Nicole is a fantastic pup and house sitter!!! We really appreciated Nicole taking the time beforehand to get acquainted with our 10-year old labradoodle, Mitzi. We don’t normally leave Mitzi, and finding the right sitter was really important for us to feel comfortable going away for five days. Nicole was a perfect fit right off the bat. Mitzi let Nicole know she didn’t want her to leave, even for a short period of time—something we thought was just us! Nicole was very perceptive in acknowledging the emotional issues for Mitzi and us, but after a couple of short visits, we really felt safe leaving Mitzi knowing Nicole would take care of her and take her hiking everyday as usual. We had fun texting with Nicole while we were gone, including receiving pictures of Mitzi, and when we arrived home Mitzi was happy to see us as if we had only been gone a few hours, and clearly had a terrific time with Nicole. When Nicole came by to return the house key, Mitzi was very excited to see her again. Nicole did a great job taking care of our house as well, making sure our mason bees had mud, getting the paper and mail, setting out the garbage cans and she left the house clean. She even made banana bread for us! Clearly we have a kindred spirit with Nicole, and loved helping an OSU college student earn extra money by taking care of our Mitzi.

Nicole took care of my dog Peet whenever I traveled out of town. She also walked him during the day on workdays when I could not get home. Let me say first that Peet was the LOVE of my life. I trusted Nicole with Peet and she never let me down. She was always on time and very responsible. Nicole loved Peet as if he were here own. Unlike other dog sitters that say they will stay the night with your dog and often don't, I know that Nicole not only stayed at my house with Peet, but also slept beside him, made sure he was fed, pottied, watered and deeply loved. I cannot recommend Nicole highly enough. She is a smart, strong animal lover that would take awesome care of any animal that she could.
