Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always make sure to follow their usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I keep their feeding, walking, and play schedules consistent, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they get the exercise and affection they need. I also keep the home tidy and treat it with the same respect as my own. My goal is to make your pets feel happy and loved while you’re away.

Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. Please share their feeding schedule, favorite activities, walking habits, and how they do around other pets or people. I’d also like to know if they have any allergies or medications. The more I know, the better I can make them feel comfortable and cared for!

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy! Depending on their energy level, I’ll take them on walks, play fetch, tug-of-war, or explore nearby parks. For pets who prefer to relax, I’ll spend time giving belly rubs, cuddles, or just keeping them company. My goal is to make sure every pet has fun and feels loved while in my care!

I love walks, playtime, & cuddles!

Pet care experience

I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for family/friends and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or giving extra attention to shy or senior pets, I make sure every pet feels comfortable and loved. I treat each pet like my own and always make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

Nicole was fantastic. Showed up daily at expected times, took pictures, let my kitties in the patio for outdoor time that they love. Thanks so much for watching my babies, would definitely use again.

Nicole was very swift in answering the request to pet sit my cat. She took time out of her day for a quick walk through of my home and instructions pretty late in the day so she was very accommodating and flexible. When it came time to petsit, she would come by at the same time and followed instructions very clearly and accurately. She even stayed a bit longer to play with him and made sure he got enough human interaction. 10/10 would rebook again

Nicole was amazing! She has great communication, and my girls loved her. She was patient and understanding when it came to my reactive dog and took the time to let her warm up to her. I will definitely be using Nicole again in the future and have already suggested her services to my fellow dog parents at work!
