Highlights
Pet care experience
Think of me as fun auntie
From training small pups, to caring for senior pets, I have experience my whole life. I’m like the fun auntie that you call. Need me to clean cat litter after a dog walk, I believe in doing the job you requested as well as any small task that makes sure other animals are cared for. I take my time, have patience, and will communicate with you throughout the process as needed/requested.

Safety, trust & environment
When I care for pets in a clients home, the first thing I do is introduce myself to them through a message. I make sure to ask for any last min request or information I may need that isn't provided. When I arrive for my first pet care service, I walk in slow so as not to startle pets with new stranger. For dog walks I make sure to locate treats, harness (if using) and leash. For other pet care services, I look for harness, leash, and food/water bowls, food, and make sure to clean the area as needed around it. I find quick hi and then look for food bowls often makes nervous pets feel more curious and less scared. They see me actively providing for them, being calm and realize they can decide how much of this becomes a friendship.
Ratings and reviews
Nicky has the biggest heart of anyone I know. She was excellent with our beloved mutt, Brigid. She is well-versed in care and training, and got Brigid to heel and sit after we had given up trying to get her to listen at all! Highly recommend.

Schedule
Currently I’m working freelance, so my schedule is rather flexible. When you choose me for pet care, I will prioritize my schedule with you first.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsNicole can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Food and other allergies/ health issues, food habits, where and when food or treats are allowed temperament, if they are recently adopted and background knowledge if known. Vet number for emergencies as well as 2 numbers to call if I can't get in touch with owner, I want to know their favorite, food, treat, toy, places to be scratched, places they don't want to be scratched, favorite places to walk, dogs they love seeing, things to avoid. If there is something extra you would like to have happen and how important it is, (claws, bath, wipe down crate, check water, after walk treat etc). Don't worry if you think the request is odd, I don't mind singing to your pup, or putting on a specific movie for your cat. The more I know the better I can care for them as you would.
