Information Nicole Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, if he/she is an escape artist, has anxiety, or needs medicine. There is not extra charge to keep these babies on routine and feeling comfortable. I also always have milk bone treats, kongs, and CBD treats on hand if they need them.

A typical day

We do a lot of playdates, treat training, games outside in the yard, we can do water play or walks, I have a food puzzles and all kinds of fun things including many bins of toys.

Pet care experience

Hello! I have had pets all my life, dogs, cats, birds, pocket pets, and I'm happy to help care for yours while on vacation or if they just need a walk half way through the work day. I watch any type of animal, not just dogs. Send me a message for rates of non-dogs. I am a very loving, outgoing person, and I love animals. Safety is my #1 concern, and then physical and mental health of your baby. That said, please be sure to tell me if you pet is a flight risk or escape artist, and I will take extra precautions. I am happy to work with you to find an arrangement so that you feel confident and comfortable and can afford to go on vacation. I am professional and understand how important routine is for animals. I have had all types of dogs before from toys, hounds, shepherds, to bully breeds. I understand the specific needs. Our house is large, and we can keep animals separated if needed, or I am happy to stop in and take care of your baby at your house. Possible add one include pick up and drop off ($10 one way), doctors or specialist visits ($20) nail trim ($10) and/or bath ($10).

P1 definitely had a great time, and we really appreciate the care you gave him. One small thing we noticed afterward was that all the food we prepared was gone, which ended up being a bit more than his usual amount. He had a couple more bowel movements than normal, so we think he may have been slightly overfed. Just wanted to mention this for future reference. Thank you again!

Nicole was amazing with my 2 dogs during the holidays. She let them have plenty of play time and was able to handle my high energy terrier. My dogs came back happy- they will gladly go back any time!

Our boys had a great stay with Nicole, who took our booking last minute due to unexpected travel! They had plenty of outdoor time and Nicole updated us with pics and videos while we were way, which we appreciated! We’ll definitely book with Nicole again! :)

There is no doubt that Nicole and her family really love animals and they know how to care of them. Nicole is extremely communicative, responded quickly to any question, and keep updating us with pictures and videos on how Lasso is doing. Lasso enjoyed staying there like in his home. Absolutely amazing and outstanding caregiver.
