“Absolutely thrilled with Nicole's care for my Weimaraner, Finley! As a "Velcro dog" who's usually attached to me at all times, Finley can be a bit needy, but Nicole handled him beautifully. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which put me completely at ease even while I was out of the country. Finley was clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for in every update. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’m incredibly grateful for her phenomenal work. Highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring, responsible sitter!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since a young age while being involved in 4-H. I grew up with dogs, cats, bunnies, pigs, goats and much more. I work in Elk Grove about 30-40 hours a week and get my week schedule one week ahead of time. I can arrange to take care of the animals before and after work. I feed, let out into our fenced yard and make time each day to play with them. At clients home I respect the persons home and leave it how it was left for me, to clean up after the animals if potty accidents happen.

19. Chrislyn L.
About: I have taken care of pets (varieties of dogs, cats, and fish) for about 8 years. I am cautious of diets, schedules, exercise, & pet safety. I am currently a full-time student. I am available to stay at a pet’s home overnight during weekdays and then return after school around 4pm. I am available weekends. I do not care for pets at my home. At the client’s home, I will follow whatever guidelines and expectations they have set for their pet.


20. Aicha F.

“Our pup is in his super senior years, and we’ve been looking for an option other than boarding when we go out of town. Lately, he has been very uncomfortable and exhausted when we pick him up, even when we’ve spent extra cash to book him a “tranquility suite”. We just got home after having Aicha stay and our pup is super happy, relaxed, and not in any pain. Keeping him in his own house is exactly what he needed. We will absolutely book with Aicha again when we take our next trip. She sent several pictures, responded quickly to our messages, and even won over our grumpy cat! Thanks, Aicha!”
