Information Nicole C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs that need to be accounted for. I have past experience with administering oral medications. Another important thing to know is if your dog has an allergies or has behavioral issues so that I can ensure we have an all around positive experience!

A typical day

Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, active playtime, or sticking to your pup’s routine, I’m here to give them a safe, loving environment. When walking dogs, I love bringing them to areas where they can sniff, explore, play fetch, and just be a dog! If they’re a good fit, I especially enjoy taking them to dog parks for extra freedom and fun in a safe, controlled environment.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Nicole! Ever since I got my first pet at the age of 5, I’ve had a deep love for animals that’s only grown stronger. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, a rescued hedgehog, and my sweet Westie Luna. I also helped neighbors by walking and pet-sitting their dogs, which helped me develop a strong sense of responsibility and trustworthiness early on. When I moved to college, I missed my furry friends—until I met Milo and Dwight, two pups that reminded me why I love being around animals so much. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior dog, I’m comfortable with all breeds and temperaments. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, and experienced sitter who will treat your pet like family, I’d love to connect!

Nicole was amazing and was able to watch Jack at the last minute. She kept me updated and was in touch the whole time I was home. I’d definitely recommend Nicole!
