Personalized care for your dog or cat - Columbia

About: Loving, Structured, & Safe Care — Dogs Are Never Left Alone Hi! We’re Felicia & Larry, and caring for dogs is part of our everyday life—not just a service. With a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we bring a calm, structured, and positive approach to every dog we care for. That means we understand behavior, read body language, and help dogs feel safe, confident, and comfortable—whether they’re energetic puppies or older dogs who need a slower pace. What your dog’s stay looks like: Supervised care all day (we both work from home) Regular walks, playtime, and attention A calm, structured environment tailored to your dog Very little time left alone (only short errands) We treat every dog like part of our family. We follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walks, crate use, and any special instructions—so they feel right at home. Safety is our top priority: We introduce dogs slowly, supervise all interactions, and pay close attention to comfort levels at all times. 📸 You’ll also get regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing. Whether your dog needs structure, patience, or just lots of love - we’ve got you covered. I work from home and my fiancé is home as well, so dogs are rarely left alone. Pet care is built into our daily routine, with regular walks, playtime, and supervision. Any time away is limited to short school pick-ups or errands, and we make sure dogs are safe and settled before leaving. Safety is always our priority. We introduce dogs slowly, supervise all interactions, and pay close attention to behavior and comfort levels. We follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding, walks, crate use, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure. Whether in our home or yours, we provide dependable care and regular updates.

“Nicole watched our 2 month old puppy for 10 days. We were in a pinch due to a trip, and she did a fantastic job with our puppy. Her own dog played so well with our pup, and even helped socialize our pup. She provided daily updates which helped us know that everything was going well, and that our puppy was happy. I would recommend Nicole to anyone, for any type of service.”

“Emily was so sweet and wonderful to our fur baby while we were away. She was responsive, timely, and professional at every interaction. I felt at peace leaving Milo to be cared for by Emily and would 100% recommend her to anyone! :)”

About: I have taken care of many of my friends and families dogs ranging from puppies to older dogs. I have handled dogs of all kinds: bulldogs, aussies, zuchons, and many more. I can give medication, give baths, train puppy’s, etc. I work a full time job 8-5 on the weekdays. I am available most nights and come home on my lunch break. I am home most weekends. We do live in Groton but are willing to help out with drop offs and pickups. I have an extremely friendly mini Aussiedoodle that loves company. We have a large yard but is not fenced in. I love to go on walks or take the dogs outside to play.
