“Just like Home”

I grew up with the mind set that a dog is forever. Once you both say yes it’s til death takes us apart. With that being said...I lost my Annie girl (yelllow lab) a couple years ago to cancer. Since then I have been the “hot spot” for friends & family to bring their pups because they know I have so much love to give. I can not bring myself to get another dog but know that my love for them should not be wasted. Your pup will feel right at home in my two story, fenced in yard house. I won’t spoil them with anything other than hugs, paw shakes and high fives!

Nicole is amazing to work with! I loved her professional communication and love for animals she is caring for. Her home is clean and beautiful and she sent me pics throughout the day and even sent me a Christmas card worthy photo of my sweet Lucy in front of a tree that looks very professional! My sweet girl felt at home right away with Nicole and I look forward to booking with her again in the future! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Nicole is BEYOND amazing!! I have never felt so comfortable leaving my pup with someone else. She was always communicating with me and sending pictures. She truly treats every dog like her own!! Even asked if we would do a meet and greet and asked permission before giving my pup treats. Truly an amazing caregiver!

Nicole was recommended to us by a family member and we are so glad she was! Nicole kept our dog Togo so we could attend a family function out of town. I was impressed with how professional she is. She had us bring Togo to her home ahead of our trip so that we could see where Togo would be staying and that she provides a safe and loving environment. She truly loves dogs and treats them as a member of her own family. She takes the time to get to know the individual needs of the pets she cares for. Togo enjoyed his stay with her and we had peace of mind knowing that he was so well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely leave him with Nicole again!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in two story home with a fenced yard. For safety reasons I do not walk the pups I care for. No need to worry though…they will get lots of exercise in my back yard!

A typical day

Up at 7:00am or earlier if your baby needs outside. Being outside is my favorite so lots of ball throwing, tug of war and of course “zoomies”!
