Safety, trust & environment
During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care based on their personality—whether that’s going for a walk, playing, or just keeping them company. I always prioritize safety by ensuring secure leashing, clean water, and a safe environment before leaving. I also provide regular updates with pictures so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away 🥰
Information Nichole S. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, energy level, and personality ahead of time. I also like to know about any medical needs, allergies, medications, or special instructions. Please let me know if your pet has any triggers (like other dogs, loud noises, or being left alone), as well as their favorite activities, feeding schedule, and bathroom routine. The more I know, the better I can keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy 🐾
A typical day
I like to keep pets happy and active with walks, playtime, and lots of attention. For energetic dogs, I enjoy games like fetch or going on longer walks. For calmer pets, I focus on gentle play, enrichment, and cuddles.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’ve loved animals my whole life—I was always the one begging my parents to take in every stray I found 🐾 I’m currently a nursing student, so I’m very detail-oriented, responsible, and focused on safety. I also have a prior military background, which has taught me discipline, reliability, and consistency in everything I do. I’m very active and love running, so I’m great for high-energy dogs who need walks and exercise, while also being calm and patient with cats and more relaxed pets. I’m comfortable following routines, giving lots of attention, and keeping you updated with pictures so you always know your pet is happy and safe.
Reviews
Nichole was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our energetic pup (and our house!) for us for 10 days. She shared lots of photos and updates and was attentive and observant enough to notice when something was off with our girl. Nichole was responsible, trustworthy, and reliable, and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an attentive and loving care provider. We loved, loved, loved having her - we’ve already booked her again for our next trip! Thanks, Nichole!
Nichole took great care of my cat! She followed her feeding and cleaning routine well and was very communicative with updates. She was also reliable and responsible, and I never had to worry about my cat while under her care. Most importantly, she earned my shy cat's trust quickly 😺. I highly recommend Nichole for all pet care needs!
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Nichole took amazing care of our 4-year-old cat, Tookie, during our week-and-a-half trip and truly went above and beyond in every way. Tookie is a long-haired cat, and she took the time to brush her regularly and keep her coat looking beautiful. She even cleaned her ears, which was such a kind thing to offer. Beyond caring for Tookie, she also watered our plants and looked after our home with great care. When our travel plans changed and we needed to come home early, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole process completely stress-free. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she’s entrusted with. We felt so comfortable knowing Tookie was in such capable hands. We 100% recommend Nichole to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter, and we absolutely hope to book with her again in the future!
Nichole is very friendly and was very patient with Ivy. She made my time away comfortable.
