Professional, reliable pet nanny
Pet care experience
I have over 20 years of in-home pet-sitting and care experience with a great list of references. I provide all basic needs (feeding, cleaning, light grooming, play & love) as well as much needed exercise and enrichment. I will administer medications as needed and have had a lot of experience doing so (including eye drops, ear drops, oral meds, insulin injections and I. V./sub-q fluids). I am educated by Northwest School of Animal Massage and Tall Grass Animal Acupressure. I am a certified and insured Small Animal Massage Practitioner (SAMP). I have owned TIMBER TAILS - a mobile physical therapy for companion animals business since 2007. I love working with and caring for people's pets. I recognize them as members of the family and know how important it is that they have all their needs met by a responsible and trustworthy person. My goal is to model your pet's normal daily routine as much as possible in your absence so they are comfortable and happy.
Reviews
Nicole has been like a second cat mom to our two rag doll kitties. I book her every single time we go on a trip. She is the best. I feel so at ease when I know Nicole will be caring for our girls while we are away. She brings them treats, brushes them, and even puts on their "favorite program" (Cat TV). Nicole always leaves our house clean, and refreshes all the food and water bowls. She goes above and beyond for us and our kitties. We appreciate her so much, and highly highly recommend her!
We have used Nicole on several occasions for our two Bernese Mountain Dogs. She is amazing with the dogs and takes great care to be sure all of their needs are met. She sends pictures to keep us updated on her visits but most importantly Windsor and Kensington LOVE her. We never like to leave our dogs home as they are part of our family but if we do have to Nicole is the one we will always call to care for them. We know that Nicole loves her work, she is responsible, on time, communicative and you never need to worry if your pets are cared for, safe and happy.
If you want responsible care, Nicole is your ticket. She is dependable and caring and I have no worries when I have to travel with her on the job. I cannot recommend her enough.
As always, Nicole was fabulous with our puppies. She is great with handling medication and giving our dogs lots of love while we are gone. We will definitely continue to use Nicole.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I model care for people's pets as close to their own routine in their home and play spaces. I focus on consistency, safety and predictability.
Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet
I like learning about odd behaviors and quirks, your pet's history and any issues or concerns no matter how small or insignificant you may think they are. Let's face it - we all have them!
A typical day
Walks and hikes in safe environments, their favorite enrichment toys and activities, time for pets, massages and love. I'm a big fan of nosework for dogs and just about any toy that cats go for - bring it on!

I run my own mobile pet therapy practice and when I have appointment gaps in my schedule the perfect fit is for me to care for local pets in my service area. I provide care in their own home and give dogs much needed walks, enrichment and quality play time.
