Nicky can care for
Availability
My flexible schedule means I get to spend lots of quality time with your furry family members. I’m available for frequent potty breaks (about every 1–2 hours or as needed) and I do my best to follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I also love staying active and being outdoors, so your pups can enjoy plenty of walks, playtime, and exploring beautiful East Bay neighborhoods and parks — followed, of course, by snuggles and rest.

About Nicky T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I treat your space and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow your usual routines as closely as possible — feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any house rules — so your pet feels secure and things stay predictable. I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and leashes for safety, always use secure harnesses/collars on walks, and never introduce new dogs or environments without your permission. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
Information Nicky T. would like to know about your pet
If there’s anything extra that helps your pet feel especially safe and happy, I’d love to know. Do they have favorite routines, comfort items, or quirks I should be aware of? It’s also helpful to hear about any medical needs, treat rules, exercise limits and how they do with other dogs/people. The more I know, the more I can go above and beyond with care tailored just for them.
A typical day
Each day is all about keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and having fun. That might look like neighborhood walks, fetch at the park, or a good game of tug-of-war in the house or yard. If it’s part of their usual routine, we can also visit nearby trails or dog parks to stretch our legs, sniff around, and say hi to other pups — followed by plenty of cuddles and chill time.

Snuggles and smiles guaranteed
Pet care experience
Snuggles and smiles have pretty much been the theme of my life. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals, and now I’m a pet sitter and dog walker based in the Bay, making sure your furry family members feel safe, loved, and genuinely happy while you’re away. Over the years I’ve cared for animals in all kinds of settings — from my time at the East Bay SPCA in Dublin, to customer care at Wag Hotels in Oakland, to dog walking with Dog Walks SF and Doggy Lama Pet Care. Today, I bring all of that experience into my East Bay pet sitting and dog walking, giving each animal the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own.
Reviews
Nicky provided excellent care for our 2 cats. Would highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their pets. Ted
Nicky was great! Our pups were exhausted after spending the day with her from so much attention and love. She kept me updated and sent great photos. We can’t wait to have her back!
Our pups love snuggling with Nicky! She keeps us updated and they adore seeing her. She follows detailed instructions and keeps everyone in line 😉
Nicky is so reliable - thanks, Nicky!!
