Highlights
Pet care experience
Here for you, in memory of mine
Hi, I’m Nicole! After 14 amazing years with my own dog, I’ve found real joy in caring for other pets like they’re my own. I work from home 4 out of 5 weekdays, which means your pet will have tons of company, attention, and love. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just hanging out, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and part of the family—plus, there are always treats on hand!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was great!! She listened to all our instructions and treated Jeff like her own and sent lots of photo updates!
Nicole is the best! Our dog Kippa loves going with Nicole and we continue to feel at ease whenever she does :)
Nicole is just the best! We have left our pup with her several times now, and always feel like she is in the best hands. Nicole is communicative, sends plenty of pics and updates, and goes out of her way to ensure everything goes smoothly! A gem of a pet sitter and person!
Nicole was amazing!! Thank you so much for taking care of our Janet. Would love to have her stay with you again in the future
Nicole was a great sitter for Kylo! I got lots of picture and video updates and could tell Kylo was well loved! Would definitely want Nicole to watch Kylo again.
For our first time using rover, Nicole was better than we could have hoped for a day care sitter! she communicated well and sent many updates throughout our puppy Rory's stay. She also showed genuine interest and care in Rory's needs to make sure she had what she needed.

Schedule
Your pet will be well taken care of. For high-energy pups, I plan active playtime and structured walks to keep them engaged. For pets with special needs, I provide a calm, attentive environment with personalized care, medication if needed, and lots of love. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I’ll be there every step of the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with structured routines and regular attention. In a client’s home, I follow your pet’s usual schedule closely to minimize disruption and maintain consistency. Whether it’s feeding, exercise, medication, or downtime, I ensure your pet receives dependable, attentive care in a familiar or well-managed setting.
A typical day
I tailor activities to your pet’s needs and energy level. For playful or active pets, we’ll enjoy walks, indoor games, and visits to nearby Wicker Park for fresh air and stimulation. I also use toys, treat puzzles, and basic training exercises to keep them mentally engaged. For more mellow pets, I provide cozy relaxation time, gentle play, and one-on-one attention.
