Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Lover Sitter Walker!
I absolutely adore animals and treat every pet I care for like they are my own. I have been around and caring for dogs and cats since I was very young, and I have two dogs of my own. Over the years, pet sitting has grown into a huge part of my life, and I now have a recurring client base for around 20+ different families in the area. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, personalities, and needs, including puppies, senior pets, shy animals, and pets that require a little extra attention. I am also comfortable following detailed care routines and have experience giving oral medications, administering insulin injections, and caring for pets with medical or mobility needs. I understand how important it is to follow a pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, especially when their owners are away. I am extremely reliable, attentive, and loving, and I always want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pets are being taken care of. Animals are my biggest passion, and one of my dreams is to eventually open my own animal shelter/rescue. If you are looking for someone to help care for your pets you are at the right place!

Safety, trust & environment
During every visit, you will receive pictures and an update so you know exactly how your pet is doing. I pay close attention to their behavior, eating, bathroom habits, energy level, and anything else that seems different from normal. For dog walks, I bring water when needed, give them breaks if they seem tired, and always pay attention to what they may try to pick up or eat outside. I also make sure visits are actually enjoyable for your pet! Depending on what they like, we can go for walks, play outside, play fetch or tug-of-war, cuddle, or just hang out together. Some pets want to play the entire visit and others would rather sit next to me on the couch — I’m happy either way. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while giving them plenty of attention and love.
Ratings and reviews
So helpful and flexible as always, even dealing with medication and extra attention required for a sick cat.
Nicole arrived promptly to give Sophia a walk. Sophia liked her immediately. Nicole was friendly, gave her lots of pets and because it was a rainy day, she wiped her paws when she returned. I will use her again as need be
Always the best!
Always so helpful and flexible - thanks again!
Took great care of the beasts!
We went for a two-day trip with the family and needed someone to take care of the cat at home while we were out. Nicole did a great job making sure our cat had food, water, a clean litter box, some play time and some well deserved treats! Nicole updated us with pictures and a detailed description of everything that she did. Thank you for making us having a worry-free trip!

Schedule
I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, cat care, pet sitting, and overnight/in-home care depending on availability. My schedule changes throughout the week, but I have a pretty wide range of availability and always try my best to accommodate my clients. Clear communication about dates, times, and care instructions is very important to me. I ask that all scheduling details are confirmed through text or through the Rover app so that we both have everything in writing and there is no confusion. Cancellation Policy: I completely understand that plans can change, and I always try to be as flexible as possible. At the same time, once I reserve dates for a client, I often turn down other requests for those same dates. Each client receives one free cancellation per year for a booking of up to two days. I will send a confirmation approximately one week before your scheduled booking. If the booking is canceled after that confirmation, a 20% cancellation fee may apply. Last-minute cancellations may result in a 50–100% fee, depending on how close the cancellation is to the scheduled service and the length of the booking. I will always do my best to work with you in unexpected situations — this policy is mainly to protect time that has already been reserved specifically for your pets.

- Before caring for your pet, I like to know as much as possible about their normal routine so I can make them feel comfortable and keep everything consistent. Please let me know about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, injuries or medical conditions, bathroom routines, favorite activities, and anything else that is important to their care. For dogs, I also like to know how they normally behave on walks, how they react to other dogs/people, and if there is anything they are afraid of or tend to react to. Please also provide emergency contact information and veterinarian information for longer stays or pets with medical needs.
