Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly Neighborhood Dog Lover!
I've always had dogs in my life. I grew up with smaller dogs in my family, but when I moved off to college I didn't have as much time around them. It honestly took a minor toll on my mental health, because I actually believe dogs are the key to happiness. Once I moved to Arlington and my roommate had a dog (a medium sized), I knew I needed to surround myself with more. And what better way to get to know the community than to take care of the most important part of it!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m hosting your pet at my home or caring for them in yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. My own space is fully pet-proofed, safe, and secure for hosting, while in your home, I treat your property with absolute respect, adhering strictly to your house rules, routine, and security preferences. On walks and during yard play, I stay 100% focused on your pet - maintaining a secure grip on the leash, monitoring weather and pavement conditions, and actively avoiding potential hazards or unfamiliar dogs. Building trust starts with clear, reliable communication. I make a point to send frequent updates and photos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. From double-checking fence latches to keeping strict safety routines, I take every precaution to give you complete peace of mind while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole took amazing care of both my cat and dog while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She made sure they got plenty of walks, lots of attention, and treated them like they were her own. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. My only complaint? I think my pets were almost disappointed when I came home because they had such a great time with Nicole! If you're looking for someone who's reliable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals, I can't recommend her enough.
Nicole is fantastic! She is extremely friendly and personable, she takes the time to learn about my dog and his needs and does a great job loving him! I would definitely recommend her to anyone! 10/10!

Schedule
Working remotely gives me the incredible flexibility to make pet care a seamless part of my day. While I work a standard 9-to-5 schedule, my job allows me to easily step away from my desk whenever needed. Whether that means taking your dog out for a mid-day potty break, going on an afternoon walk to burn off some energy, or giving a cat some quality cuddle time, I can accommodate your pet’s exact routine without delay. When I take on a pet sitting commitment, that work becomes my top priority. My flexible remote setup means I’m present, attentive, and available throughout the day - giving your pets the companionship and supervision they need so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away.
