Pet care experience

I treat your pets like I do mine :)

I have a very special place in my heart for animals. I grew up in a family that fostered 50+ pups and cats back in Illinois, and have continued the tradition by fostering on my own here in Texas! We have two fur babies- Zoey and Manny. Zoey we rescued after she was abandoned in Missouri, and Manny we saved from a kill shelter in San Antonio.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my top priority during every visit. I always make sure doors and gates are securely closed to prevent escapes, and I’m experienced with all types of walking equipment. I’ll carefully check that collars, harnesses, and leashes are properly fitted before any walk. During drop-ins, I also keep an eye out for potential hazards in the home to ensure your pet stays safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. My pets are well taken care of as is the environment they live in. A comfortable, safe space to be able to play and rest as needed is very important :)

Nicole is awesome! She walked my Milo twice for me today. In this Texas heat! God Bless her! She made sure my sweet boy had playtime in the yard, she gave him lots of loving, he loves to be scratched on his back & belly rubs❤️I work all day & having a Border Collie, I know he gets bored at home while Im gone. So she was an angel for making sure he got some exercise & playtime & got some of that Border Collie energy out. Nicole is the best!

Nicole agreed to walk our dogs on very short notice and was fantastic. Super reliable, great with the dogs, and easy to work with — highly recommend.

Nicole was a very responsible sitter and took good notes/pictures. I appreciated her taking care of our dog and would rebook her again.

Nicole provided great care for our dog who was in a cone. He needed a midday break and she knew how to take care and interact appropriately with him. She left good notes on her visits. I would trust Nicole again with my dog.

Any and all information on your pets habits, medications, and quirks are helpful. I want to be able to cater to each individual characteristic of your baby.
