Highlights
Pet care experience
Avid dog lover. Loved by an old cat
Absolutely adore dogs and cats, and really any pets. I am familiar with basic care for most household pets. I have more experience with special needs animals as well as older animals though I am capable of working with puppies! I have dog-sat for numerous friends and family over the years - as well as some time walking dogs for owners who had health issues arise and couldn't themselves! I grew up with two dobermans (one was 120lbs, pictured in my profile pic) and I currently have an elderly cat in my care. I miss interacting with dogs and I'm looking forward to being able to spend some time with the puppers again!

Safety, trust & environment
I currently work 3 days a week (MWF) and on those days I am not able to give potty breaks to any pets that require breaks less than 8 hours at a time. The rest of the week my schedule is super flexible and I’m able to hangout with them for longer!
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was FANTASTIC! She took such good care of my babies and sent me the cutest photos every day. Very responsible, respectful, and hardworking!
Great communication, and Wyatt was a happy guy.
Responsible, communicative, and pets love her, even our nervous chihuahua and shy kitty.
We booked Nicole to stay at our house and watch our dogs for a week. She didn’t provide the level of care we asked for & that she agreed to (see below for details). We didn’t trust our dogs in her care and it stressed us out during our vacation. - She was explicitly asked to walk the dogs every, she walked them twice - She left the house several times in the middle of the night and didn’t come back until the next day
Unfortunately she broke my trust by leaving my dog unattended over night and did not communicate this to me or Rover.
Nicole has sat for us twice. We have a 4-pet household, and she has always done a great job. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I am available for morning/early afternoon walks or drop-ins. I can spend time giving them some good exercise and attention from play or cuddles especially in the evenings or weekends.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDogs over 1 year oldNicole can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I'd love to know what they like to do for play. Where they usually sleep, if they have dietary needs/medications, and if there is anything specific about them I need to know to maximize their care.
