I work remotely, and can work from anywhere with good internet. I have no children, no current pets of my own, so I am available often, and at short notice. Leave a vacuum and mop out and I will use them, as well as cleanup after myself and do dishes, etc.

Safety, trust & environment

My pet sitting must always occur at your home, as my rental does not allow pets. If you tell me how you normally take care of them, I will do the same (maybe with some extra carrots or toys as bribery).

Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of anything you can think of to make your pet comfortable and happy! If there is anything special you do, or any rules that need to continue while you’re away. Any medications, special ways to give said medications. Anything they are or are not allowed to have. I follow your rules for your pets, definitely would make sure that if there’s no jumping allowed, then there is no jumping allowed.

A typical day

Honestly, depends on what the pets want to do…if they love playing ball, and walking we will do that, if they are lower energy or despise the snow or rain, we can play some tug of war (I always seem to lose). Lots of kitty wand expertise! As well as respecting kitty boundaries (pets, no pets, whatever you want kitten).

Caring for your pets at home 🩷

Pet care experience

I take care of your pets where they feel safest, in their home. I can be there 24/7 (minus grocery runs) to ensure your pet(s) are cared for and you’re able to enjoy your trip! I have been doing this for friends and friends of friends for 12 years, and lost my own dog in 2019 (13.5 years, due to an inoperable tumor). I love taking care of animals, and am not allowed animals in my rental, so instead I pet sit animals in their own environment. They are usually much more at peace this way, and are much less stressed about their hoomans being gone.

Nicole did an outstanding job with our dog Brooklyn. She stayed in our home which was a better situation for Brooklyn! All Brooklyn’s meds were given and updates with pictures of Brooklyn were sent! She didn’t even miss us and loved her time with Nicole! I will use Nicole again in the future she is an outstanding dog sitter!!!

Nicole is a fabulous, tried and true pet sitter! We use her every time we go out of town. We have two dogs that each have different needs. Both have complicated feeding regimes. They both have separation anxiety which is why we require an in home pet sitter. We allow our dogs to sleep on the bed and she has no issue with that. She really loves animals and they love her. I leave annoyingly lengthy notes for their care not to mention all of my plants as well with no complaints. She follows all of our directions and checks in with us regularly. We trust her completely. I would highly recommend her services!

Nicole is an amazing pet & house sitter! She cared for my feral dogs, cats & chickens for a couple of weeks while we were out of town. I never once worried about our mini zoo! She sent lots of pictures & is also very communicative. I honestly think our pets were disappointed when we got home because they got so much love & snuggles while in Nicoles care!
