Pet care experience

I grew up with large dogs (husky and labrador retriever) so I am very accustomed to walking and playing with them. I can walk 2 dogs at a time as long as they are calm and get along with each other. I also fostered a cat until he found his forever home. I love meeting new pets!

Nicole was excellent. We’ve spoiled our dog and cat and we hadn’t left them with anyone before Nicole. We were unsure how it was going to work out. Nicole made it effortless. Our big lab was very comfortable with Nicole. She gave him lots of exercise and attention. She was also able to meet the demands of our independent outdoor cat. Thank you Nicole for making our vacation worry free.

Nicole has helped us with house/dog sitting and dog walks. She is reliable and trustworthy and is great with our large, energetic Bernedoodle! Thanks Nicole!

We booked another day for Nicole to watch Zoey while we visited a friend outside Toronto and things went just as smoothly! Nicole is punctual, friendly, and sends plenty of photo updates. Zoey was excited to see her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I will take many beautiful pictures of your pet(s) for you too! I have an Instagram page dedicated to your pets - please let me know if you would prefer that they are not featured! (Identifying information e.g. name tags, street signs will be edited out.) I have an extremely flexible schedule. I'm more of an evening person, and have done a lot of late sittings so don’t be scared to ask! Unfortunately I'm not able to take regular walks (e.g. Monday-Friday 1h everyday), but am great at handling one-time or last minute requests!

Information Nicole L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know anything "unique" about them: any quirk, preference for anything specific, any rules, etc., whatever is necessary for a stranger to ease comfortably into their space. Please complete their vet information and also disclose any allergies, medications, triggers, physical limitations, and anything else that is important for your pet's health!

A typical day

I like walking on quieter side walks or parks if that is available nearby to minimize distractions and triggers. I love giving belly rubs and playing fetch or tug-of-war too! I stay with your pets full-time so most of the time I will be on my laptop with them next to me. If they have a yard and enjoy being outdoors, I am happy to sit outside with them! For boarding, I only take one household at a time!

Availability

I know how difficult it is to be away from your pets and your home so I do my best to make sure both you and your pet(s) feel as comfortable and happy as possible. I usually ask about your pets' schedule and try my best not to deviate from that. During walks, after passing by their usual or "favorite" places, I like walking down different paths every so often so that dogs are able to pick up new scents and surroundings. For housesitting, I stay in your home full-time, and two 30-minute leashed walks are included (and as much yard time as needed). Please let me know of your communication preferences - I usually send 2-3 updates daily. I strive to leave your home just as you had left it, if not better!
