Pet care experience

Reliable and Passionate Care

Having grown up with many animals, I have a genuine love for providing pets with care, attention, and the compassion they deserve. I am dependable, responsible and empathetic to the needs of animals. I understand the importance of keeping pets in a routine to maintain their heath and happiness. My goal is to provide your pet with compassionate care and help the pet owner ease the anxiety that comes with having to leave their pet for any length of time.

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently not offering care services from my home. I feel that most animals thrive when sticking to familiar surroundings and routines. I aim to leave the condition of your home as is or improved upon by my visit. Shoes off, Paws wiped clean, etc.

Nicole is always the first person I ask to watch my dog Gus when I’m out of town. I think he loves her more than me lol. He’s always so happy to see her and she takes the best care of him. I know I never have to worry when she’s there. I’ve had other people watch him before but there’s always something that comes up. Other people in house as well as accidents. Just wish she can watch him all the time she’s the only one I trust!

Nicole is an awesome and trustworthy pet caregiver! She watched my dog in Valparaiso, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my pet was in such loving and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their furry family members! 🐾❤️

Nicole did an excellent job caring for my pets while I was away. She sent updates and truly seems to enjoy looking after them. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!

Nicole has been watching my two cats for several years now whenever we are out of town. She takes very good care of them and not only feeds them and makes sure they have plenty of water, but she also spends time playing with them. She loves to give them treats!!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about our dog sitter, Nicole. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog was happy, comfortable, loved, and incredibly well cared for. Her communication, reliability, and genuine love for our dog gave us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. We would recommend her to anyone and will absolutely use her again!
