Loving, Reliable Cat Care 🐱

As a cat mother of 4 and a highly experienced animal care professional, I deeply understand that all cats are different and need to be cared for in ways that are most comfortable for them. Whether your kitty wants snuggles on the couch, or prefers to keep an eye on me from under the bed, I know all the tips & tricks to ensure a safe, comforting, and positive experience while you're away. ➡️ LOW Additional Cat Care Rate! As a cat mom of 4, I know the struggle seeing that visit rate rise higher and higher with each cat 😮‍💨 I am committed to offering low rates for multi cat homes 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈 🐱🌿 COMMUNITY Cat Care: Going out of town and worried about your local colony? I have experience both professionally and personally checking in on community cats. Enjoy your time away knowing your routines will be carried out by a compassionate and capable professional. More about my experience: 🐾 My career and volunteer experience has been animal-centric for over 10 years! My previous employers include Pet Paradise Resort, Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, and All Four Paws of FL. I've also volunteered hundreds of hours at Furry Friends and Leon County Humane Society in animal care, and am a current cat-care volunteer at Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando. 🐾 I worked as a Lead Animal Care Technician at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League, where I interacted with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My daily duties included monitoring animals' behaviors and health, cleaning kennel rooms, feeding, dog walking (20k steps a day babyyy!), and socialization (aka cuddling & playing!). 🐾 At Pet Paradise Resort, I communicated daily with pet parents to provide updates about their dogs/cats' stay with us at the resort. 🐾 At All Four Paws of FL I worked as a professional pet-sitter for high-profile clientele across Palm Beach. My experience includes hundreds of hours of dog walking, cat visits, hourly sitting, and overnights (in the clients' homes). 🐾 I am Fear-Free Handling certified and have educational credits in animal behavior from the University of Edinburgh. What has all of this taught me about animal care? 🐾 It’s important to offer a warm and welcoming presence when meeting new pets, and my goals as a caretaker are to make sure their physical, psychological, and medical needs are met. I pay close attention to detail, whether it is following the proper procedures or monitoring pet’s health throughout their time away from their parents! The health and safety of both pets and caretakers is of the utmost importance :) FUN FACT: I also have YEARS of experience as an animal/pet photographer, so you can expect Insta worthy updates from my visits 📸🐱

Safety, trust & environment

Routine is super important - and I do my best to ensure your pets feel confident their needs will be met while you're away. Picking up poop, scooping litter boxes, and cleaning up messes is quite literally my expertise! While visiting I respect your space, and ensure the safety of your pet & home (I will triple check all doors are locked!).

Nicole was amazing as usual! She sends thoughtful updates that we love to read, so many great pictures of our kiddos and their freshly cleaned spaces, and helps with weekly/monthly tasks on extended trips (she watched our kiddos for 3 weeks this time 😔). Cats and apartment were all in great shape when we returned!

My cat absolutely loves Nicole, and she does such a wonderful job making sure he’s well taken care of! I’m able to travel with one less thing to worry about knowing that he’s in great hands!

This was my third time booking with Nicole. As usual, everything was phenomenal. Nicole is punctual, kind, caring, thorough and I know that I can always trust her with my cats. I will continue to book with her whenever an opportunity arises.

This was my 2nd time booking with Nicole and everything went great! I didn’t expect anything less. I will continue to book with her whenever I’m in need and she is available. I appreciate knowing that my babies are in good care when I leave. I love to see the Rover cards with all the wonderful photos and the descriptions of the visits. If you are looking for quality care, Nicole is the sitter for you!!!! :)

Schedule

I currently work from home 8-6 on Monday-Thursday. I have time in the weekday mornings and evenings to do home visits, and the weekends (Fri-Sun) are completely free for more visitation time! At this time I am only accepting cat care clients 🐱

Cats
Nicole can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I request a FREE meet & greet with new clients to make sure we are the right fit for each other! During these meet & greets, I like to go over routine, make sure I have all the important medical and emergency contact info, and learn a little bit more about how your kitty thrives in their space! I like to think these meetings instill confidence in my abilities as a sitter, and offer your kitties a chance to meet me with the comfort of your supervision!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
