Empathy-Driven Cat Whisperer
Pet care experience
I have cared for cats my whole life and love every cat I meet, even the grumpy ones! I understand the number-one most important aspect of caring for a pet is respecting their boundaries. I have empathy for all cats and know how to take my time building trust. Hot take: I love both cats and dogs equally! (Just don't tell my cat I said that…) I specialize in cat care, but also have some experience working with pups. If you think we would be a good fit, let’s schedule a Meet & Greet!
Reviews
Nicole is very reliable. She sticks to schedules, pays attention to details, and will ensure your pets’ routines stay on track while you’re away. She loves animals and will make sure they are well taken care of. Without a doubt, Nicole would be an exceptional choice to look after your pets.
Nicole is a reliable pet sitter I have used several times to watch my cats. She not only checks in to feed them, but she also spends time with them, playing with my kitties and sending updates to provide peace of mind along the way. I appreciate having someone I can trust to watch my pets and would recommend her to anyone.
Nicole has been a good friend of mine for over a year, and I absolutely trust her with my dog. She has taken care of him a handful of times when I'm out of town, and she is so good with him! There are zero concerns from me. She genuinely cares about my dog, and she'd be an excellent person to partner with!
About Nicole D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a lifelong study of cat body language and know how to take my time when creating trust. I will respect your pet's boundaries and make sure they feel safe around me before going in for all the cuddles!
Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet
I primarily have experience with cats, and I am doing volunteer work to learn more about pups and dog behavior to ensure I can provide the most well-informed care to your pups, as well!
A typical day
I let the cat dictate their activities! Cats know what they want, and will tell us what they want in no uncertain terms if we are paying attention. If a cat wants to play with their favorite toy, I’m game! If a cat is skeptical about this strange new human in their space, I’ll give them all the time they need.
