Pet care experience

Boston Photographer who Loves Pets!

34 year old Boston native, single special education teacher, working on building my photography business, who loves pets, big and small! I have many years as a dog owner and about 5 years of experience as a sitter and walker. I am currently on a weight loss journey and find that walking dogs is hugely motivating for me and helps keep my eye on the prize! I am available weekdays early morning until about 3pm, but am flexible. I have lots of experience with house and pet sitting and love taking breaks in my day to visit with and walk pups. I also love working on positive reinforcement training and hope to soon become a licensed trainer.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m obsessive about pet safety, always have extra harnesses and leashes, don’t walk anyone off leash and am super careful about gates! And never bring strangers into your homes!

Always reliable. Always quick to respond. Extremely patient with a stubborn and unpredictable terrier. Thanks Nicole!

We had Nicole stay over with our two small (15lb) dogs this past weekend. She did great with them! She gladly did a meet-and-greet with our boys before and welcomed our input for her stay with them and any special requests. She was easy to contact and responsive, and sent photos (which put my mind at ease.) When we arrived home, Rusty and Trouble seemed content and well cared for, and the house was in order. We plan to book Nicole again definitely!

Nicole was absolutely amazing with Baxter and Rosie. She even came to meet us ahead of time so the pups could get to know her. She put our mind at ease while we were gone for the weekend by sending us text message updates and pictures throughout the day and at night. She went above and beyond by letting our pups snuggle with her all night. I HIGHLY recommend Nicole!

Nicole is the best. She deals with my crazy dog who often doesn't even want to walk. Who ever heard of such a thing? She's patient and kind and sweet even so. Highly recommended.

This was the first time Nicole had stayed at our house to look after our two rescues and she is fabulous! She has a confident and reassuring manner (which definitely helps dogs with separation anxiety) and she is incredibly responsible -- she kept us posted on how they were doing, sent pictures, and even took them for an extra walk. We are thrilled that we found Nicole and we can't recommend her enough!

I'm very open to all breeds and sizes. I would like to know basics, like how comfortable they are with other dogs, are reliable off leash (in enclosed safe areas!), are there any health concerns.
