Experienced w/ variety of animals

Pet care experience

As an animal enthusiast, my love for all creatures is unparalleled. Despite having worked in the mortgage industry for two decades, I am eager to pursue a career that brings me joy. Throughout my life, I have had experience owning a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, rats, birds, and snakes. I possess a keen eye for detail and excel at following precise instructions.

Nicole went out of her way to find a solution when the keys to my home weren't working. She has the best attitude and I really appreciate her!

Nicole is so patient and calm with my dogs and cat who get a little anxious and needy when we are gone. She spends time with each animal just loving on them. This is the 2nd time having Nicole look after our animals and will use her again.

Nicole took such great care of our Koda for three days by coming to walk her multiple times a day! She was fabulous, on time, thorough with her walk updates and pictures! Koda loved every second of her time with Nicole!!

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to safety, trust, and the environment, my top priority is to provide the best care I can for your pet. I pay close attention to the instructions and follow them precisely. I make sure to familiarize myself with the home and surroundings to ensure the pet's safety. I also check the environment for any potential hazards and remove them promptly. I keep the pet's feeding and watering area clean and tidy and maintain their routine as closely as possible. Ultimately, I strive to create a safe and trusting environment for pets in my care. I understand the importance of building a strong bond with the animals and always treat them with kindness and respect. I'm happy to stick to certain schedules and love a nice long walk in the park. I feel my best outside like most animals. I also have previous experience with animals who have anxiety or need a little bit more love.

Information Nicole K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your animal prefers. Every single animal is different, just like people. I need to know if they are afraid of the dark, don't like loud noises, have a pup friend in the neighborhood they like to walk by. I am here to help the animals, any extra details small or large can help make them more comfortable.

A typical day

On meeting your dog please let me know if they have any special games they like to play. I know of several hiking trails in the area and dog parks that will keep them safe while getting out some energy.
