“She was great! She was on time, sent us lots of pictures, kept us informed on everything, and went above and beyond. Our dog was content and happy when we got home and we are very appreciative.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have watched dogs for my friends and family before. I work a a vet clinic and have experience with many breeds I do work normally 4 days a week. But I am available after work during the week most of the time. And am pretty flexible on weekends. I am not able to have pets in my home. But would be able to walk your pet or let them out for the bathroom while you are gone. Or watch them in their home.
About: I’m a animal love person every animal I have had has been a rescue animal and adoption. I love to take dogs for walk, throw toys for them. I treat the animals like there my own. After a fun day outside with them, they can relax by getting a bath. I donate to animal shelters and sell homemade dog treats.. I have 30 years dealing with parrots. I had 10 parrots of my own. I’m home everyday I give a hundred percent to the pets. I have a vehicle that can take them to talk parks. When I take dogs outside I go with them to give them company. I have a fenced yard, toys, I have televisions throughout the house I play animal plant all day for them, when it’s hot out I don’t keep them out long, I bring them in to give them water and treats.
About: I’ve grown up with all different breeds and ages of dogs. I understand that all dogs have different personalities and their own traits that make them unique. I love getting to know their different personalities!! I currently work full time as a nurse but I have many days off during the week and weekends. My schedule varies slightly from week to week. But when I’m off, I’m usually spending time at home! I have my own fur baby who gets along great with other dogs and loves to have company! I allow him free rein of the house if I have to leave for any reason. But I do have a kennel and am able to gate off areas of my house if needed! My family has a farm place about a mile away with a large fenced in area that my dog loves to run in. I also love going for walks and cuddling on the couch and watching movies with my pup.
“This was our first time using Nicole! She came for a Meet & Greet, went above and beyond for our Critters! This is the first time using a Critter Sitter that we arrived home, and our dogs were CALM! They ran over to us like we had been at the store, not gone for days! I would recommend her 100%”

“My dogs are particular hesitant with strangers and as soon as they met Bailey they seemed entranced by her; she was impeccable. My girls seemed to just trust her immediately which is incredible relief for myself. She has a wonderful aura that drew my girls attention to listen and depend on her. Thank you again for coming into our home and helping us learn to trust again.”
