Pet care experience

All pet personalities welcome

Hi I am a PA student with lots of free time to play with and love on your pets while you are away. I have been pet sitting since I was 15 years old and have owned many different dog and cat breeds. I have experience giving pets medication including injections such as insulin. I own two 90 lbs high energy dogs of my own however due to being away at school they are with my husband in another state. I would love to watch any pets from the super high energy ones with the zoomies to the calmer pets hang out on the couch pets.

Nicole was amazing! I know I have a high maintenance dog because of the breed, him not being neutered and trying to mark everywhere, and having a very anxious and very attached kind of personality. I left a very detailed and lengthy message for her prior to dropping my little man off about everything I could think of that might make the experience easier for both of them. And not only did she adhere to everything I asked her to do, but she exceeded well above my expectations of what my idea of a sitter should do and be! I also would like to mention that the day I was supposed to drop my pup off, we were dealing with a severe ice storm that had made the roads very treacherous and businesses close. It was a nightmare getting my rental car and my drop off times continued to change because of it. Nicole very easily could have canceled on me or told me to take a hike. Instead, she put my mind at ease and told me to just get there when I got there, and safely. She is super flexible and easy going and I could not ask for a better person to take care of what I consider as a family member! She updated my fiance and I often with pictures, and even introduced our little man to a dog park- something I was always nervous about doing because of his adhd and inability to stay focused very long on certain things. She also was very flexible with my pickup time as I was driving back from a 10-hour trip and was unsure of my arrival time. I look forward to booking future stays with Nicole! Y'all are crazy if you book anybody else!

Nicole is an excellent and responsible pet caregiver. She has taken care of my pets work I was on vacation and she was extremely attentive and treated them like her own. Nicole is an amazing pet sitter and person overall. I trust her every time with my fur babies.

Nicole is great! I have five cats and while I was in the hospital recovering after surgery she took great care of all five! She made sure to send me lots of pictures so that I could see how well they were doing. It was a huge burden lifted from me to know they were there being loved. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone who needs a responsible, loving person to look after their pets. Top notch service.

I cannot recommend Nicole enough! She took incredible care of my dog, Andi, who can be a bit of a handful—she’s a sassy little wiener dog and not always the friendliest. But Nicole was patient, kind, and truly went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and cared for. I felt completely at ease knowing Andi was in such good hands. Nicole gave great updates, clearly paid attention to all of Andi’s quirks, and treated her like her own. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, Nicole is the one. I would absolutely book with her again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am currently a PA student with a very flexible schedule that allows me to be home majority of the week. In addition my school is 5 minutes away from my apartment so I will come home multiple times during the day to make sure your pets have potty breaks and play time during the day. I can accommodate any needs your pet may have during their stay with me and due to my own personal pet owner experience understand the importance of following your preferences.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment building has a fenced in dog park that will allow your dog to get out their energy and greet city park located right behind my complex will allow us to go on fun walks. I live on the bottom floor near the entrance so I can accommodate any older pets who may have mobility issues. If your dog loves playing with other dogs my complex has many other dogs who love to have play dates at the dog park.
