Pet care experience

Who listens to your pets.

I have a great amount of knowledge of dogs/cats as I have previously worked at a pet store and interact with all different sizes/breeds of dogs daily. I currently volunteer at my local animal shelter and conducted a range of duties from leading a dog walking class to comforting newly arrived and senior cats. As a result, I have become highly skilled in reading body language and signs from pets, whether they are signaling wanting comfort and pets to needing some space to build more confidence and trust. My senior dog (15 yo) sadly passed away recently, so I do have experience caring for geriatric pups—I currently own a puppy (2 yo), lived with a 5 yo cat, and recently adopted a kitty (approx. between 1-2 yo)—I can ensure that your pet receives the proper care they require. I have undergone 2 puppy classes for my own pup and can help with any of your dog’s needs too.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Currently, I am only allowed to have my own pet at my place, but I’m more than happy to provide care for your pet in the comfort of their home. I respect the client’s home like I would expect any guest to respect my own (if not better)! I currently provide drop-in visits, feedings, a nice stroll by your home, cleaning up after your pet, and most importantly, comforting them while you are away—whether it is just sitting next to them or giving them a nice head scratch/belly rubs—you name it!

Nicole was amazing and attentive to our boys. Even our shy one opened up to her almost immediately. Would happily book with her again.

House Sitting • Sep 07, 2026

We are so thankful for Nicole! Thanks to Nicole, we felt comfortable leaving our pup for a night with no worries. Seeing that she is able to watch dogs with special needs, we need she would be the right fit for our pup, who can tend to have some behavioral issues at times. She was able to come meet him beforehand and go over everything she would need to know to watch him. She sent us updates, including pictures and videos, and did such a wonderful job. We will absolutely book with Nicole again for any future dog sitting needs!

My dog received excellent care. Nicole was very good with communication pictures and letting me know when she’s coming and going. Very responsible.

Dog Walking • Jul 09, 2026

Nicole was always prompt in responding to my dog walking requests and maintained excellent communication throughout. She is clearly passionate about caring for pets and is courteous, friendly, professional, and reliable. I'm so happy to have found someone I can truly trust to care for my fur baby. I have complete confidence in Nicole and will definitely be using her services again whenever I need a dog walker or sitter. Highly recommend!
