I have a decently sized yard that is fenced off, so your dogs can play around safely! There are also quite a few parks just a few minutes from my house so I can take them out to explore. I will do all I can to ensure that your pet feels loved and comfortable. If you have a dog in training or have certain rules for your pet I will make sure to stick to them in order to create a smooth transition back home!

Please inform me of any feeding/walk schedules, allergies, as well as any medications your pet will need to be given. Also of any triggers they have and what comforts them! I want to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable!

A typical day

I love taking pets on walks around the neighborhood and nearby parks. I love playing fetch and tug of war with them as well and can be as active as they need me to be!

Pet care experience

I come from a family of animal lovers and have had the pleasure of meeting and taking care of a variety of dogs with unique personalities and needs! From dogs with intense anxiety and disabilities to ones who just require a little extra love and care! I have two small dogs of my own and have administered medicine and cared for them after any vet visits/procedures.

Our dog stayed with Nicole for a last minute sleepover & we greatly appreciated her flexibility. We got frequent updates throughout his stay and he was happy at pick up! This was our second time with Nicole & we look forward to working with her again!

Nicole is clearly a lover of all dogs! She was professional and responsive, and sent daily updates throughout the boarding. Our dog looked happy in her updates and when we picked him up!

Nicole is a kind, responsible caregiver for my dog. He looks forward to seeing her every week and he has become a part of her family. She’s prompt and always available, even at the last minute. I would highly recommend Nicole as someone to watch your dog!
