Hi there! My name is Nicole, and I have over 7 years of experience caring for animals. I am extremely qualified in pet care, as I have worked at a Veterinary Hospital and Doggie Daycare for 3+ years and have many happy housesitting clients back home. I am great with any breeds, or species, and will quickly form a strong bond with your pet. I am trained in medication and insulin administration, among many other useful skills such as CPR and seizure monitoring. Additionally, I have experience in grooming services such as bathes, nail trims, and anal gland expressions. I believe I can provide the best care and the most fun for your pet. I have very flexible hours this summer to spend getting to know your fur-baby! I am willing to negotiate with your schedule and please feel free to reach out if there are any last-minute occasions! As forewarning, in June and July there are several weeks I will be in Delaware and then later in Columbus, to take care of my regular clients. My main concern in care for animals is their comfort. As soon as I arrive at a client's home, I greet their animal and tend to their needs, whether it is a nice, long walk, or scooping their litter box. I know that it can sometimes be a stressful experience for pets to miss their parents, and I reduce those sentiments through walks, play, scratches, brushing, or just simply cuddling. I know that not every animal plays or gives affection in the same manner, and I pride myself in discovering what your pet's favorite past time is. My happiness is dependent upon your pet's happiness. Additionally, I am willing to work with you in terms of pricing, please contact me if you have any questions at all!
