Caring, Cool Dog Caretaker

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs all my life and I have a corgi named Brisket. He's an awesome little guy with a lot of personality. I've cared for my friends dogs countless times and we always have a blast! My approach to caretaking is to treat every pup like they were my own and make sure that they are not just well taken care of, but they have fun too! I work from home so I am able to be with your pup all day and walk them on their typical schedule. Don't worry if you are working on any training - we can incorporate that as well. Finally, I like to do meet-and-greets with my dog at the park to make sure everyone would have a good time if you are boarding at my house.

Nicole did a great job with our super energetic pup! Very flexible on the drop off and pick up times. Highly recommended!

If I could give more stars, I would. They went above and beyond with our high maintenance pooch. We have been working and training our dog for years and where a little nervous about a sitter maintaining our rules and guidelines. Nicole was perfect. They did everything just right and kept our training on track. I highly recommend Nicole!!!

Nicole was wonderful! I have a very high needs doggie (wants lots of love and attention all the time) and she took amazing care of him! As a doggie mom, I so appreciated the updates and pictures of him daily :) - as it can be just as hard for the humans to be away from their fur babies! I highly recommend Nicole to take care of your four legged family members! I think at the end of the week Chopper thought he had a new family because he was so well cared for and loved :)

Nicole was AWESOME! I would highly recommend her for puppy sitting. We left our 7 month old puppy with her for 2 weeks and Nicole was awesome about sending updates and making sure Riley felt like she was at home! We'll definitely use her again :)

Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet

I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds so I welcome all well-behaved, friendly guys and gals :) I do prefer to sit dogs that are crate trained. Because I work from home, I very rarely need to use the crate but I find that it is helpful for your pup to have a place where they feel comfortable to go just in case they are missing home or need some time to themselves.

A typical day

My neighborhood is very walkable and doesn't have a lot of traffic so I walk my dog and visiting dogs in the neighborhood often. There are numerous dog parks nearby and if your dog is comfortable, we can even go to the beach!
