About Nichole B.
Safety, trust & environment
Animals know the people they can trust -- they might be entertained by pizzaz, but they sidle up against the calm, patient, consistent presence. That's me. I'm a mom of 5 nearly-grown children, so I understand order and systems, and will be a quick learner of yours.
Information Nichole B. would like to know about your pet
Do they have dietary concerns? Behaviors and any chronic or acute problems I should be looking out for? As an owner of cats and dogs, I know schedules and calming routines are important. I want to hear all about yours.
A typical day
Walks (if desired), car rides (if desired), grooming and of course affection and long conversations about the meaning of life. I believe in pet continuing education :) . Let me know about their favorite things! Plus any special requests or needs

Your neighborhood pet whisperer
Pet care experience
You know that person animals just gravitate towards because they feel calm and safe? That’s me. A lifelong dog and cat owner, I've also fostered kittens and puppies for 10 yrs through the Animal Rescue League in Boston. I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and ages. I have a Great Pyrenees mix and used to have a Bernese, and was a longtime foster of a pair of chihuahua mixes. I've bottle-fed kittens, and given senior pets their meds (and slow walks). I’m an active mom of 5 grown human kids, so patience is my middle name. Professionally, I’m a work-from-home journalist (higher ed, travel) and happy to work from yours if your animal wants more companionship than just a drop-in visit. See photos of kittens, puppies and bunnies serving as editorial muse beside my laptop.

Reviews
Nichole was a foster caregiver for the non-profit rescue where I currently work. Her and her family provided care to countless animals over the years, including those with complex medical needs. She is trustworthy and a very experienced animal caregiver.
Nichole fostered our cat three years ago, and guided us through the process of introducing the kitty to our dog and new surroundings. She is highly knowledgeable on animal behavior and care (she has both cats and dog of her own), is compassionate and kind. If she lived close to us I would definitely have her pet sit for us!
She has cared for my pets multiple times, and I always know they're in great hands with her. She's incredibly knowledgeable, reliable, and has tons of experience with both cats and dogs, including animals that need extra attention or specialized care. My pets love her, and I always feel completely comfortable leaving them with her!
Nicole is truly an animal whisperer. I have known her for twenty years and have trusted her with my dogs many times. Nichole is professional, she gives close attention to detail, and will treat your pets and your home with the greatest of care. I trust her with my very dearest family members!
