🐾 Peace of Mind While You’re Away
👋 Hi, I’m Nicole! As a lifelong Hamilton County resident centered in the Westfield area, I bring a level of professional maturity, structural stability, and specialized experience that gives families total peace of mind. I proudly serve pet parents across Westfield, Carmel, Noblesville, Fishers, and surrounding areas. With a flexible daily schedule, I offer the true consistency and reliable availability your dogs need to maintain a seamless, predictable routine. My Background & Specializations: 🐾 Multi-Dog Households: Highly experienced in managing multi-pet dynamics, complex feeding routines, and individual medication schedules. ⚡ Sensitivities & Anxiety: Specialized in providing structured, calm care for dogs with environmental anxieties, sound phobias, or strict behavioral routines. My core focus is primarily on high-quality daytime drop-ins and daily walks, though I do consider overnight house-sitting selectively on a case-by-case basis for compatible homes. 🐕 Service Breakdown: ☀️ DROP-INS (30 Minutes): Perfect for a mid-day refresh! Every drop-in includes a 10–15 minute neighborhood stroll or backyard playtime for physical relief and mental stimulation, alongside a fresh food/water top-off, medication administration, and indoor companionship. The Rover Report: You'll receive a detailed Rover Card showing exact arrival/departure times, photos, and a complete potty/behavior update. 🌳 WALKS (30 Minutes): Dedicated entirely to continuous, focused outdoor exercise—ideal for active dogs or homes without a yard. Includes a full, structured walk tailored to your dog's natural pace and a food/water refresh upon return. The Rover Report: The app provides a GPS map of our exact route, distance covered, timestamps, photos, and a quick potty report. ⚠️ Important Heat Safety Note: To keep your pups safe, when the heat index rises above 90°F, outdoor walks will be shortened to quick potty breaks to protect paws and prevent heat stroke. The remaining time booked will be spent indoors doing fun brain games, low-energy play, or getting plenty of belly rubs and fresh water! 🏡 HOUSE SITTING (Overnights): A premium, dedicated care experience designed to keep your pup's stress low in their own familiar environment. Includes complete adherence to their established routine, basic home care (watering plants, rotating trash/mail), and consistent communication with daily photos. To guarantee the highest level of safety and focused attention, I only accept ONE house-sitting client at a time and book exclusively based on household compatibility.

Safety, trust & environment
How I care for pets in your home: Because I provide care exclusively in your home and neighborhood, my top priority is maintaining a secure, predictable, and low-stress environment for your pets. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep safety at the forefront of every single visit. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & House Sitting): Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your exact instructions regarding feeding, gating, crating, and medication windows to keep your dog's day entirely predictable. Environmental Management: For dogs with anxiety or sensitivity to storms and fireworks, I proactively manage the environment—closing blinds, playing calming background music, and utilizing precise comforting techniques to minimize stress. Home Security & Discretion: I ensure doors are securely locked, alarms are set, and gates are latched during every entry and exit. While house-sitting, I maintain a lived-in presence, bring in mail, and strictly respect your privacy and property. Out on Walks: Double-Check Gear: Before stepping outside, I always verify that collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted and in good condition. Distraction-Free Handling: I maintain full situational awareness on our walks. I do not use headphones or look at my phone, ensuring my eyes are always on your dog, the path ahead, and any oncoming distractions or stray animals. Weather Safety: I actively monitor weather. If pavements are too hot for paws or a storm rolls in, we will seamlessly pivot to structured, energetic indoor play and mental stimulation to keep your pup safe and happy.
Ratings and reviews
Cole was a Godsend when I found myself needing to find care for our two pups at the last minute on 4th of July weekend. She specializes in dogs with firework and thunder anxiety which both of our girls struggle with so when I saw her profile, I prayed she would have availability, and that prayer was answered. Nicole came right over to meet us and everything worked out better than I could have hoped for. She is very communicative and sent updates and photos throughout the visit. She even brought a white noise machine to help mask the noises from the fireworks to help keep our babies! If you are looking for a kind, compassionate, attentive and highly skilled caregiver you can not go wrong with Nicole! She is amazing and I will definitely reach out to her the next time our girls need a sitter! Thank you Nicole! Until next time!
Nicole is amazing! We had no worries while we were away about our sweet grand puppy. The communication about how Gemma’s day/evening went for her, along with a few photos was perfect. When we decided to have another get away, we will be calling Nicole.
Highly recommend Nicole. Needed to go out of town last minute and the process was so easy. Nicole was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. Will use her again in the future. My dog does not do well boarding and this takes a lot of stress off knowing she is in good hands.
Nicole was extremely professional and easy to work with. She responded very quickly when I first sent out the request and was even able to come make it over to our house for a quick meet and greet before we finalized and booked. She was attentive and detailed in her check in’s with my dogs. Next time we go out of town I will definitely be re-booking with Nicole!
Nicole agreed to take care of my dog at the last minute! She was amazing! Ivy was a happy pup! I will definitely book her again!!
Nicole was a wonderful sitter to my two doggos! Very communicative, played with them lots, and gave me peace of mind while on a trip.

Schedule
I operate on a highly flexible daily schedule, which allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my routine without rushing. Whether I am dropping in for a daytime visit or house-sitting overnights, your dog’s schedule becomes my priority. My routine allows me to provide an extended daytime presence for dogs who need extra companionship, ensuring they are never left alone for long stretches. I plan my weeks around my bookings to guarantee absolute punctuality and reliability for every dog I care for.
