Pawsome pet care for your fur baby
Pet care experience
I've always loved animals and find it fun to be able to meet different kinds of fur babies. I've worked for a pet sitting company in the past and loved being able to put owners at ease that their pets are taken care of while away on vacation or at work. Friends and family have always counted on me to take care of their pets when they need to be let out or go for a walk as well. I love all types and sizes - including really big doggos. I would be honored to be trusted to cuddle with your dachshund or play fetch with your horse of a great dane. Rottie loves butt scratches? I'm on it. Cats like to hide? It's okay, I'll still try to play. Puppy biting my ankle? It's fine - we'll play fetch! I have a German Shepherd and trained him myself to be the best boy he can be, so I'm happy to keep up with any training and make sure they keep their good manners. If interested, I can also take your pup on adventures to a coffee shop or a walk in a park. I will NOT go to dog parks. If we are out and about, I will try my best to NOT let other dogs around your pup and am very picky. I will decide in the moment what is the best, safest option for everyone. Lastly, here's what to expect during my visits: Drop ins: A 30 min or 60 min visit. If you have a yard, I'll let them out, play fetch or just cuddle. If they need a little more activity or you don't have a fence, we will go on a 10-15 min walk (20-30 for 60 min visits). The rest of our time is spent playing, cuddling, feeding, and giving medications, if any. I'm also checking around the home, bringing packages in, watering plants, etc. Dog Walking: a 30 min walk, 40ish min visit or 60 min walk, 70ish min visit: Main difference is I'm focused on getting the most activity with your dog(s) for the full service time. I'll usually come in and give pets, then check around the home, bring packages, water plants, etc. We'll grab our leash and head for our full time walk or sniffari, and then get back home to fill water bowls. If they prefer playing fetch, we can play fetch for half the time and walk for the other half. Up to you! Every pet is different and has their own special needs and likes, and my only goal is to make sure they get the best care possible as if you never even left. <3
Reviews
Nicole did an excellent job taking care of our dog and 2 cats. She displayed excellent dependability and true care and affection for our pets. She went above and beyond keeping us informed and level of attention to detail. Highly recommend!
This is the second time I have had her watch both of my dogs. It’s always scary trusting someone in your home and I definitely trust her with my dogs and being in my place one of my dogs can be challenging at first and she was very good with getting him to warm up with her, she is definitely my go to girl as long as she’s available. Check in with me and great communication and send me pictures of them.
Nicole was great with by boxer! 100% recommend. I will definitely book with her again.
Nicole is over the top! Conscientious and kind. Way above our expectations. We will use her again.

Safety, trust & environment
For your home, I usually will go around public areas, or areas you specify, to check if there's an accident or if they've gotten into something they shouldn't have. I'll clean up any messes and make sure there isn't something harmful out. I can also bring in packages, check your mail, water plants, etc. If needing something specific, message me to make sure I can before booking the service, just to be sure. Depending on your pet's needs and your preferences, I'm happy to play fetch or just hang with them inside after a potty break. I can also go on long walks and let them sniff everything or nothing at all. If you have a fenced in yard, I'll be sure the gates are closed before letting them out.
Information Nicole L. would like to know about your pet
I am welcoming of all breeds of cats and dogs, but for dogs if it's known, I'd love to know what kind of dog it is so I can learn a little more about the breed. I'd like to know how their manners are while walking, and what kind of petting they like the best. If they have any fun quirks or phrases they love to hear, let me know!
A typical day
We will go on walks through the neighborhood, and if there is a park nearby we'll visit that as well. If the pup needs a little break, we'll sit on a bench or under a tree for a good belly rub.

Availability
I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I'm able to go at different times of the day/night. Needed for an emergency service? I'll be there to the rescue if I'm available. I know how stressful it can be if your flight got delayed or your work day got hectic - and I'll be honest if I can or can't make it in time.
