I have three cats of my own which are not dog friendly so I am not able to accept any pets in my own home.

Information Nicole F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I appreciate it when owners let me know their pets special quirks and normal routine ahead of time.

A typical day

I enjoy hiking and going for long walks around the neighborhood and in the Santa Teresa foothills and will never say no to going to a park to play so you can be sure your dog will get plenty of exercise!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Nicole and I love cats and dogs! I had both growing up and have dog and house sat many times for friends. I graduated from Pepperdine University in 2020 and am now working as a Physical Therapist. My goal is to make your dog as happy as possible as I meet their needs, treating them with the same love and attention that I show my own animals. I love being outdoors and going on hikes and long walks so I'm pretty good at tiring out even the most energetic dogs. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

Nicole was great and made sure Simba ate all his food! I greatly appreciate her care.

Nicole F. cared for our cats while we were away. The cats were safe and the house was in good condition when we returned. I would have appreciated more interaction with the cats and more detailed communication during the stay. Some care instructions, like litter disposal, weren’t always followed, and while a few photos were shared, I wasn’t always clear on how frequently medication and outdoor feeding were handled, both of which were added services. Overall, things went okay, but there’s room for improvement in communication and engagement.

Nicole was amazing! My dog takes time getting used to new people but he immediately liked Nicole and she made sure he was taken care of while I was away. 10/10 recommend :)
