Nicole is my go-to dog sitter. I have a very large dog with a very large personality. In fact, he is about the same size as Nicole... When Nicole dog sits for him, I know that when I get home he will behave as though I was never gone. He is the same relaxed, fun-loving dog I left, not a stressed out needy animal because he had a terrible time with his temporary person aka dog sitter. In addition to taking excellent care of my dog, she also takes excellent care of my home. After a weekend away, I can rest assured that my house will look the same or better than I left it. Its nice to know that you're not returning to a house treated like a hotel room without maid service. Nicole is a great person to watch your dog. I recommend her whole heartedly, knowing that this might make her less available to watch my dog... :)
