Fulltime Furry Friend Sitter
Pet care experience
I've taken care of many different types of dogs throughout the years. I have a special love for dogs but love all animals big and small! I don't just want to do a job, it's more about building a lasting bond with your pet. I want them to feel comfortable and safe with someone their owner can trust to care for them. I can walk them, play with them, administer medications and provide doggy daycare with a big fenced in yard for them.
Reviews
I unfortunately have to give Nicole a one star review. Throughout my dogs stay there was very limited communication and updates unless I specifically asked how my dog was doing. The reason for the one star however is my dog was attacked by another dog while in Nicole’s care. I do not blame this on her what’s so ever however it was pretty clear based on my dogs injuries that another dog was going after him for a few minutes before someone intervened. My dog is bruised all over his neck and has wounds to his neck and chest. Nicole took 24 hrs to let me know that something had happened with my dog and when she did she did not report on the full extent of his injuries.
I made other accommodations for my dog but it changed last minute. Nicole was quick to reply and accommodate. My pup was well taken care of during her stay with Nicole. I received pics and videos regularly that made me feel good about being away and having to leave my dog. Nicole is very friendly, helpful and provided a nice environment for my pup!
I can tell my dogs really enjoyed themselves
Nicole did an amazing job watching our puppy! She sent us tons of pictures and videos while we were on vacation. We will definitely use Nicole again for future dog sitting!

I have a big fenced in yard for dogs to play/potty. I am able to walk big dogs, small dogs, loud dogs and shy dogs!!

Home
Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any dietary restrictions or any other things that help the pet be more comfortable in a new environment. I'm very good at reading a pets body language but I'm sure as a pet parent you may have some special tricks for your furry friend! Also would love to know if there has been any aggressive traits and how we can help to curb that. We can always find a solution to make your little loved one feel comfortable, safe and happy.
A typical day
I have two parks close by where I love to take the dogs. One has a large fenced in dog park where the dogs can play off leash. The other has a nice round about to walk on leash and burn off some energy. I also have a large yard where I love to play fetch with the dogs and get some good exercise going by running back and forth with them. I have 3 kids, all over the age of 11, but growing up with animals I always made sure to teach them animals are not toys, but living, breathing, feeling beings. They are also great with animals and know to respect pets and give them their space. They love animals and would definitely join in the fun if a furry friend wants more playtime!
