Pet care experience

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.

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.

Max loves going to Nicole and Rose’s. They are so good with keeping me updated and taking great care of my little guy. I feel comfortable leaving him with them and know he is safe and having fun.

Nicole watched Pepperjac as a puppy for some time and then we needed a sitter again a specific week months later. Pepperjac recognized the neighborhood and got so excited to be back with Nicole. We know she is taken care of, happy and safe during her stay. Great communication and updates as well. We appreciate you Nicole.
