So thankful that Nicole was able to come last minute to care for our two cats when we had to go out of town for a family emergency. She did a great job as always!

Once again Nicole has been great, her communication and care always show. I always know that Rigatoni is in good hands while I am away. Thank you!

Nicole was amazing! We have used Rover for years, but have never had someone come to our house, so I was very anxious to start this process in general. From the messages, to the meet and greet, to the actual dog sitting, I can confidently say Nicole was an excellent choice all around. She is very communicative and personable (putting my own anxieties at ease!), sent detailed updates, was incredibly respectful of our home, and all of my kids were very happy with her. My dog is often a loud and anxious weirdo, but was excited to both meet Nicole and then have her in our home. Even my temperamental cat wanted to interact with her. We will absolutely check her availability next time we are in need. Thank you so much again, Nicole!

Nicole is amazing! She is prompt, thorough, communicative and very personable. She even offered to bring our garbage cans in from the curb. I always know Bella is in great hands while I am away.

5/5 recommend. Nicole has dropped in on Rigatoni a few times and we appreciate her every time! This visit I was worried about the heat but she checked in on the temp and assured me everything was fine. I trust Nicole to take care of Riggy while I’m away. Thank you!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am currently working full time 9-5 in the Latham area. I can do drops in before work (730 am or earlier) if scheduled ahead of time. Drop in visits during the day are possible sometimes with a shortened time. Most nights and weekends I am free to make my own schedule. I also travel around the capital region a lot, including Albany, Troy, Watervliet, Latham and surrounding areas. Don’t hesitate to reach out as I may be in your area!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I offer drop ins, walks and overnight stays with your pets in your home. I will follow the guidelines you lay out, as you know what is best for your pet. I am also a very clean person and will respect your home and always clean up after myself and the pets!

Pets

A typical day

Walks, playing with toys, and whatever the dog/cat prefer to do are how we pass the time. Good activity will increase their overall life satisfaction and make for a sleepy pet later at night.

Let me know your pets attitude and how I can expect them to react when I walk into the house. Some pets are timid and some try to basically escape out the door!
