Pet care experience

The Fun Auntie Your Pets Deserve!

I’ve been professionally working with dogs for the past 7 years, with experience in grooming, boarding, and daycare settings. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. I’m also experienced in administering oral medications safely and comfortably when needed. I am certified in Pet First Aid/ CPR, and Safe Handling, so I am trained to recognize behavioral patterns and body language in both dogs and cats, allowing me to quickly understand when a pet is relaxed, anxious, stressed, or overstimulated-and respond appropriately to help them feel safe and comfortable.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels consistent and comforting while their owner is away. I have experience with pets of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior pets, shy cats, high-energy dogs, and animals that may need extra patience or space to build trust. Whether that means playtime, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, litter box cleaning, or simply providing calm companionship, I always take an individualized approach to each pet.

Dog Walking • Aug 14, 2026

Super communicative- very seasoned with dogs and asked the right questions - I was confident she’d take care of my dog and any potential sensitivities, making it a safe and enjoyable walk for her!

House Sitting • Jul 26, 2026

Nicole was the first person we’ve booked through Rover and she made sure it was an incredible experience. Not once did I have any doubts that my pets were well taken care of. Regular pics and updates keep us at ease. Plus it seems like our pets really loved spending their weekend with her, too. This was a 10/10 experience, we will absolutely be booking services through Nicole again!

Nicole is a true pet professional! She is very knowledgeable about pet care and is sensitive to each individual pet’s needs. When it comes to my pets, I’m always looking for the best of the best, and Nicole has exceeded my expectations! If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond, make your dog’s tail wag, and put your mind at ease, YOU HAVE FOUND HER!

Nicole is truly amazing with animals! She has a deep understanding for the way each pet is different and caters to them as if they were her own. I would trust Nicole with my fur babies any day!

Nicole is simply amazing. Always on time, kind and respectful. Her passion for animals and to care for them is so heartwarming. My pitbull is a little rambunctious but she handles him so well in a patient but stern way. He even lets her trim his nails and my pitty does not like getting trims. He absolutely loves her, nothing but tail wags when she arrives! 10/10 would recommend!

Nicole would be exceptional at this. She is very passionate when it comes to animals. She has worked grooming dogs for years and loves doing it. I believe she's the right choice.
