Pet care experience

Friendly and Flexible Petsitter

Hi! I’m Nicole, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two very loved pups. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else — they’re family, and you want to know they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I’m the kind of pet sitter who genuinely enjoys the little things: walks, playtime, cuddles, keeping to your pet’s normal routine, and sending plenty of photos and updates so you know they’re happy while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I’m happy to follow detailed feeding, medication, walking, and care instructions. My goal is to make your pet’s time with me as stress-free and comfortable as possible. I’m reliable, communicative, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you feel completely comfortable calling whenever you need help. 🐾 What I offer 🐕 Dog walking 🏠 Drop-in visits ❤️ House sitting 🐶 Boarding I’m always happy to arrange a meet & greet beforehand so we can make sure I’m the right fit for you and your pets!

I'm so relieved that Nicole is there to watch my dog and I can go away (whether for a day trip or a long trip) without worrying about my beloved pet.

We have known Nicole her whole adult life. She has often cared for our dogs, two large Labradors. She is a pet lover. She volunteered at an animal shelter when she was a teenager and is currently volunteering at an animal shelter as an adult in her community. She owns a dog and a cat and they are lovingly cared for. She has been involved in animal rescue during her time living in Morocco, successfully finding homes for cruelly abused animals. Both of her animals are rescues. I have no doubt in my mind she would care for your pet as if it was her own. She is trustworthy and always does what is expected. She is not just a neighbor down the street but an educated Masters Level social worker who incorporates her love of pets into her daily life. Your pet would be in the very best of hands.

Nicole was our go-to dogsitter (and babysitter!) for 3 years when we lived in the same city. We cannot recommend her highly enough. She is exceedingly responsible and genuinely loved playing with our pups, who loved her just as much as we did. We would often get pics and other updates while we were away on work trips or family vacations, and she even helped evacuate our dog (among many, many others) when international transport options for pets shut down in the wake of the pandemic. In short, she is the best!
