Your Pup will be a Family Member!

Pet care experience

Our 90 lb yellow lab passed away in 2016. We miss having a dog but don’t want the full time responsibilities. So we like to babysit approximately one dog per month. My husband and I both had dogs growing up as well as cats...so we really miss not having a pet in the house. We will take great care of your pup! We prefer dogs that are more mellow and no special needs. And unfortunately we do not feel comfortable with pitbull or mix of pitbull.

Nicole was so kind. Wallace came home happy and well cared for. He didn't have any adjustment from staying with Nicole to coming home. He is a senior citizen pup with special medication needs. She has senior dog experience. Contact, drop off and pick up with Nicole were easy.

Very thankful we chose Nicole to take care of our dog. She reached out with pictures and updates which we appreciated and was able to meet before our trip so we felt comfortable. We will be using her for future trips!

Nicole took great care of our Corgi, Dave, for the week. Drop off and pick up were easy. Our dog was returned healthy, clean, and happy.

Nicole was great with our pup, Bentley! She was quick to respond, sent many updates/photos, and Bentley was happy when we picked him. We would certainly recommend Nicole, and use her again!

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

We generally prefer dogs over 20 lbs and older dogs. I hope to take in dogs that are well behaved (especially on a leash) and good with kids. My daughter is 12 so I want to make sure that dogs are not aggressive. We also prefer low maintenance dogs without a lot of special needs or pages of instructions. We really do not want any anxious or high energy dogs.

A typical day

I work from home and will walk your pup 2-3 times a day We live by trees and trails which makes for a pleasant walk. I try to mix up our routes too
