We needed a last minute sitter and Nicole was great. Very responsive when I had questions. She sent photos throughout the stay. Everything was so easy. Will definitely use her again!

Nicole is terrific. She cares deeply about the animals she looks after and they clearly develop a real liking to her. She goes above and beyond. If you can get her, count yourself lucky.

Nicole was absolutely fantastic from the moment I reached out to her to see if she was available! We arranged a meet and greet for my dog to meet her dog before our trip and it went great. I even used her pick up/drop off service which was so convenient, we had a long drive back home from NYC and to have our dog already at home safe and sound when we returned was a nice peace of mind. She sent lots of pics and updates. I will DEFINITELY be using her for future stays.
