Loving & Detail-Oriented Pet Sitter
Thank you for checking out my profile! I’ve always been an animal person and have grown up around pets my whole life. I had cats growing up along with a small yorkiepoo, and in college I missed having animals so much that I ended up getting guinea pigs, then rabbits—which turned into a whole experience when we unexpectedly had 10 at one point. I raised them for a few months and still have three today, along with my two cats that I adopted as kittens (they’re now 2 😊). Because I have my own pets, I know how stressful it can be to leave them with someone else. I’m very particular about routines, feeding, and overall care, so I completely understand wanting someone who will follow instructions and treat your pets the same way you would. I actually had a hard time finding a sitter for my rabbits, and even with my cats I was always a little nervous—so I really try to be the kind of sitter I would want for my own animals. I’ve also done pet sitting and babysitting when I was younger, so I’m used to being responsible, attentive, and respectful of people’s homes. I work full-time, but I’m available for: Morning and evening drop-in visits Weekend care and sitting I especially love caring for: Cats Rabbits Small animals (guinea pigs, birds, etc.) Dogs too! I love a good morning walk and it can be even better with a companion pup. If your pet has a specific routine or needs extra attention, I’m happy to follow everything closely and keep you updated so you feel comfortable while you’re away. I’d love to help take care of your pets!

Safety, trust & environment
I always try to keep things as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. I’ll follow your lead on feeding, playtime, and any cleaning or care instructions so your pet feels comfortable and everything stays familiar. For drop-in visits, I typically spend about 30 minutes making sure your pet is fed, has fresh water, gets attention/playtime, and that any litter boxes, cages, or areas are cleaned as needed. For walks, I offer 30-minute to 1-hour walks depending on your pet’s energy level and what you prefer. I’m very detail-oriented and happy to follow specific instructions, routines, or preferences you have—especially since I know how important consistency is for pets.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was great with my 5-month old Pomeranian Milo. She was very patient and sweet to him and treated him like her own dog. I'll definitely book her again soon 🙏🏼
Nicole was consistent, kept in excellent communication and was very respectful of my Home. She took care with my standoff-ish kitten and went above and beyond without a doubt. I will be hiring Nicole again for my trip!
I met Nicole when she was younger through our church, and she used to babysit my children. Even back then, she was always incredibly responsible, caring, and attentive. What always stood out to me was that she naturally took initiative—not only with my kids, but with our pets too. Without ever being asked, she would make sure our dog and cat were cared for, played with, and comfortable while she was at our home. Over the years, that love and care for animals has only grown. Now whenever my family goes on vacation, Nicole checks in on our pets for us, and I truly never have to worry. I know they’ll be fed, cared for, and given attention the same way we would ourselves. Nicole is extremely dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely loves animals. She understands how important routines and trust are when it comes to pet care, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone compassionate and reliable to care for their pets.

Schedule
I work full-time, so during the weekdays I’m available for visits in the early mornings (before 8 AM) and in the evenings (after 6 PM). This works well for pets who need consistent care before and after the workday. On weekends, I have full availability and can be flexible with timing to fit your pet’s routine. I’m happy to work around specific schedules to make sure your pets are cared for at the times that work best for them.
