The love I have for dogs is endless

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Nicole, and a recent college graduate from Fordham University, with my bachelor’s psychology. I’m currently working for my Master’s at John Jay’s Forensic Psychology program. I’ve had a love for dogs since I was in kindergarten, and actually adopted my own puppy when she was only 5 months old. She’s an adult now and is my whole world! I love keeping her entertained, cuddling with her, and taking her on walks. I’ve also helped my dad in raising his puppy beginning at 8 weeks, and assisted in walks, training, and dog sitting while he was at work. I’ve had experience with dogs of all sizes and ages when it comes to pet sitting and dog walking. Additionally, when I’m on school breaks, I work part time at a pet boutique that specializes in all natural treats, sturdy toys, and the cutest clothing and accessories. I love being outside - even if it’s raining - and wouldn’t mind walking your pup. I look forward to giving your dog the best! Thank you!

Nicole did an amazing job with Archie! She played with him nonstop for hours and sent us tons of picture and text updates to let us know he was doing great. She was super communicative and very respectful of our home, and Archie loved her.

This was our first house sitting experience, and I’m so glad we chose Nicole! She was prompt, communicative, and clearly a dog lover. Nicole sent us adorable pictures and kept my dog busy and well exercised. It was evident my dog had an amazing time as when she saw Nicole after the stay she expressed a true bonded response with doggy kisses and jumpy hugs. Big relief to have found Nicole on our first weekend away!

Wonderful sitter for a fussy cat and a sick dog on such short notice. Communication was frequent and made us feel really comfortable about our choice. Highly recommended!

Nicole was absolutely amazing watching my 5 month old puppy! She was on time, communicative and sent plenty of pictures and videos. This was the first time leaving my puppy, so I was a little nervous, but having Nicole put me at ease and I came home to a very happy pup!

Safety, trust & environment

While dog sitting at a client’s house, I would make sure all safety precautions that are necessary are taken — whether it be a specific collar or leash, or monitoring the dog in a park or fenced in area.

Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if they have any behavioral issues, are on any medication, have any special diets, and their likes and dislikes! Additionally, if they have allergies that I need to be aware of — especially if it’s something I may carry from home to home — I’d like to know.

A typical day

Depending on what’s around you will depend on where we go on the walk. If there are any dog parks or parks in general, or favorite spots your dog likes to go let me know! I’ll keep your dog active and happy.
