Pet care is my passion!
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Nicole and I love dogs! I have years of experience with dogs of all ages, my last two dogs lived to be 14 and 16 respectively so I have a lot of experience in senior care. I have cared for many different breeds and have no preferences, however I have the most experience with German Shepards, Greyhounds and Shiba Inus. Currently, I have an unneutered 7 month old Shiba Inu puppy, so I can only care for other puppies or friendly, non aggressive, adult dogs at this time. Meet and greets with both dogs are a mandatory part of my booking process. I want to make sure that our dogs are comfortable and that I will be a good fit for your family! If you are like me, your dog is a family member. As a fellow dog owner I take that seriously. I expect only the best for my furbaby and in return will give the best care to you and yours. Your pooch will have tons of fun with me!
Reviews
Nicole was so great! She sent lots of pictures and updates and our dog had a great time playing with her pup! Will definitely use her services in the future!
Thank you Nicole, Bryan, and Roland for taking such good care of Nala while I was out of town!!
Our dog boarding experience with Nicole was awesome! We received consistent, clear communication as well as ample photos and videos. My dog, Sensi, got tons of cuddling time and belly rubs, as well as some good long walks. Nicole works from her safe and cozy home with a great fenced in back yard, which made me feel very comfortable leaving Sensi. We will definitely reach out to Nicole next time we need dog boarding. Thank you for everything!!
Bonnie had a great time with Nicole and Bryan! We received a lot of pictures and updates. I was very comfortable with Bonnie staying with them and she warmed up to them so fast! It was a worry free week away.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard and the ability to spend most of the day supervising pets in the home. I am able to work with both crate trained and non crate trained dogs alike. I only board one dog at a time so I am able to give your dog my full attention. Even though I am very active I understand and do not judge if your dog is not as outgoing as some others, I will do everything in my power to make sure your dog is comfortable here in my home, and I will make sure to communicate with you openly and honestly before, during and after your dogs stay with me. This goes for short term and long term clients, your dog will always be treated like part of the family.

Information Nicole V. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate 100% honesty about your dog. It does not matter to me if he may not be the best toy sharer or can be picky about eating around other dogs. NO JUDGMENTS HERE! If I know everything about your dog (including the more quirky traits) I am able to provide the best, customized care for their individual personalities. No two dogs are alike! I do have a puppy in the home so I ask that all dogs boarded here be friendly with other animals. Leash, treat and food reactivity can be worked with on a case by case basis as I have the tools to separate them as needed for feeding and walking, but a general non-aggressive attitude toward other dogs in the home is a must for booking with me. Please list if your dog needs any medication. I have administered pills and pre-dosed oral medications but I would love to talk with you about any special needs so that we can both be comfortable with your dogs stay. Other than that all I would need to know is the basics. - What is their potty schedule? - What is their feeding schedule? - Has there ever been signs of resource guarding or food/leash aggression? - Do they get along with other dogs? -Are they being treated for fleas and ticks? -Are they fully vaccinated? - Are there any pre-existing medical conditions I need to be aware of? - how long can you comfortably leave them alone? (I only ask this question as life happens and sometimes errands need to be run, I want to make sure I am prioritizing your pups comfortability while staying with me) Most of all, I really want your dog to have the best experience in my care!
A typical day
DOG BOARDING: I live in Everett, about 2 miles away from downtown and the many parks nearby, which have beautiful morning and evening views. I love to walk the dog twice a day and I am sure your pet would enjoy accompanying me. I also lead a pretty active lifestyle outside of work, and with owner permission, I would love to have your furry friend join me! I love to hike and right outside my backdoor we can find tons of on-leash nature walks I am sure your dog and I will enjoy. I usually work from home but I do work in the office on Fridays, which means your dog would need to be comfortable being left alone that day during normal work hours. Outside of Fridays however, I’m am home supervising the rest of the week.

Availability
I work from home and am available to be with your dog all day long. I do go into the office once a week so if you are looking for longer term boarding you would have to be comfortable with them being alone for a short period of time on Fridays. I like to be active and would love to take your dog with me on walks or hikes, with owner approval of course! If your dog likes to hang out I also frequent lots of dog friendly bars, parks and restaurants around town and would love to take a social dog with me on my days off for some weekend fun!
