Intuitive & experienced dog lady!
Pet care experience
About me: I'm a 40-something creative lady living in N Portland with my little chihuahua mix Stevie. I once did a lot of dog-sitting and dog-walking but now work full time remotely. I moved to Portland 16 years ago from New Orleans after the hurricane, but am originally from the NYC metro area. I pet sat professionally for over a decade and have plenty of references. .
Reviews
My animal rated Nicole 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 =5 star. The highest of compliments.
Reliable, leaves no trace, animals happy!
Nicole does an excellent job of caring for our anxiety prone dog. We would not leave our dog with anyone else.
Nicole is awesome! Great at communicating while we are out of town and goes above and beyond her duties to take great care of our cats! Highly recommend her for your next pet sitting needs!!!
About Nicole L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to make you and your pet(s) feel comfortable. I'm a private person, so I understand that it may be anxiety-inducing to have a stranger inside your home. What a vulnerable position to be in! Here's the thing: I'm a people-pleaser, sometimes to a fault. This is a quality that makes me an incredibly self-aware house guest who holds your privacy in the highest regard.
Information Nicole L. would like to know about your pet
There is no "wrong answer" to any of these questions; I'm an equal opportunity dog lover with loads of experience. Likes other dogs? Plays rough? Separation anxiety? Leash reactive when approaching other dogs/cats/squirrels? Food or toy aggression? Typical daily routine. Anxiety triggers. Preferences for cleaning up messes.
A typical day
Neighborhood walks, both exercise walks and sniffy walks, backyard playtime, indoor activities (like dog puzzles and brain games), cuddle fests, mellow couch hangs, whatever your typical routine entails.

Availability
I work 830-5 M-F remotely. I can do a 30 min walk for lunch and let dogs out into your fenced-in yard as often as needed during that time. After work, I’m all theirs!
