experienced animal caretaker
Pet care experience
I've had pets all my life, volunteered at the humane league and did a work exchange in Australia: feeding, caring and loving over 80 animals including chickens, cows, pigs, goats and sheep. I love all animals and have a lot of patience and understanding for all creatures. I don't mind slobber or scratches and would love to get some time outdoors with pet companions. I have respect for all and like to bond with each animal I meet, seeing them happy makes me happy. I can also take pictures of them on my DSLR camera, play or cuddle for hours and can even use my cosmetology knowledge to groom them. I miss having a dog so I would love anytime I could get with one. At the moment I am free most of the time, i don't mind working mornings or afternoons. i am available rain or shine and am willing to put in the time for quality care. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby or young child, making sure all of their needs are met and that they are happy and healthy
Reviews
Nicole is the best! My prissy lil cat warmed right up to her. She sent adorable photo/video/text updates all the time and was really communicative and easy to work with. Nicole was comfortable giving my cat her daily meds and kept the plants alive too. And our apartment was soooo tidy when we got back! After a long trip it was a delight to come home to our happy cat and fresh sheets on the bed. Thank you Nicole, we hope to book you again! 🙏
Thanks for great job
Nicole is wonderful with my dog Atticus! She is reliable and communicates in a timely manner. I appreciate her help so much with drop in visits!
Nicole is so wonderful with my two year old male dog!! We have never had anyone take care of him before but she takes such great care of him and is very sweet and kind! She is very trustworthy and communicates very well! I definitely recommend her to anyone looking to have there furry baby taken care of ☺️
