About Nicole S.

Communication

23 repeat pet parents
88% response rate
Usually responds in under an hour
70% bookings with photo updates

Skills

25 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

As a lifelong dog owner and lover, I treat my clients' dogs with the same kindness and dignity that I treat my own. For boarding, I have a fenced in backyard to allow for unleashed playtime. I have space to accommodate a dog's crate in my home. I will also allot time throughout the day for uncrated time indoors. I am happy to send photos and videos of your dog to document the dog's time with me. I typically send at least 1 photo per day and no more than 2 so not to overwhelm you with messages. If you would like to receive more communication than this in a single day, please bring this to my attention when you are booking or delivering your pet.

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs or requirements, I am happy to help; please let me know when you message to inquire about booking. Potential Clients: Please be honest in your profile about your about your dog’s spay/neuter status. While I accept puppies (under 1 yr) that are not spayed/neutered, I do not accept adult dogs (1 yr+) that are not spayed/neutered. It is unethical and unsafe to be dishonest about your dog’s spay/neuter status.

A typical day

I am happy to walk or run with your pet, play fetch, or visit a local dog park if that’s something your pet is already accustomed to.

Trustworthy, Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have owned and cared for dogs of a variety of breeds for the past 25 years, including Miniature Pinschers, Toy Fox Terriers, Shih Tzus, Pomeranians, Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Great Danes, King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, Brittany Spaniels, and Dalmatians. I am an avid runner and will run up to 5k with your dog if you have a high energy dog that will benefit from this service.

Nicole and her family took wonderful care of Billie while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Billie is a high-energy dog, and they provided such an active, loving, and supportive environment that she immediately felt right at home. Nicole kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. I especially loved the thoughtful little touches—like playing Billie Eilish songs for Billie! It was clear that she was treated like part of the family and received lots of attention, exercise, and affection. I am incredibly grateful for the care, communication, and kindness they showed. I would absolutely trust Nicole with Billie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dog as if it were their own.
