I think Nicole is an excellent caregiver. She has been around dogs and cats all her life since we have always had pets around the house. Our pets are considered members of our family and get lots of love and attention. My dog Rocco has been on a homemade diet since we brought him home 7 years ago. We always have cats around, as many as 4 at one time, all of them either adopted or strays that we rescued. Growing up in a house full of pets, she knows the responsibility that comes with having pets. She has experience with taking care of other people's pets as well. She had a friend who rescued stray cats and dogs and would spend a lot of time with them. When they went on vacation they trusted her to be their caretaker . In addition, she worked for an animal rescue and has fostered dogs. She loves all animals and is very sensitive to their needs.
