Nicole was great! Very attentive with my animals and was very responsive! I loved the pics she would take to make me feel good that my animals were taken care of! I will definitely use her again!

Nicole is an excellent dog sitter. She did a great job with my dogs. She kept me informed, took excellent care of them. Gave them their medicine the 3 times a day. Washed the slip covers when they had accidents. She even filled my hummingbird and bird seed feeders. So, m be happier. As a matter of fact, when I came home last night and walked through the door, my dogs were disappointed it was me and not Nicole.

I wouldn't be able to go on vacations or attend work events if I didn't have Nicole to care for my dogs. She's looked after them from 3-9 days. She's attentive, punctual, responsive, informative and caring. Prior to Nicole I boarded the dogs with their vet. The difference in coming home to my dogs now versus then is night and day. They are no longer anxious, unsettled and they don't take 2-3 days to come back to being themselves. She's the best!!

House Sitting • Jun 11, 2026

Nicole is a regular for drop-in visits with our pup and geriatric cat, and recently stayed in our home with them for a week. She continues to be amazing with not only them, but the rest of our furry gang. She kept us updated that everyone was ok and made sure we got cute pics. I left some instructions for meds for the cat and cleaning supplies in the event that there were any accidents. A spare bedroom was made up and lots of fresh towels, and it was a successful week! I’m forever grateful for Nicole and her connection with our furbabies!

Nicole was great caring for my rambunctious Labradoodle teenagers. When they destroyed a bird nest she rescued 3 hatchlings and cared for them - warming and feeding every hour. She sent pictures several days later showing 3 hungry open beaks looking to be fed! I'm so sorry she plans to relocate as she is "One in a Million!"
