Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet

To ensure your pet has the absolute best, safest, and most stress-free stay possible, I’d love to gather a few details during our initial chat or meet-and-greet. Please let me know about: Routine & Schedule: What are their normal feeding times, portion sizes, and bathroom habits? I aim to mirror their home routine as closely as possible to minimize anxiety. Energy & Fitness Level: Since I am highly active and provide 3–4 walks a day, I want to ensure the physical activity is tailored to them. Are they a high-energy pup who loves long strides, or a senior dog who prefers slow, sniffing strolls? Behavior & Triggers: How do they react on a leash? Are they reactive to other dogs, cats, bicycles, or sudden noises? Knowing their triggers helps me keep them perfectly safe and confident when we are out in the environment. Separation Anxiety & Comfort: How do they handle being away from you? Do they have a favorite comfort toy, crate preference, or a specific sleeping arrangement that makes them feel safe? Medical & Dietary Needs: Please share any allergies, dietary restrictions, or medication schedules. Because I work from home and take pride in managing a premium, controlled, and safe environment, having this information upfront allows me to give your pet the tailored, five-star care they deserve!

A typical day

A Typical Day in My Care: Because I work from home full-time, your pet steps directly into a structured, high-energy, and incredibly attentive daily routine: 5:00 AM – 7:30 AM | The Morning Momentum: Our day starts early! I love seizing the morning, so we begin with a fresh outdoor walk to get the energy moving, followed by breakfast and fresh water. 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM | WFH Companionship: As I log into my finance work, your pet settles into a peaceful, safe home environment. Pups usually snooze right by my desk or enjoy a chew toy, while cats find their favorite sunny spot. They have my constant supervision and company throughout the morning. 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM | Midday Shakeout: Lunchtime means it’s time to break up the day. We head out for our second robust walk of the day to stretch our legs and burn off some midday energy. 1:00 PM – 4:30 PM | Afternoon Focus & Play: Back inside for quiet time, mental stimulation, or belly rubs between my projects. 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM | The Big Evening Walk: Once my workday wraps up, we hit the pavement for our main evening walk. This is a longer, high-quality stroll tailored to your dog’s specific fitness and energy level. 6:30 PM | Dinner & Wind Down: Dinner is served! The evening is reserved for pure relaxation, couch cuddles, and winding down in a calm, stress-free environment. 9:30 PM | Final Nightcap: A quick final bathroom break outside before turning in for a safe, sound night of sleep.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Nicole! As a lifelong animal lover and work-from-home professional, I provide a premium, highly attentive environment for your furry family members. Because my job keeps me at home, your pets will enjoy constant companionship, a structured routine, and plenty of love throughout the day. All dogs and cats are incredibly welcome in my home! I have a proven track record of dedicated pet and house sitting, ranging from local clients to elite travel requests—most recently, I was flown out to New York City for a dedicated two-week house and pet sitting assignment in Brooklyn this past May. I pride myself on maintaining the highest standard of care, ensuring your home and your pets are safe, happy, and respected.

Nicole is an incredible pet caregiver. We always trust her with our house and our three beautiful fur babies when we are out of town. She goes above and beyond with our goofy husky, chaotic shih tzu mix, and geriatric Chihuahua terrier. She is great with them on walks, catering to their unique needs, and ensuring they take their medication. We never have to worry about our pups being cared for when Nicole is caregiving. I'm so grateful for her and the phenomenal care she provides!!

Nicole wanted my dog, Lulu, on short notice. She was very accommodating with my schedule and easy to work with. Nicole made sure Lulu had multiple walks a day and was always taken care of. I felt safe leaving Lulu with Nicole. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a responsible and caring sitter.

Nicole is a very lovely lady who had pet-sited for me my dog and my cat. She loves to play and walk my dog, very intuitive about my cat’s needs. My Shih Tzu is very reactive to people but with Nicole, he feels comfortable and goes with her easily. Very happy to have someone I can trust with my pet babies.
