Nicole was with our pets for the weekend and did such an amazing job. She kept me informed and sent lots of pictures. You can really tell both my cat and dog love her. We had an incident where our cat got out (not related to her care at all) and she immediately jumped into action to find him. She went above and beyond: asking neighbors, driving around the block, etc and made a rough situation so much better. I’m so grateful Nicole was the one watching our pets and I will absolutely be booking with her again!

Nicole L. was fantastic with our cat, Buffy. She was very caring and was excellent company for our sweet girl. I loved all the daily pictures and the extra attention she gave Buffy. I will absolutely use Nicole L. again the next time we go out of town.

Though it's always difficult leaving my fur babies behind, finding a sitter as reliable and conciencious as Nicole considerably lessens my worry. Even my most stand-offish boy looked like he was in sheer heaven during Nicole's visits. And it really made our day to see all the wonderful photos shared from Nicole's visits. If you're on the fence about who to entrust with your fur babies care, Ihighly recommend you book with Nicole!
