Safety, trust & environment

When I’m working at a clients home, I provide a lot of respect for both the place and the animal(s). I like to create a comfortable environment and a trusting relationship between the animals that I care for and me. If animals are shy or aggressive at first, I will start slow and be considerate of their space. The relationship I have with the animals I care for is very important to me and I like to develop a trusting bond with them and make them feel safe. As for house-sitting at my own place, I have two properties in Massachusetts. One is an apartment in Boston and the other is my family house in Dedham. My family house has a large, fenced-in backyard in a safe neighborhood. My family just includes my parents and me and we’re all animal lovers. We live right near Wilson Mountain Reservation which is a great place to walk your leashed dog.

Information Nicole M. would like to know about your pet

Before I care for your pet, I’d like to know if they have any disabilities, health problems I should be aware of, behavioral issues, problems/tips for being transported in a car, and if they get along with other animals. If there is anything that can trigger your pet, I would like to know about it before I care for them.

A typical day

I love getting active and keeping up with the dogs I watch! I enjoy having interactive play with dogs, and keep them moving around. One of my favorite places to explore with furry friends is Wilson Mountain Reservation. I used to live right beside it and it’s a very beautiful, serene place that is perfect for long walks! I know a lot of different trails around my area as well and I’d love to explore.

Pet care experience

I’ve dog and cat sat for multiple families in my past. I’m reliable, flexible, and I have a true love for all animals. I’ve lived with all sorts of animals, and I sincerely love being able to take care of any pets. If you’re curious about my schedule, check my calendar. I try to update it as much as possible to keep it accurate. Reach out if you have any questions!

Nicole did a great job taking care of my cats over the holidays! She fed them, gave Bindi a pill twice a day, and spent time hanging out/playing with them during each visit. She also sent updates and a ton of pictures every time she stopped by. I appreciate that Nicole was super responsive and asked questions whenever things were unclear. Thank you Nicole ☺️

Nicole was wonderful! She communicated quickly, had an accurate calendar, and most importantly was wonderful with our pup. Will definitely schedule with her again😊

Nicole is amazing! We changed plans SO many times and she was understanding and patient. She did really well with our pooch too—he’s a nervous boy but warmed up to her. She followed instructions and went the extra mile. We will definitely be contacting Nicole in the future!
