Experienced pet sitter!

Pet care experience

*Celiac, dairy and egg allergy safe* I am a mom to a shepherd rescue and a previously feral cat, as well as many plants. I have been pet sitting for 9 years, but have had pets my entire life. I am now settled into my career, and just looking for some ways to earn some extra cash and hang out with some cuties. Comfortable with dogs and cats, and willing to learn about critters (I have so far taken care of a hamster and fish). I am actively involved with multiple dog rescues, as both a foster, volunteer, and was previously a foster coordinator. I have experience with bathing, walking, playing, feeding, administering medications (both oral and injections), and providing daily groomings and upkeep of the animals and homes. I am currently learning hand signals in order to care for deaf dogs. I am willing to travel to most areas within Winnipeg Drop-ins: dogs get a 15-30 minute walk, less time if they are being fed or brushed. Cats get fed, litter-box cleaned each visit and play time. I recommend a minimum of 2 1-hour visits per day for dogs House sitting: I will follow your normal routine as closely as possible. Outside time as needed. Litter box or puppy pad clean up at least once per day. *while house sitting I can work around all common allergies to ensure you and your family are safe* For any stays booked after April 7 2023, there will be a $10 fee for key pick-up/drop-off. To avoid paying this fee, lock boxes are recommended.

My babies received amazing care from Nicole as always. Not sure what we’ll do if she ever retires from this side gig! We sure appreciate you Nicole!

Nicole was great with our hyper dog and cat. She was super attentive and sent us regular updates. Much appreciated. We would book her again!

Nicole was great! We were weary of having someone watch our pet but saw her reviews and decided to give it a try. We were very pleased. She came over to meet with our big boy before the day and was very kind and friendly. She took great care of our boy and sent many pictures of him. We will definitely be using her services again.
