Safety, trust & environment

While I have a cat and cannot board pets anymore, I will always remain respectful in other’s homes and make sure to give your pet all the loving they deserve :) I am more than happy to provide any cuddles, play time, or company your pet needs.

Information Nicola P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their commands, their favorite treats and toys, their triggers/aggressions, their history (any trauma I should know about so they feel extra safe) and their favorite places to be scratched.

A typical day

Based on the needs of your pet, I will accommodate accordingly. I love any types of enrichment activities and playing with their favorite toys, as well as giving them as many pets as they request!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Nicola and I have always loved caring for any animal! Over the years, I have done my fair share of animal care. I have been sitting animals for quite a while from chihuahuas to bull mastiffs! I love all animals and am extremely good with them! I also have taken some classes at school on training and positive reinforcement with animals. I worked at a veterinary clinic for 6 years during high school, where I worked as a Veterinary Technician’s Assistant. I did everything like giving vaccines, holding dogs during treatment, nail clipping, walking, and filling medications. I would love to care for your pup or cat in any way I can, and make you feel at ease whenever you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your loved one, so I prioritize communication and updates with my clients!

Nicola watched our 9 year old male border collie/lab mix this past weekend and it was great. From the moment we dropped him off we knew Mac was in good hands, he immediately took to Nicola and was more than happy to stay with her. Nicola’s communication was great and we received regular photo & video updates over the course of the weekend. We were really able to enjoy our weekend in Boston knowing our boy was happy & safe with Nicola.

Nicola was an absolute delight to work with and Nora had a great time staying with her. We recieved regular updates from her with pictures that put us at ease. She was even able to accommodate Nora for an extra day and went out of her way to prepare some puppy food as what we had provided ran out. We definitely recommend Nicola and will be working with her for Nora’s future stays.
