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 🐾.

Nicole was an absolute lifesaver for us! We had a last-minute situation arise, and she was incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule. She took fantastic care of our cat, Luna, for a couple of days. Nicole is exceptionally professional, prompt, and communicative. Knowing Luna was in such reliable hands gave us complete peace of mind. We will definitely be booking her again!

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.

Pets

A typical day

I love spending quality time with the pets I watch and make sure they have a blast while you’re away! Whether it’s taking dogs on walks, playing fetch, or having fun chilling, I make sure they stay active and engaged . For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys and plenty company. I always tailor the activities to match each pet’s personality and energy level, so they feel happy and loved.

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. 😊
