Pet care experience
Your Pup’s New Bestie in Philly!
I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and my best friend has definitely fueled that passion! After 10 years of hanging out with her adorable crew—think dogs, cats, horses, birds, and more—I’ve had a blast helping her care for all of them. It's been like living in a pet paradise! Right now, I'm diving into some online courses about dog psychology and training. I want to make sure I’m equipped to handle all kinds of pups with confidence! I’ve got about a year of experience in dog walking and pet sitting, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride! I especially adore big dogs—pit bulls have stolen my heart. I’ve had the pleasure of walking and house-sitting a sweet pittie, giving her all the love while her family was away. But I also have fun with smaller breeds like Maltese; I adapt my style to match each pet’s unique vibe. Oh, and did I mention I’m into animal photography? I love snapping cute pics of the pets I work with—it’s a fantastic way to show off their personalities and the joy they bring. I always make safety my top priority on walks. I’m quick on my feet to avoid any potential doggy drama and keep things calm yet fun. You can count on me to be reliable and communicative.ALSO! Some basic additional tasks I am open to assisting with include locking/alarming your home, bringing in packages, taking out trash, watering plants, etc. Don’t be afraid to let me know. I’m excited to meet your fur babies and have a blast together! 🐾✨

Ratings and reviews
Nichole is incredibly patient with my reactive, senior dog. She’s flexible with her care when needed and communicative which eases my anxiety as a pet parent. Would recommend her services!
Nichole is very aware of when my pup is acting a little different and communicates thoroughly to make sure I’m on the look out.
Nichole is always a great walker.
Nichole came to walk my dog for about a week and a half when my work schedule changed. We did a meet and greet which went well but my dog is weary of strangers so when Nichole came into my place alone my dog was quite nervous. Nichole took as much time as my dog needed to feel comfortable in the situation. She listened to what my dog was communicating and spent so much time building trust. She was incredibly reasonable and understanding. Nichole has great communication and sends great updates. Nichole met every challenge that my dog gave her with grace and a great knowledge of training and dog behavior. She was even flexible with time when my dog needed extra time to feel comfortable. Within 2 visits my dog was in her lap and I would definitely trust Nichole and use her as a dog walker/sitter in the future.
Nichole is very communicative of my dogs behaviors and makes sure if she’s acting weird I am in the loop.
Nichole did an AMAZING job taking care of my pup! I was out of town for an extended amount of time, and it was such a relief to know he was in good hands. Loved all the pictures, videos, and how attentive she was to helping calm his separation anxiety. So grateful and highly recommend!!!
