Pet care experience

Feline fanatic and small dog lover

(*Please be a smoke-free home for overnights - unfortunately I get asthmatic and have very bad physical reactions to smoke*) I've cared for my sister's dog while she is on vacation, and have several years caring for animals. Part-time, I care for 2 Jack Russell's and a Shorkie - the owners would be happy to recommend my services. I own a cat Allie, and she is treated like a queen, as should be any animal I would be caring for. Animals deserve the greatest love, attention and affection, and I consider them such a high priority. I have a semi flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to devote to the care of your fur babies, in your home, and while you are away. In the Meet & Greet, I will listen very intently for your animal (s) needs, and take detailed instruction on leash requirements, procedures, special requests, etc. Thank you, Nicole (Nicki)

I can accommodate your needs for overnight stays, medicines, play. While I prefer a fenced yard, I can accommodate on a leash if we are not going too far.

Nichole was great! Olive has very Happy. I was going to have her come over in a couple weeks to let Olive out, however, my neighbor said they would do it for me. I will definitely keep her in mind when making other travel plans!

Nicole was awesome. She was quick to respond when I was looking for someone to cat/house sit. I had peace of mind while I was away. Would definitely rehire again. Appreciate that she asked questions up front so that everything was covered ahead of time. Thank you Nicole!

Nicole sat for our dog, Farley. She was incredibly reliable and prompt to when communicating. She provided updates to us regarding Farley and we can tell how much was enjoying his time with Nicole. We recommend Nicole 100% and will for sure be reaching out to her again when we need someone to take care of Farley.

Schedule

I am self-employed and therefore, flexible. I do watch my 3 doggies from 10:30-2:30 Monday through Friday, but otherwise have roughly 10 hours of drafting plans for an Architect. Those hours are also, quite flexible.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Nicole can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
While I have cared for large dogs, my preference is small or medium (not mandatory). No pit bulls, however. While I don't like the liability of leashes and walks, it is negotiable. I have made exceptions! Thanks.
