Pet care experience

I really love dogs but who doesn't?

I truly love dogs. I grew up with dogs, volunteer at dog shelters (and cat rescue organizations) whenever possible, used to own the most dog-like cat I could find because my apartment only allowed cats, etc. I happen to be an excellent cat sitter, babysitter, and house sitter too. I have a small online business and a fairly flexible schedule. I would love to walk or coo or stay with your dog while you are away! I am comfortable administering meds, giving shots, monitoring special needs, and most other out of the ordinary care. Just let me know! I want you to know that your pet is comfortable and happy while you are away- I love sending photos and updates throughout the day. I have two young daughters who are 4 and 6 years old who love dogs and cats too- depending on the type of visit and if your pets are kid friendly, they would love to tag along! Take great care, thank you so much for reading! Nicole

Nicole is amazing! While we were nervous to go away, she was communicative, patient, reassuring, & loving to our four cats. We were able to have a worry-free vacation & we’re so happy to have found her.

Very grateful to Nicole for watching my two cats this past week while I was away. She did a fantastic job, and I will definitely plan to use her services again. Thank you, Nicole!!

Dog Walking • May 31, 2026

We had a great experience with Nicole. My dog warmed up to her right away, and it was clear that she understands dog behavior and knows how to build trust quickly. She was calm and gentle, and gave my dog space to settle in and feel at ease. I was visiting from out of state, and having a sitter I felt comfortable leaving my dog with allowed me to spend a day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was a highlight of my trip, and I was able to enjoy it knowing my dog was in good hands. She kept me updated throughout the walk with messages and photos. When I picked him up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable with Nicole. For a dog who usually wants to be by my side, that says a lot. I would absolutely book with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dependable sitter.

Nicole is a godsend! She took such amazing care of our cats, and I loved all of the adorable pictures she sent. I could tell my cats really enjoyed her company. She made our trip possible and made feel so at ease knowing my cats weren’t missing out on petting and loving while we were away. She also accommodated us for an additional day last minute. I can’t say enough good things, thank you so much Nicole!

House Sitting • Feb 20, 2018

Our 3 aussies were very happy to have an overnighter with Nicole. This was there first time with a new sitter and they took to her right away. And our house was tidy when we returned. What a relief.

House Sitting • Oct 27, 2017

Nicole is amazing. Professional, responsible, friendly. We had her housesit, and couldn't have asked anything more from her. She was great with the animals all week. Walking the dog just as we had asked. Sending photos. Keeping in contact. Even dealing with a power outage! And when we came home, she had stripped the bed and washed the sheets and the house was ready to go again. So happy with her.
