Calm, Low-Dog Home with Personalized Care Hi I'm Nicole! I’m an experienced dog foster mom with 38+ years of pet care experience, specializing in dogs who need a little extra patience, attention, or understanding. What makes our home different: -No dogs + no kids in the home Your dog gets undivided attention in a calm, low-stress environment—perfect for anxious, reactive, or older dogs. -Low capacity = high care I only take up to 3 dogs at a time, so your dog isn’t lost in a crowd. Every dog gets the attention, love, and support they deserve. -Solo stays available If your dog doesn’t do well with others, I can accommodate solo bookings for a more comfortable experience. -Safe, secure space We have a fully enclosed 8-ft cinder block yard with a doggy door so dogs can go in and out freely (or we can support structured potty training if needed). -Experienced with all temperaments I’ve worked with dogs who have experienced trauma, fear, or abuse, and I meet every dog with patience and care. -Flexible, always-home care I work from home and run my own businesses, so your dog is rarely left alone and gets consistent supervision and companionship. Daily updates You’ll receive photos/videos every day so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and loved. Extra peace of mind I hold a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card (Arizona), meaning I’ve passed a rigorous background check for safety and trust.

Ratings and reviews
Nicole and Rose looked after my dog, Peanut, for 7 days and I couldnt be happier with the results. My dog is a rescue and very anxious. Shes stayed in doggie hotels in the past and other sitters Ive found on Rover but shes always came back home slightly regressed (more anxious or forgot her training). But this time its like nothing has changed. Peanut warmed up to Nicole and Rose by 2 day which was very surprising. Moving forward, if I ever need someone to watch Peanut I know who to contact.
Sitter did what was needed for 2 of 3 pets. Had to come home for other dog. It made the process harder where sitting all three would have taken that stress away. Maybe the sitters need more training for loud dogs that was the issue my dog was loud and the sitter didn’t feel comfortable walking her, at the same time this is what the job is and if I was out of state I don’t know what I would have done.
Nicole was great. They where on time and communicated everyday .
Nicole did a great job of taking care of Riley. Riley is a an older dog that requires more care. She administered her prescriptions and helped her when she needed help with some mobility issues. She was excellent in communicating with me during our vacation.
Our very anxious beagle warmed up to Nicole very quickly. She stayed with her and kept us updated throughout our time away. This was our first time using Rover and so we were initially not sure what to expect. We did a few meet and greets prior to our leaving and we felt very comfortable with Nicole and her calm presence. She was patient and warm with our dog. We would recommend her to anyone with a dog that needs a lot of extra love and attention. Thank you for watching our dearest little Stella.
Phenomenal!
