Pet care experience

Care, 🩷 and lots of room to play🥏

🐕 Doggy Day Care / Overnight Stays At “InPack" @ Cedar Mesa,🌳 your pups are special guests who quickly become part of our pack. We are located on 6 Hill Country acres🪻🐛with plenty of space for dogs to relax, explore, and play. Our guests enjoy two fenced areas. One is connected directly to our home, with room to stretch, enjoy fresh air, and lounge in the shade. 🌞The second is a larger open run and play area for playtime. I have a clear safety structure. Dogs of different families are carefully introduced and when they are together, they are always supervised. We also have plenty of space if a doggo needs their own quiet area. Pups are welcome to snuggle on the couch🛋️, or they can relax on one of our many dog beds and blankets inside. We also have two large kennels and one small kennel available if needed. 👩 About Me I’m an animal person through and through and have had pets my entire life. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages—from puppies and kittens to seniors. I also have a diabetic dog, so I’m comfortable giving injections and medications💉💊. Friends have trusted me with their pets for years during vacations and business trips, and since joining Rover I’ve loved meeting all my new clients. At home we have two dogs🦮🐕‍🦺, two cats🐈🐈‍⬛, a small container pond with goldfish🐠, and a tadpole kindergarten🐸. There are bunnies🐇, birds🐦, and deer🦌that call Cedar Mesa home as well. I’m a professional and a mom, so I understand how stressful it can feel to leave your pets with someone else. Trust doesn’t come easily. I provide frequent updates 📷📱and communication so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and cared for. 🤗 I also work from home, which means my schedule is flexible and I can spend plenty of time giving your pets the attention and love they deserve. 🏡 Drop-ins / Walks 🦮 I understand that allowing someone into your home can feel stressful. You can rest assured that I treat every home with respect and care. While you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets receive the same love, attention, and care you would give them yourself—because I know how much they miss their people. 👘🐈‍⬛ My philosophy Kyōsei (共生) is a Japanese concept meaning living together in mutual care and respect. Animals are not simply pets—they are companions sharing life with us. My role is to be a gentle guide and caretaker while they are with me, honoring their needs, personalities, and independence. Whether your pets needs a place to stay, a place to play or socialize, a visit from me, or a walk, I am dependable and dedicated to their care and guidance. I look forward to meeting them and you! *Need special accommodations or request? Message me and I will see what I can do.*

Dog Walking • Mar 16, 2026

Nicole has been fantastic to work with. Our fur baby is such an important part of the family, we are always cautious of whoever is caring for her. Nicole is not only very kind & professional, but also reliable and flexible. She administers our pups medications, spends quality time playing/walking her, and also has been kind enough to clean her up if she happens to get dirty. Our dog loves her! I can’t rave about her enough, we are so grateful to have found her! 10/10 recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I know that allowing strangers into your home can be stressful, but rest assured, I am very respectful of your home and it's belongings. I will give your pets my full attention and make sure they have everything they need. I know your babies will be missing you so I am happy to step in and make sure they get that love and attention you would give if you were there.

Pets

A typical day

Drop ins: I will arrive and greet your pet like I they are my long lost best friend! Because they really are. I have never met a pet I didn't like. I'm sure they will tell me what their favorite toy is and what game they want to play that day. If they tell me they want rubs and cuddles, I'm so down for that. If that just want to eat and chill, well I understand that, let's chill. I look forward to finding out what your little (or big) one wants to do at each visit. At my home: Come stay and play. Lots of outside space and time to play. I supervise playtime for pets of different families. Mostly, the pups like to explore and socialize, but we can play ball or Frisbee, tug of war and even tag. If it's hot we can play in the water or just stroll through the trees. After all that play, we can relax on the gazebo or deck. When we get tired, we will come in and snuggle on the couch and nap. Water is always available. Snacks are given at your discretion. If your pets are staying the night, I will offer dinner and breakfast (or let me know their needs.)

I'd love to hear all about your pet's personality. What do they like and dislike? Are they shy at first or are they happy to meet a stranger? How do they do with other animals? What are their medical and care needs?
