Loving and Safe Pet Sitter

I love all animals and have been called an "animal whisperer." Cats are admittedly my favorite. My education is in Medicine (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from Michigan State University, 2010) and Psychology (B.S. in Psychology from Wayne State University, 2004), and taking care of pets brings me joy. I am married and I have two children and we all love being around animals. I currently work for myself and as an independent contractor, so I have quite a bit of flexibility in my schedule to come and care for your pets. I offer a drop-in service to care for your pet(s) in your own home. I understand the benefit of this service and how important it is to have someone you know who will provide excellent care for your pets, and also respect your home. I will care for both your pet(s) and your home as I do my own.

I couldn’t be happier to have Nicole take care of my pups once again. She gives me all the peace of knowing my girls are in the best of hands. My time away is much more relaxed with the assurance of all the cuddles, love, and playtime from her and her family when they join her on her visits to my home.

Nicole is amazing! She had a great rapport with our dog, who loved her. We knew he was in good hands while we were out of town. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter, and she went above and beyond to make our dog happy. We appreciated her strong communication skills when it came to informing us about check-ins, photos, videos, and visit summaries. I would recommend her to anyone seeking 5 star, loving care for a pet.

This wasn’t the first time Nicole has taken care of my pups and it won’t be the last. She and her family LOVE my dogs and take care of them like royalty. A sure sign that my dogs are well cared for is shown in the videos and photos she sends each visit, which gives me great peace of mind. I can’t brag on Nicole enough. Five stars is an underrated score in my opinion! We need a different rating system for her!
