Loving Pet Care💕

Hi Everyone, My name is Nicole and I am a student at the University of South Florida 💚. Ever since I was little, I’ve been surrounded by animals, and my love for animals has grown stronger over the years. I’ve always had a deep passion for caring for animals because they hold a special place in my heart. Growing up I learned firsthand the importance of providing love, attention, and proper care to our furry companions, and it has shaped me into the animal lover I am today. I love all kinds of animals- dogs, cats, rodents, etc. There’s just something so special about the bond we share with them, and I enjoy every aspect of taking care of pets, from feeding and playing to ensuring their comfort and well-being. Animals bring me so much joy, and I feel blessed to be able to spend time with them. Luckily I have a dog of my own, and he is a small Maltese mix who loves to play around 🦴. I have a very flexible schedule and I am happy to coordinate a time that works best for you. Please feel free to reach out anytime- I would love the opportunity to work with your pets and provide them with the care and attention they deserve! I will update my calendar at all times as per availability. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends 🐾.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize the safety, comfort, and wellbeing of pets whether in my home or a client's home. I ensure they have a clean, secure environment, provide fresh food and water, and follow any specific instructions given by the owner. I am attentive to their needs, offering companionship, exercise, and playtime while maintaining a calm and stress-free atmosphere. Having cared for my own dog my whole life, I understand the importance of trust and consistency in pet care, and I always strive to create a safe and nurturing environment.

Nicole was absolutely amazing with my three big boys (two Golden Retrievers and one mix breed, all over 60 lbs)! She made the whole experience stress-free and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She sent pictures, kept me updated, communicated often, and was always quick to respond to any questions or requests. She is such a sweet, caring, and reliable person. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dogs were in her care, and I would absolutely recommend her and have her watch my boys again! 🐾

I have a dog of my own, whom I have cared for my whole life, so I have naturally adapted to a daily routine that including feeding, walking, playtime, and overall care. Pet care is an important part of my day, and I make sure to prioritize it within my schedule.

Knowing important details about pets ahead of time helps me give them the best care. Understanding their routines, diet, behaviors, and needs allows me to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while building trust with both the pets and their owners. 😊
