Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted by Dogs. Tolerated by Cats.
I’ve always been the one my family goes to train our pets ever since we got our first dog; and it’s been my favorite job ever since! I love learning about different breeds but most importantly how to speak their language. From puppies to elderly cats, I’m happy to care for your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment
My own pups thrive on routine but it’s understandable if yours enjoy that nonchalant schedule. I do think play time, mental stimulation, and a local sniffari is the best way for a good nights sleep. On our walks, I’ll try to make the most of our time together by seeing what environments they feel most safe in.
Ratings and reviews
What an amazing pet sitter! Our dog can be a bit nervous with people, but he absolutely LOVES Nicole. She came ready with treats too, so they were best friends pretty fast. Will be rebooking with her for sure!
Nicole's love for animals is evident. With years of experience caring for her own animals, she will treat your pets just like her own! She is attentive to details, a great communicator, and respectful - all the characteristics you need for a phenomenal pet sitter! 10/10 recommend
Nicole is absolutely amazing with dogs! She has been taking care of my two dogs, Koko and Haru, since they were puppies, and she truly loves them like her own. Haru is an Akita, and Nicole worked with him from a young age on leash manners and socialization. She taught him not to pull on the leash, which made such a difference and allowed me to comfortably take him on walks. She also spent a lot of time socializing him, and today he is the sweetest, most loving and well-behaved dog. Koko (Yorkshire) is now a senior and needs extra care and medications, and Nicole is wonderful with him. She is patient, loving, responsible, and very comfortable giving him his medications and making sure he gets all the care and attention he needs. My dogs absolutely adore Nicole, and I trust her completely. She genuinely loves animals, and you can see it in the way she cares for them. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dogs! ❤️🐾
Went above and beyond taking care of my two young pitbulls. Extremely knowledgeable when it comes to pet care whether it be medication, grooming, or training. Highly recommend to anyone else looking for a pet service expert.
Nicole was absolutely amazing with my Toby! My fur baby suffers from severe anxiety, but Nicole was incredibly patient, understanding, and attentive to his needs. Toby also has IVDD and requires medication, which Nicole handled with care and ease. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such capable and loving hands. I highly recommend Nicole and her services to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!
