Information Nicole L. would like to know about your pet

I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. I'm not a believer of prejudices against breeds. They'll have a friend in me and I'm appreciative of every animal I get to meet and spend time with.

A typical day

Your pets will feel comfortable and stimulated hanging out with me. I love to go on walks and hikes even when not with my furry friends from rover, but it's way more fun to have them along! I absolutely adore cats and have found they like to hunt for hidden treats in the home. Singing with my parrot friends has always been fun too.

Pet care experience

Hello, Nicole! Like any animal enthusiast, my love affair with animals started as a young cub. Whether it was building a house for my rabbits with my father when I was 8, adoring my Canary’s beautiful song voice, helping with the critters at my aunt’s barn in New Hampshire, going on nature walks with my dogs or hiding treats for my cats to hunt & find. I was always happiest in the company of animals. After all these years, I still continue to admire & learn new things from these miracles that we share this planet & our lives with. They have been the greatest friends. We can be our best selves with the infinite love we that receive from the animals in our lives. I started Nicole’s Pet Services while I was in college because the hours were flexible & it was therapeutic for me. It never felt like a job. I often walked dogs between classes and studied during overnights. After graduation, however, I quickly discovered that I couldn’t bear the thought of trading in the pockets full of treats and tennis balls for a living that I wasn’t passionate about. With families forming such strong bonds with their pets, and dealing with busy every day life, I’m there to look after & be a friend to their little loved ones when they can’t be with them. Everyone should have the benefit of these bonds without the fear of not having the trusted care of an animal lover like me when you have to work, get errands done, or even to do some traveling. Keeping my life simple and working with the love of my life, Renee, has allowed me to do the things I truly enjoy. For instance, spending my 30th birthday trekking through a jungle with rescued elephants in Thailand. Same as you, I’m also picky about who I’ve had as my pet sitter. As pet parents found trust in me & started to refer me to their friends, my clientele started to grow and my dream of working with animals became a real reality. Our pets are a huge part of our family and when you’re having a bad day, they’re there to comfort and love us. When life gets in the way, let me lend a hand in assuring they’re feeling safe & having fun. It’s always a pleasure to meet new furry friends. Thanks for coming to my page & I hope to be able to fill in for you til you return while continuing what I love to do.

Nicole was a life saver with a last minute booking! She was very communicative and made me feel relaxed about taking Moxie on short notice. No complaints would book again!

Nicole is wonderful! She took great care of our bernedoodle while we were away, communicating regularly and sending photos to reassure us he was doing well and having fun. She was responsive, reliable and asked questions as needed. I would highly recommend!

Nicole did a superb job taking care of our house, our older dog, and two cats (one fiesty!). She sent photos every day, which we really appreciated. And she texted us regular updates on how the animals were doing. We came home to a spotless house, too! We will definitely work with Nicole again!
