Loves dogs, cats, birds & bunnies!
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Nicole is really amazing. She was able to come to the rescue when we needed a last minute sitter. She’s so sweet with our older girl. She even took in our mail and packages. We are so grateful for her.
Nicole is the best. Sparky loves her - he always gets great playtime as well as getting the necessities taken care of. She goes over and above and treats my guy like she would her own.
She’s so great with the dogs!
Always the best, she really takes great care of our dogs

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 NOTE** I must be notified before booking a service if anyone else is expected to 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.
Information Nicole A. would like to know about your pet
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**
A typical day
Walks along the trails or anywhere that the owners usually like to take their pet. When the weather is nice, lots of outdoor time with a ball or frisbee or tug rope.
Services
Nicole can watch in your home
Availability
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.
