Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with all types of needs from pets. Happy to take out for walks/potty breaks and a snuggle if that's what they need. My dog is quite tricky so I know how to deal with all different types of temperament.

Information Nicole G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and if they have any routines they like, favorite toys or treats. Also, any instructions on how much to feed for check ins and where common supplies for them are stored!

A typical day

I love to give dogs time to smell on their walks because an active mind is just as tiring as their physical movement! For cats, I like to let them determine whether they want to play or snuggle.

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of animals since I was in high school, caring for my neighbors' cats and our family dog. I have experience coordinating multiple drop ins for cats when their families are out of town, including feeding, changing litter, and playing with them or cuddling if they like it. I grew up with a family dog that I help feed, bathe, walk, and care for and now have my own dog, a 3 year old Chiweenie. I'm used to different personalities in dogs and cats and am able to handle both crazy puppy energy and cool/calm/collected. I can administer pill, ear, or liquid medication and am familiar with different dietary restrictions that might be necessary for your pet. I love interacting with animals and I can't wait to help you and your fur baby!

Nicole was so awesome with our kitties! She did everything as promised and we're so grateful that we were able to leave our fur babies in her care while we were gone. We didn't worry about anything and that is a big deal when you're traveling at the holidays! I highly recommend Nicole!
