I worked in a professional pet care facility for 6 years and I am now working in a Theater. Due to some lulls in my schedules I am hoping to get back to loving on all different types of animals while their owners are away or just need extra help

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large fenced in yard with a 6ft+ fence to keep all dogs safe while giving them plenty of space to run. I do not keep any chemical, plants or other substances that would be toxic to pets and they will always be supervised while having playtime to make sure it is going well. And if your animal just wants a quiet space, I have rooms to do that for them as well!

A typical day

I have a larger backyard that is perfect for playing ball, fetch or just getting the zoomies out! I try to be outside when the weather is nice and organize some playtime indoors when it is not. Pup cups and play dates in the park are also always a must!

Pet care experience

I worked in a professional pet care facility for 6 years and that taught me all the skills I need to care for any pet. I can administer any kind of medication to your pet in a calm and safe manner. I am able to continue any training that may have been started for puppies or a new dog as we all know consistency is the key. I have a very social and loving dog of my own if your pet needs a friend. Most of all I will love on your baby(ies) like they are my own!

Nicole has quickly become one of my favorite dog sitters. She takes great care of my dog Stella. It's nice to see how excited Stella gets when she recognizes the house and when she sees Nicole and her dog. Stella had a great time playing with Nicole's dog during her visit

Nicole was absolutely amazing with our very energetic hound while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with regular communication and sent adorable pictures throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind. Her dog, Vader, is the sweetest, and it was adorable to see them playing together. Our pup now has a new best friend! We would definitely recommend! 💖
