Animal SittingExtraordinaire

I grew up on a farm taking care of horses, goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. I am well versed in animal care, I have three dogs of my own. I know that mental stimulation as well as physical is an important part of animal care. Making them feel at home when you are traveling is a top priority for me.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large (11 acre) backyard that is open field and grass. There is also a large lake with a sand bottom that dogs can enjoy swimming in. All dogs will be kept on a long line or a gps collar so they can get to run but are not out of my sight. There are foxes and a lot of animals pass through our yard. My dogs love to sniff all their scents.

Nicole was very responsive and able to come meet me and our dog on a very short notice. She was great with our dog right away and we felt comfortable having her come over to spend time with our dog. She was amazing and very communicative throughout the weekend. I would highly recommend her and we look forward to having her watch our dog again!

Nicole was an absolute angel. I had a family emergency out of state and she welcomed my big boy on such short notice and kept him for an extra day. She even offered to pick me up from the airport. I’m so appreciative for her. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her services again!

Great and accomodating hosts. They were flexible with the time and had a great space for the dogs to be during the day. Also they have 3 great and friendly pups! Definitely recommended

I work full time m-f but work from home a good portion of the week. I am a 15 min drive from home so I frequently go home during lunch.

Well equipped for high energy dogs and okay with some behavioral issues but I do expect honesty about your animals behavior. I do crate dogs at night and anytime we are not home.
