'On Nicol's Watch' - I got this!

My house/pet sitting, dog walking and 'assisting' experience has been a big part of my life. I have always worked in assisting busy, successful people with their everyday tasks, 'to-do' lists inclusive of house/pet sitting/pet care with the mind set to go above and beyond their expectations. My work ethic has consistently earned me my employers trust, faith and assurance that... 'I got this!'. Earning people's confidence has been the key for my employers to have the time and focus on their other important priorities, I'm here to do the same for you. Whether your dog needs care for an extended period of time, a couple of days, or half an hour, I'm here to give it my all. Dogs and their owners love that I'm calm and confident. My "take charge" philosophy ensures that you can feel comfortable while on vacation and your dog will be comfortable in my care. I make sure to get to know both my human and canine clients before a stay so I am best equipped to handle the stay based on their personality and needs. Safety is very important to me, and I keep a sharp eye out for hazards. I'm very passionate about dogs and providing them with stellar care. I'd love to set up a meet and greet to get to know you and your furry family member!

Another great stay with Nicol! She is our reliable, trusted and loving go-to Rover sitter for Whiskey. Now that he's a 'senior' dog, he has some new quirks and needs extra love. In addition to caring for him, she helps care for the house and brings in the mail/packages, takes out garbage, etc. The house is always spotless when she leaves!

Nicol was wonderful. Comet took to her right away even though he is usually skittish around new people. She sent pictures and gave updates throughout her stay with comet and was very flexible and accommodating to changing schedules. I will feel comfortable with doing more traveling now that i know i can leave comet in such good hands. Thanks Nicol !!

In addition to taking excellent care of Whiskey, Nicol takes amazing care of our home! Whenever we return home from a trip the sheets and towels she used are clean and folded, kitchen is spotless and everything is in order. We love her!

If you are reading this review of Nicol it is because you love your dog as much as I love mine. It is hard to imagine finding anyone who will care as deeply about your pet as you do. Well, look no further, you have found the fairy godmother of dogs. Nicol has a way about her that makes your dog fall instantly in love with her. Nicol's top priority is honoring the routine already established for your dog so that home feels like home for your beloved pet. Nicol's attention to detail in the care of our sweet Griffin and in the care of our home was well beyond my highest expectations. Griffin is only 7 months old and I am a new dog mom, so leaving Griffin felt scary. I knew instantly when I met Nicol that I could trust her without concern to care for Griffin. Nicol is special, not just as a dog sitter, but as a person. Her kind and beautiful spirit radiates. Trust me, your home will be filled with love and a very happy dog when you return.
