Pet care experience

Loves dogs, cats, birds & bunnies!

Dogs are my happy place. I love animals in general, but dogs are just special to me. To me, a house without a dog is just a place. With a dog, it’s a home. I have never not had a dog that I can remember, and each of them holds a special place in my heart. I currently have two dogs, Virgil, (a tiny chihuahua) and Emmett (a French bulldog),& a great big cat named Boo. We recently (Easter 2020) took in another kitty. My son named him Doug, and he is sweet, goofy, and full of mischief! They all get along very well. For fun and exercise, I like to start with a nice walk. Then, if it is something the dogs like, we can play fetch or tug for awhile. Then it’s time for water and treats and a walk back home. If there is a dog park that the pet parents know and trust, then I’m happy to do that, too.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

The safety and comfort of the animal is my primary focus. I want to know any specific requests for your pet so that I can provide the absolute best care. **IMPORTANT NOTES** - I must be notified before booking a service if anyone else may be in the residence during my visits. I have made accommodations on a limited basis in the past (such as with an elderly relative in the home), however, this will be based solely on my comfort level and at my discretion. - I will not accept same day or short notice bookings for new clients. Before I care for your pet, it’s important that I have a chance to meet them (and you) in advance.**

Nicole took wonderful care of my super shy kitty, Isabel. Not many people can get her out to be petted but Isael was immediately comfortable with her !

Nicole was excellent to work with! We enjoyed our week-long vacation worry-free knowing that our cat was in such great hands! She provided detailed and hilarious updates throughout the week with sweet and goofy cat pics to go along with. I will absolutely be reaching out in the future and hope others do too!

Schedule

I’m a SAHM, so my schedule is pretty flexible. The most requested visit time is for a midday potty break, so that is a busy time and it books fast! I can do afternoon and evening visits, too- but I try not to schedule after 9pm.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Nicole can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Do they have any special needs? Is there something that they really love or absolutely hate? Is there a certain place or sound or situation that frightens them? What are their favorite games or toys? I would love a chance to meet your pet before I care for them the first time. I have no breed (or species) preferences. I love them all, even reptiles! ** I will no longer be accepting same-day bookings for new clients. Before I care for your pet, it’s important that I have a chance to meet them (and you) ahead of time**
