Pet care experience
My life with pets, like many of us, started young with a goldfish and a hamster. Since that time I've crafted a life for myself that has gifted me many opportunities to work with a plethora of animals from your typical household dogs and cats to caring for chickens, goats, and even walking a retired llama 2 miles to his new farm home. I have experienced the joy of puppy potty training to managing medication for senior dogs and cats alike. I have helped care for reptiles in a zoo setting and trained to handle birds of prey for educational showcases. Currently I have a small menagerie that includes a dog, 2 cats, a rat, and a tarantula. They are my chosen children. If selected as your pet sitter, I can assure you that your pets will be treated with equal love and respect for their unique personality.
Reviews
Nicole was awesome! Johnny received all the love he needed while I was serving as a volunteer Paramedic. Nicole made sure Johnny got plenty of walks and outdoor time along with toy and tug play. Her photos reassured me that Johnny was happy and I came home to a happy, healthy puppy.
Nicole is reliable and even played with the pups in the snow
It was quickly apparent how much Nicole loves animals when we met her, and we knew they would be well taken care of when we were away. She provided regular updates with photos, and took amazing care of both the animals and the house. She even did the laundry! We'll definitely be using her for all of our house and pet sitting needs in the future. Thanks Nicole! :)
Thank you, Nicole! Our cats were singing your praises when we got home. Our home was left neater than we left it, with everyone taken good care of, and all the right meds administered while we were out of town, giving us peace of mind. It’s always hard leaving your pets and home while away, but Nicole was communicative and responsive while we were gone. I am so grateful for her and hope she will consider caring for our cats when we have to leave town again! :)

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large unfenced yard but have long leads if an animal needs to be tethered. All outside play time is supervised and treats are utilized often. I enjoy structured play to encourage trust and bonding with the animals in my care.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs to account for. I'm eager and willing to learn. I'm also happy to help with more than just dogs and cats!
A typical day
I have my dog pick out the toy she wants to play with, usually her long squeaky snake. Long since made un-squeak-able, we play lots of tug with this beloved toy. Let your pet teach me their way to play!

Pet care is essential to me. I am sure my dog and rat get plenty of sunshine, play time. The cats have a couple hours a day outside to explore as well.
