Friends call me the dog whisperer

My dog was a rescue with severe anxiety which we overcame with love and patience. In his senior years, I became adept at giving meds and dealing with his hearing loss and age-related issues. I have fostered multiple dogs through the years, all with different personalities and temperaments.

House Sitting • may. 17, 2026

Nicole was wonderful with our quirky dog Piper, Piper loved Kismet and was super sad after we got home. We were gone for 16 days and she took such good care of Piper and the house. Was great with updates, I would highly recommend Nicole, she has such a calm demeanor, she was made for this!!

Nicole was absolutely AMAZING with our babies, Ren and Enzo. She sent lots of updates and pictures throughout our pups stay at her place. Ren warmed up to Nicole so quickly and looked so cozy in every single picture. Although our boy Enzo had a bit of anxiety, Nicole did so amazing at getting him to settle in and making him as comfortable as possible. I HIGHLY recommend Nicole as your pet sitter. I was finally able to fully enjoy my trip knowing that my babies were well taken care of. Thank you x100000 Nicole!

This is Miko’s second visit with Nicole and he absolutely loves her. She continues to keep me abreast of updates and is focused on giving him special attention and care. I felt he was safe with her!

Was the fist time we were boarding our dog since we moved to Houston; we liked the fact that Nicole offered a meet&greet before booking to ensure she was the right fit for our dog. She sent daily updates and pictures and it seems the dog was having good time while with her. Can definitely recommend Nicole if you need a pet sitter in the area.

I do have a small chihuahua/terrier mix at home. She is dog friendly but will require a meet and greet for compatibility. I have a private fenced back patio and beautiful green space around my home for lots of walks!
