 and I miss her terribly so any small dogs will be treated like a queen in her honor! It’s not an easy feat to have a dog when you move every other year but we treated her like a family member and as a result she got to live in Europe and all over the US. I have four years of experience on Rover, and I have experience selling goods online for over 20 years of 1000+ 100% positive feedback. I aspire to bring the same level of customer satisfaction to my dog boarding, sitting and walking business. I will communicate as much as you desire for your peace of mind about your dog’s comfort and strive for excellent customer satisfaction to every person and pup that I have the honor of working with.

Nicole and family took very good care of Anya! She was very accommodating on very short notice. We were lucky to find her.

Nicole provided an incredible home for my pups. I am new to the area and was a little nervous leaving my pups but Nicole was the absolute best and made me feel at ease and took great care of Hazel while I was away. A gazillion stars! Great experience!
