Nicole is a very easy going, pleasant, and kind person. She has watched our golden retriever two times and is scheduled to watch him again this summer. She has a way with animals. Wrigley is very spoiled and Nicole follows his spoiled ways. She is perceptive and follows non verbal cues knowing how to win an animals trust. She has a calming energy that makes animals feel safe and comfortable. She is respectful of boundaries knowing when to give the animal space and when to interact. She communicates with the owner so you are aware of how your pet is doing. She attends to all the animals needs. All in all she takes great care of our dog and I would highly recommend her as a dog sitter.
