Gaurdian care at your doorstep! 🐾
Pet care experience
I have a strong background in managing a vet office and surgical center. My love for adopting shelter pups and fostering has grown, and I'm experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and breeds. Each pet is unique and special, and I appreciate the traits of every breed. Additionally, I'm now caring for cats as well, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I'm excited to bring my passion for pet guardianship to your furry loves!

Nicole is the best! I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Nicole is the best! I never worry about my dog when she is taking care of him. She is thoughtful and loving; any time I need someone to walk or watch him, she’s my go-to! Thank you, Nicole!

A typical day
When I watch and care for dogs, I make sure to engage them in a variety of fun activities tailored to their preferences and energy levels. Some of the activities I might enjoy with them include: Playtime in the backyard or a nearby dog park, with fetch, tug-of-war, or running games. Enrichment games, like puzzle toys or treat-dispensing toys to keep their minds stimulated. Leisurely walks depending on their exercise needs and abilities. Belly rubs, ear scratches, and cuddle sessions to provide comfort and affection. Relaxing indoor activities, like watching dog-friendly videos or listening to calming music. By offering a mix of play, exercise, and relaxation, I ensure the dogs I watch have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience during their time with me. I treat them exactly like I do my own dogs!
