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), and live with a 5 yo cat—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 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!

Nicole was wonderful! It was my first time away from my furbabies and she made me feel so comfortable leaving them for the first time. She sent updates, pics, and was always happy to answer any questions I had. I would definitely recommend Nicole!!

Nicole was amazing! She was very communicative and left detailed, thorough notes. She was also very patient with our shy cat and did everything she could to make our cat feel safe. We definitely recommend Nicole!
