My schedule varies with school during the week, but I’m available outside of those days, along with mornings, evenings, and most weekends. I also have occasional required skills hours, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs 🐾

About Nichole S.

Skills
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 incredible taking care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond - offering to restock food and groceries, doing laundry, etc. in our home while we were away. In regard to the pups, I got numerous videos and photos every day of them playing, snuggling, and enjoying their time. She made sure they were active, comfortable, safe and loved. We will 100% be using Nichole again. I would recommend her for anyone looking for a house/dog sitter.
Nichole S. is someone I’d trust with any pet, no question. She’s super reliable, pays attention to the little things, and genuinely cares about animals. I’ve seen how patient and attentive she is—she makes pets feel comfortable right away and treats them like her own. She’s also great with communication and always follows through, which makes a big difference. If you’re looking for someone who’s responsible and actually cares, Nichole is an easy choice.
