I will make sure to follow your instructions on when and how to feed your pet. They will be taken for at least two walks a day - one during the day and one at night. I am also able to easily crate your pet if you would like me to do so. Additionally, I will play with them throughout the day to keep them entertained. I am committed to leaving your home in the same condition as when I first arrived. This means that I will clean up any and all messes, including accidents. Furthermore, I am happy to water your plants, collect your mail, or any other tasks you may need me to do.

Information Nicole F. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of the following: - Special needs or disabilities your pet has that I can account for, and directions you would like me to follow to cater to their needs - Any medications your pet may be taking, including when and how to administer it (I have experience with oral medication, but may need additional instructions for other forms) - Any triggers your pet may have on walks or in the house - Any specific training you would like me to reinforce throughout walks, visits and/or stays

A typical day

I will ensure that your pet receives ample exercise during the day by taking them on long walks around the neighborhood and providing indoor and outdoor playtime with their favorite toys. In case of boarding or house sitting, I also bring along puzzle treat dispensers to keep your pet mentally stimulated and prevent boredom.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Nicole. I have been taking care of pets for most of my life. Growing up, I trained and took care of my own Boston Terrier up until his passing. At age 12, I also began pet sitting and walking for neighbors. I am able to take care of special needs pets if given instructions, senior pets and am comfortable walking pets who pull.

Nicole was wonderful with our cats. She was attentive to their behavior and feeding, and good about letting us know when she'd be seeing them. The cats (Rufus especially) trusted her right away and looked forward to her visits.

This is my second time booking with Nicole to care for my two kitties while I'm out of town! She's great with keeping me updated with pics and I know they're getting great attention and love from her each day.

Nicole was great. She took good care of my boy and wrote detailed summaries of her visits which were much appreciated
