Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Nicole and I love animals!

For over 20 years, I've had the pleasure of caring for many wonderful dogs. I have also spent time volunteering in cat rescue as a caretaker and cleaner. I can't help but adore these furry companions! To me, pets are family, and should be treated with love, patience and respect. Some of my dog care experience includes feeding, walking, nail trimming, cleaning kennels, bathing, and exercising. I have cared for cats by feeding, playing, and maintaining litter. I don't hesitate to get pets veterinary services and am consistent when it comes to giving medical care such as administering medication. Whether it's checking in, sticking to routines, getting exercise, or simply having a potty break, your pet's comfort, happiness and safety is my top priority!

House Sitting • Mar 15, 2026

Nicole is amazing. We did a few short visits for the dogs to get to know her before our week long trip away. She picked up on our dogs’ personalities very quickly and adapted her energy to match to make it the best possible scenario. She was polite and respectful to both our dogs and our home while we were away. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be reaching out to her on a regular basis for all our sitter needs!

The absolute sweetest, competent kitty sitter ever! It was my first time hiring Nicole and I would definitely hire her again to babysit my two fur babies. She kept me updated, sent photos, and made sure they were given so much love while I was away.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My pet care services include walking and sitting for pets in their home, or drop-in visits. Since I live in a pet-free residence, I am not offering boarding services at this time. I currently work remotely, so I can be very flexible with my schedule.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is incredibly important to me. I will care for pets as owners see fit, and can follow guidelines for their care and your home. I value the wishes of pet owners and aim to build and maintain trust through good communication. I am comfortable handling small to big dogs, kittens and cats. I can provide in-home care at your residence, including using crates if needed. I can provide pet updates by sending pictures and videos through text/email, or through the app.

A typical day

A typical day with your fur baby would include walks, feedings, and playing. If there is a nearby dog-friendly park, we can explore and have outdoor play time. Otherwise, neighborhood walks are my go-to. If they need to de-stress, then we can relax and have gentle play time instead. I understand that all animals are unique, and not all would enjoy vigorous play or exercise, so depending on their temperament and needs, our day can be adaptable.
