Highlights
Pet care experience
A huge pet lover with a big heart
Hello, I am a post-college student who attended Adelphi University that can't have any furbabies of my own so I make up for it by caring for everyone else's pets haha. I've been caring for animals for over 8 years including rehabilitating wild animals such as squirrels and birds. I'm experienced with cats, dogs, birds, fish, small mammals, and some reptiles. I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for over 50 families and can provide multiple references if needed. I have watched over 100 cats and dogs! I am also experienced in basic training or potty training as I have trained some dogs before. I can deal with all ages and sizes! I absolutely love animals and am mostly doing this because I don't have any of my own. This is how I get my fill! I'm a friendly, loyal, animal-lover living vicariously through your pet owners ship 😂 Please help me out by letting me help you out! Thank you, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you. (Please note that my rates are completely negotiable! They are just a reference and I am completely willing to talk to you about the best charges!) P.S i am also available for basic training, potty training, and behavioral training and can include this in overnight stays for an extra fee. I can also bring dogs to the dog park weekly. I have a car and can travel where needed

Ratings and reviews
I can’t describe how grateful I am to Nicole. My husband and I went away for our wedding in Mexico and we had the best person we could’ve asked for to watch our boy Buddy Bear. She made it feel like we weren’t even gone and kept us updated all the time with photos. He absolutely loved her as much as we did. Thank you so much Nicole for everything!
Nicole was an absolutely fantastic catsitter! She took wonderful care of my cat, who was happy and well-fed throughout our time away. The litter box was kept clean, meals and treats were provided, and Nicole kept me updated constantly with messages and adorable photos. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!
Found our go-to sitter for our cat. She is great! Super fast responses and frequent updates. Definitely a pro with animals. We even learned more about cooper with her help. Thanks again for everything!
Nicole did an amazing job watching our two cat’s Oliver and Lucy! She sent the best updates with pictures and videos while we were away for the weekend it was so sweet and thoughtful!
Nicole did an amazing job watching our sweet boy Mowgli being our first sitter on Rover. We were concerned about his back legs being an older boy and not knowing his limits. Nicole did a perfect job heeding our caution, following explicit instructions left for his care including medication administering and taking such good care of him. Very communicative and sends so many pictures and videos that we were at ease the entire time away from him. Could not recommend more!
We absolutely adore Nicole! She cared for our whole crew — goats, dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks. And somehow made every single one of them feel special. Our animals light up when she’s around, and it gives us so much peace knowing they’re in her loving care. She doesn’t just look after them — she connects with them, plays with them, and truly makes them feel loved. On top of that, she’s an incredible photographer, so we got a steady stream of gorgeous photos while we were away. We came home to happy and tired animals and full hearts. Nicole is a treasure!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a car to travel anywhere needed with your pup (vet, dog park or even Starbucks to get a puppachino!) I have experience in administering topical, oral and injection medication in both dogs and cats. I have provided rehabilitation to wild animals so am experience in injuries and can provide basic first aid to pets.
Pets
A typical day
I usually take long walks around my neighborhood, visiting parks on the way. I love taking dogs to a large field and running around with them, occasionally tossing a ball. If it's okay with you, I can even take your pooch to a dog park. And sometimes when they are extra good, we can pass by Starbucks for a puppachino!
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsNo females in heatNicole can host up to 3 pets per night
- I don't have any breed preferences but I would like to know if your dog is neutered/spayed and if they are potty trained. It's also helpful to know if they are food possessive, toy possessive, or aggressive with other dogs or people. It won't change my mind or rates or anything, it's just helpful to know, especially when taking your pup out!
