Pet care experience
A Golden Welcome For Your Pup! 🐾
As a proud dog mom with six years of pet care experience, I know firsthand how much our furry family members mean to us! I have a three-year-old golden retriever of my own and truly enjoy spending time with dogs, getting to know their unique personalities, and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved. I understand that leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, which is why I want every owner to feel confident that their pup is in good hands, whether it’s for a walk, a quick visit, or an extended stay. I treat every dog as if they were my own and take the time to learn about their individual needs, preferences, and routines to ensure they receive the best possible care. As a registered nurse, I bring the same attentiveness, patience, and sense of responsibility to caring for animals that I do to my professional work. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and enjoyable experience for every dog in my care, while giving you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is receiving the love and attention they deserve!

Ratings and reviews
Our boy Ben takes time to warm up to people but he took to Nicole instantly. She was very calm and patient when she met him and he felt that. Now he can’t wait for his walks with her! Thanks so much Nicole!
Nicole loves dogs, she always has, ever since she was a little girl. She loves her dog Coop like he is a person. She has cared for our many doggies over the past 20 years and they have loved her in return. I would trust Nicole 100 percent with any pet sitting and/or dog walking. She is responsible, smart and very trustworthy.
Nicole was great with my dog, Bob! He is a sensitive and stubborn soul and she was patient, kind, and caring with him. Would definitely recommend and trust her for walking my fuzzy family!

Schedule
Caring for dogs is already a big part of our daily routine! I work part-time as a registered nurse, and when I'm not at work, I love spending time with our golden retriever, whether we're enjoying hikes and walks, playing outside, or relaxing at home. My husband works from home, so someone is available throughout the day to provide regular bathroom breaks, companionship, and plenty of attention to our boarding guests. We're available for boarding seven days a week and are happy to accommodate both short visits and extended stays. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits, with availability around my work schedule. I aim to maintain each dog's usual feeding, exercise, and sleeping routines, ensuring they receive consistent, personalized care whether they're staying in our home or I'm visiting them in theirs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities! We live in a welcoming home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised, off-leash playtime and regular bathroom breaks. We share our home with our three-year-old, neutered male golden retriever, who enjoys playing and socializing with other dogs. Before accepting a new boarding guest, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is comfortable and gets along well. Visiting dogs are treated like part of the family and are welcome on our furniture and beds. They're free to sleep wherever they feel most comfortable, and we have the ability to provide separate spaces when needed. To help keep everyone safe and happy, I follow each owner's care instructions, supervise interactions between dogs, and provide separate feeding areas. When providing dog walking or drop-in visits, I take the same thoughtful approach to caring for your pup. I follow your instructions, respect your home, and ensure your dog receives the attention and care they're accustomed to in their own environment. Whether your dog is staying with us or I'm caring for them in their own home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you peace of mind knowing they're in good hands!

A typical day
Every dog is different, and I love tailoring our activities to their individual personality, energy level, and preferences! Whether your pup enjoys long walks, outdoor adventures, playing fetch, or simply relaxing and soaking up some attention, I'll make sure their day includes plenty of activities they enjoy. For boarding guests, a typical day includes morning bathroom breaks, breakfast, walks, outdoor playtime, and plenty of opportunities to relax and recharge. Our golden retriever loves having a playmate, so your pup can enjoy some extra companionship and playtime if they enjoy the company of other dogs! I also love incorporating enrichment activities to keep dogs mentally stimulated and entertained! We have a variety of enrichment puzzles and interactive toys to keep curious minds busy, and I make sure to allow plenty of sniffing and exploring time during walks. I believe that mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise when it comes to keeping dogs happy and fulfilled. For dog walking and drop-in visits, I'll tailor each visit to your dog's needs, whether that means an energetic walk, some outdoor playtime, enrichment activities, or simply spending quality time together. I'm also happy to provide photo updates throughout their stay or visit so you can see what your pup has been up to while you're away!

- Before caring for your pup, I'd love to learn a little about their personality, daily routine, and individual needs! Please let me know about their feeding schedule, exercise preferences, allergies, medications, or any special care requirements so I can make their experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I'd also appreciate knowing about any behavioural considerations, such as separation anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, or anything that might make your dog feel uncomfortable or anxious. Understanding their likes, dislikes, and any unique habits helps me provide the best possible care. For boarding guests, it's especially important that your dog is comfortable around other dogs, as we have a friendly golden retriever of our own. I prefer to arrange a meet-and-greet before accepting new boarding guests to ensure everyone gets along and feels comfortable. Whether your pup is staying in our home, joining me for a walk, or receiving a drop-in visit, the more I know about them, the better I can tailor their care to their individual needs!
