Your pet bestie while you are away!

Pet care experience

I am a highly reliable and experienced pet sitter with over 20 years of experience! Dogs are my absolute favorite. When I am with your pup I promise to treat them as if they are my own with lots of attention, care, and exercise! If your pet is of old age I am happy to break up medication and vitamins into their food or simply keep them company. I send picture updates. I hope to meet you and your pet very soon!

We rescued a cat with feline HIV who has to be kept indoors at all times. Initially, this requirement created a lot of stress, and we were afraid to leave our cat with anyone. Nicol was recommended to us prior to taking our first trip. Nicol was great about sending photo updates while we were away which brought us a lot of comfort. Nicol ensures our cat's dietary restrictions are accurately followed and she takes great care to prevent our cat from running outdoors. Our cat is typically very shy around strangers and often hides when we have guests. We were pleasantly surprised to see he warmed up to Nicol rather fast! We would rate Nicol's services a 10/10, especially if your cat has any special needs.

Nicol cared for our family cat Fez over a period of 10 years, whenever we went out of town. We trusted Nicol to make sure that Fez was fed on time and expected her to spend time with him each day. Fez absolutely adored her! Nicol loves cats and dogs and they love her. I highly recommend Nicol to all our family and friends; she is completely trustworthy and very responsible.

Nicol is an amazing animal lover. She has taken the best care of my Shih Tzu/Terrier Mix many times. She is professional, dependable, personable, and my dog loves her and he gets very excited each time Nicol watches him. I highly recommend Nicol to watch your beloved animals!! :)

My boyfriend has a dog that lives at my house most of the time. We take him for 2-3 daily walks and cuddle him the rest of the time we are home. He takes monthly flee medication that we hide in a pill pocket and place in his food. We bath him often and brush him out after.
