Pet care experience

Caring cat whisperer in Wallingford

I offer a 15% discount if you’re within a few blocks of Union Saloon or Cantinetta. I’ve cared for cats and kittens most of my life, including my own diabetic kitty. I currently have two younger cats, Primrose and Peeta. I’m confident with meds, including injections, and comfortable with any level of spicy. 🌶😻🌶 I’m also happy to care for birds, exotics, or other small mammals. I love taking photos of your fur family, especially those elusive tongue-out and blep moments 😂 I’m also fully insured for added peace of mind.

Nicole did a great job caring for our senior cats. One of our cats had a medical issue that came up and Nicole was tremendous helping get him promptly to the vet and letting us know what was going on. Highly recommended!

Nicole was very attentive and responsive. Detailed and cute updates while I was away was very comforting and I felt at ease knowing that Nicole was coming. Administered medicine with ease!

Nicole did an amazing job taking care of our kitties and helping make sure the ants didn’t take over while we were away! She takes such good photos and the cats love their playtime with her.

Nicole is the absolute best!!! She was super communicative and did everything to keep our kitty happy and healthy. Nicole had the extremely harrowing task of giving our cat Samba her inhaler, which no one besides us had ever done! And Nicole found a way to make it work, putting in extra time to make it as calming as possible for Samba, all of which gave us huge peace of mind while we were away. I will definitely book with Nicole again!!

Schedule

I work from home in Wallingford with a flexible schedule, so I can do drop-ins anytime. I’m happy to be a regular caregiver or a pinch hitter.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Nicole can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
I would love to know about your pet’s regular routine and any past experiences with other caregivers. Knowing what “normal” looks like helps me keep them content and notice any changes. Especially with shy or spicy kitties, I like to talk about what helps them feel most comfortable. I always let them take the lead, but the more details you can share, the better we’ll start off on the right track.
