Pet care experience

🐾 Eastern Chick 🐾

Hi! I am a stay at home mom in the Chattanooga, TN area that would love to care for your pets! I have been caring for friend's and family's pets since I was nine years old, from a rat named Hershey's to a Dogo Argentino named Snoopy (fish, cats, lizards, and chickens as well). I myself have had many pets since being a child including my current snuggly senior Pug, Chloe and a gregarious French Bulldog, Lilo. I have cared for all age pets from puppies/kittens to seniors. I have had my own litters, and helped others with their fur babies from basic training, walking, overnight care, and administering basic first aid and prescription medicine. Everyone that enters my home is considered family, including their pets! I would love to invite your little (or large) loved one(s) into my home to be loved and cared for.

We had an amazing experience leaving our 2 dogs with Nicole. We got regular updates and photos/videos. Our dogs looked very happy and comfortable in them. It seemed the whole family made our pups a part of their life and routine while we were away. We were super relaxed on our trip knowing the fur babies are doing good.

Nicole is very thorough, reads all my instructions and follows everything in the notes. She is always very communicative, and my dogs look so happy in the drop in pics, I can tell they like her and are comfortable with her! Will happily call on Nicole in the future.

Nicole is a wonderful, quick communicator. She understood all my instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond with videos and pictures to make sure my mind could be at ease. Very happy with her as a sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I take impeccable care of both my pets and others, not only are they loved but they have a schedule they can rely on. When caring for pets in other's homes, I believe it is most important to treat their pets and home with total respect and detailed care. I also love to send photos/videos so pet parents can be rest assured that their pets are being lovingly cared for. I live on an acre with a fully fenced yard (six feet) for the pups to go in off leash and run around and play. I take time to slowly introduce pups so they can be comfortable with one another to play and socialize during their stay with me. I ask that you bring anything you feel will make their stay more comfortable for them treats, toys, bed, crate if they sleep in one, etc. I try to keep their stay with me as close to their home life in order to keep them on schedule and less stressful for them during their stay with me.
