Since I am currently working from home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide consistent, loving care for your pet throughout the day. My schedule allows me to be present for long-term companionship and to easily accommodate any specific needs your pet may have. Since I only step out for quick errands like grabbing food or attending the occasional workout class, I'm able to regularly let pets out, check in on their wellbeing, and give them the attention they need. Whether your pet enjoys quiet cuddle time, play breaks, or has unique care routines, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, supported, and loved all day long.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience that started back when I was a preteen. Growing up with two dogs and a cat, I learned early on just how much joy and connection animals bring into our lives. One of my favorite memories is teaching my first dog agility—such a fun and rewarding way for us to bond, stay active, and strengthen our communication. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for many pets, from family and friends to new clients who instantly knew I was the right fit for their furry companion. In fact, on three separate occasions, people I met for the first time, told me right away that they could feel I was “the one” to care for their beloved pup. I believe it’s my kind, gentle spirit and open-hearted presence that animals (and their humans) naturally respond to. What sets me apart as a sitter is my genuine love and respect for each animal’s unique personality, along with my experience caring for senior dogs and those with specific needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home—even when you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just some quiet companionship, I’m here to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for every step of the way.

Nicole did an amazing job watching after our little guy. He has a lot of social anxiety but warmed right up to Nicole which put our minds at rest. Nicole went above and beyond our expectations by keeping us informed with pictures and updates. Nicole left our house very clean. I wish I could give a 10 star review instead of 5. We are very excited to work with Nicole in the future and can't recommend her enough.

Nicole provides the absolute best care for my fur baby. She loves dogs and treats each dog in her care like her own. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in good hands when I can’t be there. Nicole is reliable, kind and professional, I highly recommend.

Nicole is absolutely wonderful! She is kind, responsible, and incredibly caring, not just with pets, but with their owners too. She has a natural ability to connect with animals, and it’s clear how much they love being around her. I have a reactive dog who normally doesn’t warm up to people easily, but he loves Nicole. From the very beginning, she approached him with patience and understanding, and their bond grew quickly. It gave me so much peace of mind to see him comfortable and happy with someone I trust. Nicole is attentive, trustworthy, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their furbabies like family!

We are beyond grateful to have found Nicole to watch our three dogs. From the moment we met her, we knew they were in the best hands. Nicole has such a kind, calming energy and our pups immediately felt comfortable around her (which says a lot, especially for our more sensitive ones!). Throughout the entire time we were away, Nicole kept us updated with messages and adorable photos, which made us feel totally at ease. It was clear from every update how much she genuinely cared for them — from the snuggles to the playtime to the thoughtful attention to each dog's unique personality and needs. We came home to three happy, relaxed pups and a house that was just as we left it — spotless and full of love. Nicole truly went above and beyond and we can’t thank her enough. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible and full of heart to care for your dogs like they’re her own, Nicole is the one. We can’t wait to have her back!
