"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." Having to leave your pups in someone else's care can be unnerving, I know firsthand because I have had to use the service. Our pups are our family members and we want to ensure they are well taken care of. I invite you and your pup over to meet us and see our home. Your furbaby will be treated as family here. We have a 7 year old Jack Russell Terrier Mix that simply adores his playtime with other dogs, as well as a 4 year old female Italian Greyhound Mix. We allow them and guest pups full reign of the house and backyard. They have their own room to sleep in at night so we do not need to crate, however we welcome you to bring your pup’s for their comfortability. We take at least one long walk a day and visit various dog parks occasionally. "Dogs do speak but only to those who know how to listen." - Orhan Pamuk

Ratings and reviews
I cannot rate her because she had a family emergency on short notice. Hopefully all is well. But her responses to my varying schedule before whatever happened were warm and she was flexible. Since I have to rate her based on that, a three is over halway to a five.
Our dog and us were first timers to dog boarding but Nicole did everything possible for our dog and us to have best first experience. Our dog went in happy and came out happy. We will be repeat customers.
So happy to have found Nicole on Rover. She took great care of our dog, Jack. We had to be out of town for a few days and couldn't take him. He gets seperation anxiety, so we thought it best he stay with someone. Nicole has a calm manner and welcomed him with open arms. Jack took to her family and dog DJ quickly. He sometimes has issues with being around other dogs but he loved playing with DJ! She also listened when we talked about Jack's issue with being around bigger dogs. She made sure that her "sitting" schedule wouldn't include big dogs while Jack was there. That was very appreciated. We liked that she allows her visitors on the couch, bed, wherever. This is very much how we run our home and wanted Jack to be as at ease as possible. Her home is cozy and fur baby friendly. She sent us daily photos and updates. Nicole also graciously kept Jack an extra night, which wasn't scheduled, when our plane was delayed several hours. We picked up a happy and calm boy the next morning. So happy with the care and attention he received. We would call on Nicole again.
Nicole did a great job taking care of my dog, Brutus! He had a great time staying in her home, and got along great with the family and other dogs that stay there. I received plenty of pictures and updates during his stay which I appreciate a lot because I missed him so much!
Nicole was great looking after Paddington for 3 weeks whilst we were away on vacation. He came home happy and well looked after. I’d be confident to use Nicole again!
We were in Livermore CA for a work event and needed to find someone to look after our 5 year old puppy for the day. We were very lucky to find Nicole. She was super nice and took great care of Cervantes. Cervantes came home tired and didn't want to say goodbye to Nicole. Thank you again Nicole!!!!
