Highlights
Pet care experience
Every pet is family!
I have had dogs throughout my life, giving me extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities.I currently have a cat named Rocky (my pride and joy!!), so I also have experience caring for cats and understanding their unique needs and behaviors. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have watched and cared for many dogs and cats for family, friends, and others. I am experienced with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, providing exercise and companionship, and maintaining consistent routines to help pets feel comfortable and secure. My strengths include excellent communication with pet owners, reliability, patience, and close attention to detail. I am comfortable administering oral medications as directed, following specific care instructions, recognizing changes in a pet's behavior or health, and providing updates to owners for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide safe, compassionate, and dependable care.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I'm caring for your pet in my apartment or in your home, their safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where I can provide a calm, quiet environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I make sure doors and windows remain secure and keep any potentially harmful items out of reach. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my apartment or in your home, their safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment where I can provide a calm, quiet environment with plenty of attention and supervision. I make sure doors and windows remain secure and keep any potentially harmful items out of reach. I always follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I understand that every cat has different needs, so I let them set the pace—whether they want to play, cuddle, or simply have a quiet companion nearby. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same care I'd want for my own cat.

Nicole has been an animal lover all her life. Growing up with two large Labrador Retrievers gave her years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, and today she continues that love for animals as the proud owner of her cat, Rocky. She is patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with pets, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's long walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, Nicole treats every animal as if they were her own. Anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter can feel confident knowing their pets will be in great hands with Nicole.
I can't recommend Nicole highly enough as a pet sitter. She is one of the most caring, responsible, and compassionate people I know, and her love for animals is evident in everything she does. She is incredibly attentive, patient, and always makes sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether it's sticking to a routine, giving them plenty of affection, or paying close attention to their individual needs, she goes above and beyond to ensure every animal receives the best care possible. I would trust her without hesitation to look after my own pets, knowing they would be in kind, capable, and loving hands.

Schedule
I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the week. On my WFH days, I'm able to spend most of the day with pets. On days I'm in the office, I plan my schedule around my pet commitments to ensure every pet receives the attention and care they need/deserve.
