Highlights
Pet care experience
Loved like they’re my own!
Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember because of the unconditional love, joy, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’ve also had cats, and to me, they’re all family—not just pets. ❤️🐾 Now that my children are grown and I no longer have pets of my own, caring for other people’s beloved fur babies has become something I truly enjoy. I give each dog my full attention, patience, affection, and TLC. Whether they’re young, senior, shy, recovering, or a cherished show dog, I care for each one according to their individual needs and personality. I also administer pills if needed as well. When your dog stays with me, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved—just like they’re at home. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your fur baby is being cared for as one of my own. I’m a mature, honest, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter. I don’t smoke, drink, or have visitors. I’m also a homeowner so I’ll take good care of you house n pets just as I would with mine. I also take in the mail, making sure the pool man/gardener come in time, and taking garbage out. I leave minimal footprint at your house because i like to leave the place as clean or cleaner than when i left it. I provide services to the following areas: Roseville, Fair Oaks, Folsom, and El Dorado Hills. I’m happy to provide excellent references from pet parents who have trusted me with their beloved companions. I do take care of small dogs (1:1 only!) at my house too if you like drop-in services. Please message me.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nicole has been my pet and house sitter for the past 10 years, and I can honestly say she is best! I had a hard time leaving my dogs and hadn't gone on vacation since I had them. I would never leave them with anyone else!!! I have 2 small dogs who absolutely adore her, and I trust her completely — she’s like a member of our family. She’s reliable, responsible, and incredibly trustworthy. While I’m away, she provides daily updates and photos of my pups, which gives me such peace of mind. Nicole goes above and beyond by watering my plants, collecting my mail, deliveries & newspapers. She ensures the garbage and recycling are taken care of, letting the dogs out, and spending time playing and give them lots of love and attention. I used to have a cat and I know she’s wonderful with cats too. I highly highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter. I never have to worry about my pets or my home when she’s taking care of them. I never thought I could have such please of mind while I'm away.
We have been using Nicole to watch our home and dogs for several years. We have the utmost trust in her to take care of the dogs and our house. She is completely reliable and trustworthy. Most importantly, she loves our dogs. We have a smaller terrier and a larger dog. She handles both without any problems. We highly recommend Nicole!

Schedule
I’m retired so i have a lot of time for dogs/cats sitting…:). I’m available 7 days/week. This is the thing that I enjoy doing most. This also allows me to get my pet fix…lol..:). I really enjoy taking care of pets (dogs or cats) as though they’re my own whether at my house ( I live in a condo and we have grassy areas throughout the complex) or at your house.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My goal is have them feel like I’m just another family member. I feed, play, and walk with them. I also check mail, bring packages in, and water the plants at your home.
A typical day
I love to sit n cuddle with your pets. I also love to take walks with your dogs/cats around my condo complex. I also enjoy playing games with them as well and make sure that they know they’re loved!
