Your Fur-Baby's New Best Friend

Pet care experience

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!

Nicole is amazing with my dog Wilson! She’s very reliable and I feel so comfortable leaving him with her.

Nicole has been amazing with our 7 month old puppy! She communicates at least twice a day with how he is doing with pictures! She is attentive to how his energy level is and adjusts however my puppy needed. I feel comfortable that my puppy is safe and cared for just how I would. Highly recommended.

Nicole has been absolutely wonderful when watching my 2 dogs! She provides detailed updates, many photos, and was flexible when my travel plans had to be adjusted. She is always prompt to respond, and I trust that my pups are in great care when she watches them!

Information Nicole F. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me prior to my arrival of any injuries, ailments, medications, or reactivity issues your pet has. I wish to provide the best care possible and while I am experienced in all cases from DOAs, seizures, dog fights and attacks, choking, to even constipation, I would appreciate communication regarding medical history so I can be more prepared any contingencies.

A typical day

I love getting to know pets, and I quickly adjust and accommodate their interests. I first determine what excites your pup and how to make the best of their time. For my more high energy clients, I will run with them and play until they are ready to settle down. On the contrary, the elderly animals I take after are much more happier receiving belly rubs and cuddles and a nice peanut butter Kong.
