Pet care experience

Lover of dogs, Home full-time

Hi! I am a mom of a 4 kids and an 12-year-old Border Collie/Golden Retriever mix. I'm home all day so I have lots of time to play, check in on, and walk your pups. I do leave home from 2:45-3:20ish for school pick up. I love all dogs and enjoy spending time with those 4-legged pups. I treat them as one of my own. We try go for a walk every single day. Depending on the weather, we go for walks in the morning or play in our large backyard. Your pup will have a friendly Border Collie to be buds with as well. My dog is older and has lower energy level. She enjoys being with dogs that have low or medium energy level. Because of my dog’s age, she does not enjoy having high energy dogs in our home. Kaiya is super sweet! She is suspicious of new dogs for the first hour but after that is very chill.

Nicole was great to work with! She took great care of Stella and kept me informed with pictures and texts the whole time. I would highly recommend her.

Nicole took care of my dog, Barkley, for 4 days and he couldn’t be happier. He got his meals, a good share of walking, and playtime. I got regular updates while I was away on a trip so my mind was at ease knowing that Barkley was in good hands.

Nicole took very good care of my dog, including special care and medications. She returned home in great condition and seemed happy. I’d definitely recommend Nicole, and will rebook in the future.

Schedule

As a stay-at-home mom of four, my days are full of routines that keep our household running smoothly. One of the constants in our daily rhythm is caring for our beloved senior dog, who’s been part of our family for years. Since I stay at home, throughout the day, pet care fits in seamlessly with our family flow. I make sure the dogs have fresh water and go potty as often as they need.

Safety, trust & environment

In our busy household with four kids and one lovable dog, pet care is just part of our daily rhythm. Every morning starts with a walk — it’s good for all of us. Our dog gets the exercise and attention she loves. Pet care in our home isn’t just about tasks — it’s about making our dog feel just as loved and cared for as the rest of the family.

Pets

A typical day

When I watch pets, I love making sure they feel right at home and part of the family! We start the day with a walk — it's a great way to get moving and explore the neighborhood. If they enjoy playtime, we’ll spend time tossing toys in the backyard or playing a gentle game of tug indoors.

Please, let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My dog is older now so she mostly sleeps around all day, aside from our daily walks. Please let me know if your dog likes to chew on toys, has potty or separation issues, or anything else that may be helpful for their stay with me.
