Information Nicole F. would like to know about your pet

I have over 25 years of experience in conventional and holistic veterinary medicine, fear free certification, training in animal massage, certified in animal CPR, and passionate about hospice and end of life transition. Your dog's behavior at home, routine, schedule, and health history are learned and taken into consideration by me at each visit.

A typical day

I love the outdoors and enjoy taking your dog on the many trails Sarasota has to offer. Being in nature stimulates your pets' senses as well as releases energy trapped in the body, easing anxiety from being separated from their people and exercising their hearts keeping them healthy. I can promise to keep your dog physically active and also love them as my own. If your pet prefers neighborhood strolls and casual movement, I will ensure their safety and comfort.

Nicole and her family are fantastic! Nicole is warm, loving, caring, shared pictures with us throughout the day which we absolutely loved and Lola couldn’t be happier staying with her. She’s also very responsive and we felt Lola was in great hands, very safe. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Nicole!

Nicole, watched my sweet Sadie girl for me while I was on vacation. There aren't many people I would trust with my little one but Nicole is one of them! Sadie loved her SOOO much. She's always been one with animals. I would recommend her to watch your pet 1000 times over.

Nicole is amazing! If you are are looking for someone to care for your pets like they are her own look no further. Nicole has almost 2 decades of experience pet sitting/walking and has an extensive education and clinical experience as a vet tech. So if your pets need medications or have special medical needs Nicole can take care of it all. I have a senior pup and a dog with seizures. I would not hesitate to leave them in Nicole’s loving care. She is also super easy to talk too and very reasonable with her pricing. We hope you love her as much as we do!

Nicole has been my pet sitter since I moved to Sarasota 13 years ago. I HIGHLY recommend Nicole. She is very dependable and reliable. I have never had an instance when she was not available to pet sit for my cats. She is a real animal lover, and has developed a relationship with the four different cats that I have had over the years. She is very considerate of my home and often leaves it in better shape than I left it. Aside from that, Nicole is a really lovely person. If you choose Nicole, you won’t regret it.
