I’m pretty available due to being on Social Security ( due to a major car accident in 2009), so I do this to not only supplement my income but because I love animals & it also helps me in multiple ways ( mentally, physically, etc.)

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your home like my home in the sense that I become protective of the space ( & pets of course), I don’t like random people showing up/trying to enter the home without my hearing Directly from the homeowner. After I’m familiar w/ the way things typically are ( ex. what vehicle(s) are routinely there/not there then a “random” vehicle is suddenly there, I will be suspicious & notify the pet parent/home owner right away to make sure it’s ok to be there).

Information Nichole S. would like to know about your pet

Whatever information you would deem necessary for me to know prior to my visit/meet & greet is always welcomed & certainly appreciated. Thank you for sharing:)

A typical day

Weather permitting we’d enjoy a nice walk, on the not so nice days we would /could play inside and/or just hang out and relax. Lol

Pets

I love animals!

Pet care experience

I have walked dogs of all different sizes, ages & breeds. I have also administered medications ( oral & topical ), changed bandages. I've loved animals my entire life & my client's pups/pets become "my" pets..in other words, I love them like they were my own. * I prefer to do "Meet & Greets" with potential clients and their pets prior to taking the "job", so not only do I and the pets get to meet, but the pet parent(s) & I can also meet & discuss any schedules, routines, etc. as well as go over any questions. I want to not only be comfortable with them, but I want the pet parent(s) & of course, the pets, to be comfortable with me as well. P.S. I’ve worked in many horse barns in my 20’s, so don’t hesitate to reach out for help ( even if it’s a one time thing :)

Our time away as so much better than I imagined! Our animals LOVED Nichole and all the time she spent with them. We have some unique personalities over here that require patience and gentleness. All of our animals are rescues from terrible situations, and because of that, we have never left them in the care of someone else. But, our son got married and we had to be a part of his day. Thank you for allowing us that, Nichole. We are so happy to have found you and look forward to enjoying life a little bit more ♥️

Nichole did a great job taking care our pets (a dog and a cat) and looking after our home while we were away. We would absolutely hire her again when we need help.

Nichole was a great dog sitter—kept it short, but our pups were clearly happy and well cared for. If you need a responsible adult to look after your fur babies, she’s the one! Thanks Nichole!
