Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is not neutered, please let us know. Since we watch other dogs, we see lots of marking behaviors from dogs if they have not been fixed in the house. We are continuously cleaning in the house to erase the “odor” of other dogs. Please let me know if you dog has any special needs or can’t be around other dogs. If they have any dietary needs, please make sure to provide all necessary food and medications.

A typical day

I wake up early to get ready for work. I can walk and feed your dog before I go to work, then again as soon as I get home. Then play fetch or take a walk in our dog friendly neighborhood.

I’ll treat your dog as my own

Pet care experience

I have had many different types of dogs in my life, such as a Pomeranian and a golden retriever. I also used to have an olde English bulldog. Our last dog was a Bassett hound/boxer mix. He crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2025. I love taking dogs for long walks in the neighborhood or around different trails. I think it’s important for dogs to get as much exercise as possible. I also would love to throw a ball or lay around and cuddle with your dog. We also have a fenced in backyard for dogs to run and get plenty of exercise. Your dog will be a part of our family when they stay with us. I am available most afternoons. I am also available Friday afternoon through Sunday. I would love to help take care of your dog while you can’t be there. Please just let me know what you and your dog’s needs are and I will help as much as you want.

Nicole and her family were exactly what we needed. Communication and photos were plentiful and the love I could see that was given made me not have to worry about our dog while we were away. We will absolutely use their services again!

Nicole was awesome with Gus. She helped out on short notice and was able to spend a little extra time with him to see if he would eventually go potty! I plan on using Nicole again in the future as I need a dog walker!!
