I currently have an adventurous kitty who likes to go outside but doesn’t love other dogs and can be skittish. I take great pride in knowing that not only can I trust her but she trusts me to keep her safe while getting to explore. I plan on making sure each of your pets trusts me and they feel completely safe no matter where they are. My main priority is making sure you’re pets get the same kind of love they would from their main human☺️

Information Nicalina D. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

A Typical Drop-In Visit During each drop-in visit, I make sure your pet feels cared for, safe, and happy while you’re away. Every visit is customized to your pet’s needs, but usually includes: • Greeting & Comfort – I always start with a warm hello, giving your pet attention, affection, and reassurance so they feel comfortable right away. • Feeding & Fresh Water – Meals and water bowls are refreshed, following your instructions closely to keep their routine consistent. • Potty Breaks & Clean-Up – Dogs are let outside or taken for a quick bathroom break, while litter boxes are scooped and tidied for cats. • Exercise & Playtime – Whether that’s fetch in the yard, a tug-of-war game, or interactive play with toys, I make sure your pet gets movement and mental stimulation. • Cuddles & Companionship – Pets thrive on love and attention, so I spend quality time giving them affection, belly rubs, or calm company depending on their personality. • Wellness Check – I keep an eye out for anything unusual with your pet’s behavior, eating habits, or environment, and will update you right away if I notice something. • Updates & Photos – At the end of each visit, you’ll receive a detailed update along with photos, so you always know how your furry friend is doing.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Nicalina — a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between. I grew up surrounded by pets, and over the years I’ve cared for animals of all sizes, temperaments, and needs — from playful puppies to senior cats who love a cozy cuddle. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and gentle. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medication, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet parents I’ve worked with appreciate my consistent communication, photo updates, and the extra care I put into keeping their pets’ routines on track. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog or cat is in caring, capable hands. 🐶 Dog Sitting – Walks, playtime, feeding, companionship 🐱 Cat Sitting – Litter changes, cuddles, interactive play 💌 Updates – Photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing Because to me, pets aren’t “just animals” — they’re family. And I’ll treat yours like my own.

Nicalina was amazing! She responded very quickly and was able to accommodate a last minute request for my 10 week old golden doodle, she sent photos , videos, updates, and our fur baby was very happy when we got home. 10/10 recommend

Nicalina is truly the best dog walker we could ask for! She’s incredibly communicative, reliable, and always keeps us updated, which gives us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our dog absolutely loves her, you can tell how excited he gets whenever she arrives. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and that makes all the difference. We feel so lucky to have found her!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Nicalina. She has been absolutely incredible with Winston. From the very beginning, she has been kind, patient, and so attentive to his needs. Winston absolutely adores her and his excitement when he sees her says everything! Not only is she extremely flexible and accommodating with scheduling, but she consistently goes above and beyond. Whether it’s taking extra time to make sure Winston is comfortable, sending updates for peace of mind, or simply giving him that extra love and attention, she treats him like her own. She has also done so much for me, also! It gives me so much comfort knowing he’s in such caring and capable hands. We are so grateful to have found her, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their dog. 🐶💛

Responsible, reliable, and compassionate are three qualities that come to mind when I think of Nicalina. These qualities truly shine through when she cares for animals. She has shown this with her own dog up until she passed away and now with her cat. Including the other various animals she has helped take care of throughout the years. Whether it is making sure feeding and exercise routines are followed or giving plenty of attention, Nicalina always makes sure animals feel happy and loved.
