Pet care experience

Trusted Care for Happy Pets

Hi! I’m a 22 year old recent graduate from Cal Poly. I’m a dedicated pet lover and used to have a dachshund of my own, so I know how important it is to leave your pet in good hands. I’ve spent a lot of time pet sitting for friends/family, and I always make it a priority to keep pets comfortable, active, and loved. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I’m here to help!

Nicole is amazing with pets! She’s watched my dog multiple times and I always feel completely at ease leaving them with her. She’s super responsible, communicative, and you can tell she genuinely loves animals. She makes sure my dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and I always come back to a happy, well taken care of pup. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I have a fenced backyard where pets can safely spend time outside, and I always supervise outdoor time. I make sure pets get regular walks, exercise, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. During walks, I keep dogs on a secure leash with properly fitted collars or harnesses, stay aware of our surroundings, and avoid unsafe or overly busy areas. I adjust each walk to your pet’s energy level and make sure they stay comfortable and safe. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow all routines and instructions to keep your pet feeling secure and well cared for.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and engaged! I like to start with a walk (or some playtime if they prefer staying in), followed by feeding and making sure they’re settled and relaxed. Throughout the day, I’ll check in often, give them plenty of attention, and keep their routine as close to normal as possible. For fun, I love going on walks, playing fetch, or just spending time giving them lots of love and attention. If your pet is more low-key, I’m happy to hang out, cuddle, or keep them company so they feel safe while you’re away. I always adjust activities based on your pet’s personality and energy level!

Before watching your pet, I like to know a few important details to make sure I give them the best care possible. This includes their daily routine (feeding times, walks, etc.), any medical needs or medications, and their behavior around people, other animals, or on walks. It’s also super helpful to know their personality—whether they’re more energetic or laid-back, any triggers or fears, and what they enjoy most. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while you’re away!
