Pet care experience

Reliable & experienced pet lover

I am a lover of all animals and have spent my free time volunteering with community animals for many years. I’ve fostered countless kittens, volunteered with the humane society to walk and socialize shy dogs, and am especially passionate about caring for neonatal puppies and kittens, which I’ve received special training to do. I’ve taken dog and cat handling classes through the humane society and animal welfare department and feel confident connecting with new animals. I would be overjoyed to give your pet some love!

Nicole was very friendly and communicative, she spent time with each of my 4 pets and ensured they all received some attention. Even though my dogs need a second to warm up to new people, she was quick in problem-solving by using their toys and treats to warm them up. Very happy she was able to check-in on them while I transition into my new fully on-site position!

Nicole is very punctual and consistent! She’s great with all animals and makes them feel just as loved as her own. Would very highly recommend!

Nicole is fantastic with animals. Not only does she love them, I have never seen an animal not fall in love with her back. She has taken care of my dog when I’ve been out of town, gone out with her on walks and hikes, and played with her often. My dog absolutely loves Nicole and it’s for good reason! Nicole goes above and beyond when it comes to taking care of animals, be it her own two cutie pie cats, or her friends pets. She is a wonderful human who is wonderful with animals and I absolutely trust her to take care of my pup!

Nicole is the perfect human to snuggle and love on any animal. She has two cats that she adores and loves unconditionally. I trust her to watch over my dog, and she has faithfully done so for nearly a decade. There is, quite literally, no other human I would entrust with the well being of an animal. She's an amazing person with a huge heart. Any animal in her care would be loved, taken care of, and reluctant to leave her loving embrace.
