Safety, trust & environment

I welcome small to medium dogs (up to 35 pounds) into my home. I have a friendly Jack Russell Terrier who loves to play and socialize, but she is also respectful and able to give space to more anxious or reserved dogs when needed. Because I have children, I require that dogs staying with us are comfortable around kids. My home is active, loving, and structured — a great fit for well-socialized dogs who enjoy interaction and engagement.

Pet care experience

Dogs and cats have always been a part of my life growing up on a small farm. I have experience fostering both cats and dogs as well as raising my own. My goal is to make every pet feel at home in my home by adhereing as close as possible to their home schedule and showering them with love and attention while their owners are away.

Nikole was amazing!! She sent consistent, amazing updates when she kept my puppy, Alfredo, for a weekend, and her terrier was a perfect playmate for my pup!! I was a bit last minute, and she handled it like a pro. Will definitely be booking her again if I ever need a sitter!

Nikole was wonderful! She gave us many updates and we had no concerns leaving our precious Winston with her and her family! We will definitely be using her again in the future!

I’m so happy with how well Nikole took care of my dog! She sent updates and pictures, and I could tell my pup was having a great time. Highly recommend!
