Pet care experience
🐾 Lifelong Animal Lover 🐾
Hi there! I'm Nicole and animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up surrounded by all kinds of pets—large and small dogs, cats, horses, chickens, guinea pigs—you name it! I know every animal has their own personality and needs, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’ve also provided in-depth medical care for my own senior dog, so I’m comfortable administering medications, handling special diets, and giving pets the extra attention they may need during recovery or as they age. Whether it's a high-energy puppy, a shy rescue cat, or a quirky flock of chickens, I’m here to help them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Let me know how I can support your pets—I’d love to meet them!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet is unique, and I always tailor my care based on their individual needs, routines, and personalities. Whether I’m watching pets in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In your home: When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. That includes feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you provide—medications, favorite toys, calming techniques, etc. I make sure to keep the space tidy and give plenty of updates so you know your pets are in good hands. In my home: If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re treated like family. I make sure they have a cozy space to relax, lots of attention and affection, and safe play areas. I only accept pets who are a good fit for the environment, and I always do a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone feels comfortable. My goal is to give your pets a stress-free, loving experience while you're away—and give you peace of mind, too.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole went above and beyond
Nicole was so great! We knew Badger was in great hands. And we got so many pictures while we were away, which was awesome. Thanks Nicole!!
Nicole was awesome! She was flexible, communicative, kinda and easy to coordinate with. My dog seemed relaxed and happy with her!
Nicole is amazing and a very responsible pet caregiver. I have seen first hand how amazing and devoted she was to her own dog and his complex medical needs. As someone who's dog is also a bit medically needy, I am not just going to trust anyone with my dog. Of the handful that I would trust, Nicole is top of the list due to her personal pet caregiving as well as her general medical understanding from her job. I know she would do anything and everything for any animal in her care. I would without a doubt use her to watch my pets in the future!
Nicole is an amazing pet sitter!!! I have known her for years and would trust her with any pet (also my human kids!). She is so kind and such a calming presence for my anxious retriever mix. Barkley is always so happy to snuggle right up to her! Nicole is also very organized and professional. Grand Junction, you and your pets are so lucky to get her!
