Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Fur Friend’s new Best Friend!
Hi, I’m Nicole! Over the past five years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets, and it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience. I believe pets are family, and finding the right person to look after them while you’re away is crucial. I take this responsibility seriously and approach every pet with the same love and care I give to my own.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my own home or yours, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each pet and their owner. Having navigated different living situations—from sharing space with roommates to renting on my own—I understand the importance of respecting each individual’s specific needs and preferences. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment with ample space for play and relaxation. My own pets are accustomed to a structured routine, which helps me provide a consistent experience for any visiting pets. I maintain a clean and pet-friendly space, ensuring that every pet feels at ease. In your home, I focus on maintaining the familiar routines and surroundings that keep your pets comfortable. I follow any specific instructions you provide and adapt to your pet's habits and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and loved. My experience has equipped me with the skills to accommodate a variety of needs, whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medication, or providing extra attention and care. Overall, my goal is to seamlessly integrate into your pet’s routine and environment, delivering high-quality care that meets and exceeds your expectations.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole has house sat my Great Dane on 2 separate occasions the most recent being a week long trip, she’s been reliable and communicative. My Dane loves her, I’d definitely recommend.
Nicole took great care of our three dogs, and was especially patient and kind with our most anxious dog. We were traveling out of town just ahead of a winter storm, and Nicole kindly offered to stay with our boys a few extra days, making a stressful situation so much less so. When we finally did get home, our house was very tidy, and we could just really feel the thoughtfulness that Nicole brought to her stay. Would definitely rebook again.
Nicole was great ! We got updates each day with pictures and she brought in mail & packages while we were gone and cleaned up after herself when she left. Our cats seemed very content when we returned home.
My pets loved Nicole. She is a really sweet person. She stripped the bed and everything was nice when she left. Nicole sent me pictures almost every day. She did a great job!
Reliable, communicative, great house/dogsitter.
We were very pleased with the way Nicole took care of our crew. We will definitely use her again.

Schedule
After graduating from college and moving back home to focus on my education and career, I’ve integrated pet care deeply into my daily and weekly routine. My days start with caring for my own pets, ensuring they receive their morning walks and playtime. I’ve made it a priority to be punctual and attentive, which translates into consistent and reliable care for every pet I look after. Throughout the week, I schedule dedicated times for pet sitting and dog walking, seamlessly fitting these activities around my studies and other commitments. I genuinely enjoy meeting new pets and forming bonds with them, which adds a rewarding dimension to my routine. This balance allows me to maintain a high level of care and attention, while also staying engaged with the community of pet owners and their beloved companions.

- To ensure that your pets feel as comfortable and secure as possible, it’s important for me to understand their daily schedule and routines. Please share details about their feeding times, exercise needs, preferred activities, and any special requirements they might have. This information helps me tailor my care to fit their unique needs and keep their daily routine as consistent as possible. I am committed to creating a safe and trusting environment for your pets, and I strive to make them feel comfortable and accepted. Just like us, pets thrive on routine and familiarity, so maintaining their regular schedule is a top priority. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before the care begins. This gives us a chance to discuss your pet’s needs in detail and allows your pet to get acquainted with me, making the transition smoother for everyone. Feel free to reach out with any specifics or to schedule a meeting. I look forward to providing the best care for your furry family member!
