GENUINE ANIMAL LOVER, QUALITY CARE

Pet care experience

I am a genuine animal lover of all types, breeds, and sizes. Animals seem to be very comfortable getting acquainted with me. I rescued and trained two gentle 6 week old Pitbulls that grew up to be very well-behaved house trained and great with people and kids. Unfortunately, after losing both my best puppy friends, I haven't gotten over my pups' passing and I found that spending time and loving your pup(s) like they are my own help me to cope with my loss and bring me happiness! I really enjoy spending time with animals, dogs and cats in particular, and give them the LOVE and ATTENTION that they DESERVE!! IF EVER YOU ARE UNAVAILABLE, work long days, go out of town for business, go on vacation, or are just too busy with your schedule and you need someone to look after your pet(s) and provide ATTENTIVE CARE to them, I can ensure your pet(s) are in very good hands and given the most valuable care possible!! I follow ALL client's strict directions, following each and every specific detail and all personal preferences exactly as directed regarding feeding & snack time/area, sleep time/area, bathroom area/walking route, how to put collar on correctly, when/where/how to give oral medication(s)/administer injection shot(s), and other essential information to properly manage each pet's individual needs with their safety as the main concern. I compassionately treat each and every animal as if they were my own. I love giving cuddles, taking long walks, and playing games with toys, ropes, kongs, and balls. If you are seeking a RELIABLE, RESPONSIBLE, FLEXIBLE animal sitter/walker/care taker, I believe I am the right person for the job! I will make certain I devote all of my time, effort and attention to your pet(s), provide exceptional quality care, I will protect their safety, and care for them as if they were my own; that is the essential and most important objective of my job is your and your pet(s) specific needs and demands! I DO NOT HAVE KIDS OR ANY ANIMALS AT MY HOUSE AND I'M FLEXIBLE. SO ALL MY ATTENTION, LOVE, AND CARE GO TO SUPERVISING MY CLIENT'S PET AT ALL TIMES!! I am really looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s) so I can provide exceptional care for them when you are not available to, I WILL WITH PLEASURE!!

Nichole has been a blessing watching our dog Gunner. When we went away for my son’s wedding she not only provided us with peace of mind but provided top notch care for our precious family dog. She also provided photos each day of Gunner happily enjoying both indoor and outdoor activities, letting us know that he is safe and in great hands. I would, without hesitation refer Nichole to any family, friend or person in need of having their pet taken care of for any length of time. Nichole is a gem and has gained my trust for future trips that I might plan. I recommend her highly!! Rick M.

Nichole did a great job taking care of our precious doggie girl. She sent us updates, made sure she had many walks (even more than we asked for), and kept her happy and comfortable.

Nichole was the best sitter. She was Convenient and reliable. Quick to respond ! I had an emergency where I needed my pup to be watched that evening and she was able to accommodate me. Nichole has plenty of space in and outside of her house where she cares for your pet. She sent me updates everyday he was there with how he was doing and pictures. Upon picking my pup up he was in a great mood happy, hydrated and well fed. I would highly recommend her services !

Nichole was extremely accommodating ! I had to book a sitter in such short notice and she was able to commit to watching my pup in less than a half hour. She listened well and was easy to communicate with. She updated me with pictures and commentary everyday she was watching him. Nichole’s place is very clean and she has plenty of space to care for the dogs inside and out. When I picked my dog up he seemed well fed, hydrated and happy ! So thankful for her services ! Highly recommended.

A typical day

Walks will be given periodically, from 1-3 hours each time. For high energy dogs, we will take 20-30 minute speed walk/jogs to exert their energy. I also will play with toys, like the rope, balls, Kongs, and squeaky toys with them to exert their energy and have fun at the same time. If dogs are OK with the car ride, I will bring them for my daily walking adventures and jog through the BEAUTIFUL trails of Cattus Island. I enjoy photographing the fun moments with all the pets I spend time with and send several of the pictures to you so you can see how much fun we're having throughout our day!
