Pet care experience
Dedicated Care Rooted in Love
What truly sets me apart is my extensive experience with advanced medical management and senior pet care. I don’t just offer standard pet sitting; I provide specialized, highly attentive care for pets with complex health needs. My Specialized Skills Include: •Advanced Medical Support: Experienced with tube feeding, syringe feeding, and managing complex care routines. •Strict Medication Management: Highly disciplined in adhering to strict, round-the-clock medication schedules down to the exact hour. •Dedicated Senior Care: Deeply patient with aging pets, helping them navigate mobility challenges, cognitive changes, or fragile health with extreme gentleness. •Attentive Health Monitoring: Skilled at reading subtle changes in a pet's body language, appetite, and comfort levels to ensure they are safe and pain-free. I built my pet care mission in honor of my late dog, Hickory, who required this exact level of intensive medical devotion. I know firsthand the immense trust it takes to leave a special-needs pet in someone else's hands, and I am here to provide that absolute peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety First, Every Step of the Way: Safety is my absolute priority. During walks, your dog will always be securely leashed, and I stay highly alert to our surroundings—avoiding unknown dogs, busy intersections, or potential hazards. Before leaving your home, I double-check that all doors, gates, and windows are locked, and that any potential hazards (like loose food, trash, or cords) are entirely out of reach. Maintaining Comfort and Routines: I believe that keeping a consistent routine is the best way to prevent stress or anxiety while you are away. I strictly adhere to your pet's established schedules for feeding, medication, walks, and bedtime. If your pet requires specialized care, like strict medication intervals or specialized feeding routines, I track these meticulously so nothing is ever missed. Respecting Your Space & Clear Communication: I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, tidy, and secure. I know how important it is to feel connected to your pet while you are gone, so I will send you regular, detailed updates with photos and notes on how they are doing. You can rest assured knowing your home is safe and your pet is receiving dedicated, one-on-one devotion.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was absolutely wonderful! The love ,care, and attention given to my pups while on a 10 day trip was exceptional. Nicole is friendly, professional, and caring. She kept me up to date everyday and sent lots of cute pics. Leaving my pups is stressful but I had no worries knowing Nicole was taking care of my girls!!
Nicole is very responsible, timely, and communicative. She loves animals and treats them like her family. She has had multiple pets since I have known her and she takes really good care of them, even providing special diets and medicine when necessary. She loves animals and children more than anything. She has been a teacher for many years and has a lot of patience with pets. I have known her for 10 years.

Schedule
I maintain a structured and highly reliable routine that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets. Monday through Friday: I work a standard 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM schedule. However, I have a full one-hour lunch break midday which is perfect for local drop-in visits or quick lunch breaks. I am also fully available for dedicated evening walks and overnight house sitting. Weekends: I am fully available with an open schedule, allowing me to provide constant companionship, long walks, and highly attentive care. Because of my work routine, I am a fantastic fit for cats, independent dogs, or senior pets who thrive on a predictable schedule and just need a reliable midday check-in and evening companionship.

- I’d love to know your pet’s routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special needs, medications, or dietary requirements. It’s also helpful to know about any quirks, fears, or triggers so I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾❤️
