Pet care experience

over the top dog-loving caretaker.

As a child being raised by a marine who trained dogs for the military I had the honors of experiencing a loving connection for dogs. My childhood Belgium Shepherd was my first love. At 18 having to let her go it was very difficult for me and I bought 2 toy poodles. Bella and Chloe. They were my children. I haven’t been able to commit to buying a puppy yet because I’m indecisive of what I want and my healing process has been hard with the loss of them. I started dog sitting a little over 5 years ago since then. Dogs always love me and the energy I present. I love dog sitting because it fulfills my heart to comfort them while they are away from their owners. I pay close attention to the ones that have separation anxiety and make sure they feel the comfort they need. making sure that they are assured that they are safe by doing things like (If approved by the owner; I will always ask questions like this in the beginning of the relationship built up with your dog), Making sure they have a toy, some treats, and sometimes if needed on the TV, whether it anxiety doggy music or simply them watching other animals on the TV to distract them until they start to feel comfortable. When the weather is nice i like to make sure they get a lot fresh air and staying active. Treating yours like my own is what it’s all about and I can assure you will be happy with my genuineness in that even though it is work in my eyes, it’s therapeutic.

Nicole was great with Pepper on my recent last minute stay. Really was so sweet and cute with her. Very accommodating. Lots of pictures and feedback throughout the trip.

My baby had a better vacation than we did! I’m so happy to be comfortable knowing she was treated with such love. ❤️. I’d use her and recommend her ANY TIME.

You will feel so comfortable and at ease knowing Nicole is giving all the love, affection, and most importantly, the attention to your pets while you are away. She goes ABOVE & BEYOND so effortlessly, I never have to stress when I am away, my dogs are practically leaping over her with excitement as soon as she’s coming through the door! Nicole is by far the most trustworthy, honest, detailed, responsible and reliable person I’ve ever had the pleasure meeting. She’s a true fairy God Dog Mother & you will NOT be disappointed when you hire her. I don’t know what we would do without her!

House Sitting • May 21, 2024

Nicole did an amazing job looking after our three BIG dogs while we were away for a long weekend. She kept them on their schedule and anxiety free. I’m pretty sure my Husky Cooper fell in love 😍 🐾. I appreciated all the photos and videos and contact. I know my pups are a handful. But I had no worries. I would absolutely ask Nicole to stay with them again (I think Cooper will insist upon it).

Schedule

I’m currently working from home and have a lot of free time because I can send my emails whenever I need to. I am not on a set schedule while working at home. I feel now is the perfect time to fill my time with dog sitting because with my open schedule, I will be able to be more flexible. I have more options to help.

Safety, trust & environment

*If your dog requires special needs like one on one sitting ( no other dogs around/ schedule blocked off to accommodate your pup only) I will work with you depending on the situation* - I charge the prices I do due to the upmost care guaranteed. Daily photos/videos, long walks, extra love and care. Along with updates on their behaviors, which includes noticing separation anxiety and addressing the situation to reassure your pup is safe, lack of eating, etc. I live at home by myself. I have a big open apartment. I do allow the pets on the furniture, if they are allowed to by the owners. I’m very open-minded to what pet needs so I feel as though this would be based on Client to Client of how you would like your dog to be and how the environment to be.

A typical day

On a typical day of dog sitting, I start by greeting my furry guests with a warm smile and lots of belly rubs. We kick off the day with a leisurely walk in the park, where the dogs get to explore new scents and stretch their legs. Back at home, we engage in fun activities like playing fetch, learning new tricks, and enjoying interactive toys. I make sure to provide plenty of cuddles and treats throughout the day to keep the dogs happy and content. As the day winds down, we relax together, watching a movie or snuggling up for bedtime stories. Every moment spent with these adorable companions brings joy and laughter, making each day of dog sitting a memorable and fulfilling experience.
