“Nichole and Vernon are awesome. This was the first time our puppies boarded away from home and we were quite nervous, but Nichole was such a dog whisperer and kept us updated daily on their activities and moods so that we could enjoy our vacation and not worry. Our puppies were so well cared for - they came home happy and tired from all the play with the other dogs. Nichole is a natural dog lover and a lovely person. We will definitely call on her and Vernon again next time we go away. Thank you, Nichole!”
“Ms. April and family are awesome! She took very good care of my fur baby and communicated with me how she was doing the entire stay. Thank you again, and I look forward to working with her again!”

Very professional, good communicator and I trust him. I highly recommend him for walks, visits, boarding or any need you may have for your pets.”
About: I've grown up with dogs & cats the past 29 years. Animals tend to take to me very well and it's about their body language. I have open availability besides Sunday mornings. I can work with you on time of day whether morning, afternoon or evenings. Whatever works best for both of us. I do meal times, fresh water always, potty time, play time, exercise time, loving time, bonding time especially for first time pups, also helps me to get to know their quirks. I may bring them on hikes & other activities can be discussed. With my own fur baby, she loves to play and frolic in the snow. I feed her a rice, chicken, greens, frozen fruit and salmon oil diet since I’ve heard kibble can be equal to fast food. She loves walks & trail hikes.
About: **If there is a day I have marked myself as unavailable, please message me as I may be able to care for your pet before/after work depending on the situation** I have an extensive history caring for dogs. Beginning around age 6, I helped my grandmother raise puppies. Additionally, we had family pet dogs that I cared for and now as an adult, I have two dogs of my own. I have one couch potato and one that has multiple zoomie sessions a day, so I understand the importance of catering to the individual needs of each pet. I am a registered nurse who loves animals. I love what I do and I am thankful to be able to change my schedule to be able to fit your sitting needs. I take pride to watch over your house with diligent care and meet the specific needs of your pet to give you peace of mind while traveling.
About: I’ve taken care of my own personal reptiles, Bruce(leopard gecko) and Wayne(Bearded Dragon), for the past few years. I also had my pit bull pepper, and two terriers named Kirby and Steve. I love all animal, fur or scales, and you can trust that I will love your fur baby as much as you when you aren’t there. My schedule can more around a little, so I’m always free before 3 pm or any time after 3 pm. I am very flexible and can help to accommodate with what you need for your pets! I have a half acre backyard, with clean, low cut grass, and minimal risks. I have a large home with plenty of toys, a great neighborhood for walks/runs, and the ability to keep up with the more energetic type while still being able to calm down and relax with the chilled type of pup.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, and nothing makes me happier than seeing a wagging tail and a happy pup! 🐕 From tiny puppies to senior dogs with special needs, I’ve had the joy of looking after dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s going on long walks, giving belly rubs, or sticking to a special care routine, I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. ❤️ I’m currently attending Union University for nurse anesthesia. Being a graduate student gives me the perfect balance of structure and flexibility, which means I can easily make time for your furry friend. My schedule allows for breaks throughout the day, so I can stop by for walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets — it’s the highlight of my day — and I love incorporating their care into my routine as a fun and rewarding part of my week. Your dog’s safety and happiness come first. I will always follow your care instructions closely. I believe trust is built through consistency, communication, and genuine love for animals — so you can feel confident your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
