Pet care experience

0.5 acres to run wild

From big to small I've cared for them all. From feeding, to medicating, cleaning, and simple grooming of my own personal pets; I've gotten to experience the highs and the messy parts of owning, caring, and loving pets. You want to go away for the weekend? Let them have some fun with Ozzy and I. They get to run around 0.5 acres fully fenced in! Need someone to just stop by and take them for a walk while you're away for the weekend or have to work night shift? No problem, I've got plenty of experience with various harnesses so rest assured they will be secured the way you like them to be for their walks.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs: I've got a 0.5 Acre fenced in yard for them to run around in and a 70lb super friendly puppy named Ozzy they can play with. Happy to also crate them for their own peace of mind during those times when they just need "me time" to feel safe. Drop in walks will be 1:1, unless they (Ozzy and your pup ) are well established friends. For safety, I will check to ensure your pup can slip through the fence bars first before they are allowed off leash. Cats: they get a room to themselves away from my pets for their and your own peace of mind. If you want them to have outside time I have a in closed kitty stroller too!

Nicole was wonderful to work with! She had great communication and attention to detail. Our chickens were very happy and well cared for.

Nicole is the sweetest big sister and the most devoted animal lover I know. Ever since I can remember, she has cared for a variety of pets—hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, cats, dogs, birds, and more. One of my earliest memories is walking into our local exotic pet store and hearing the store's cockatoo call out her name, a testament to how often she visited and bonded with the animals there. She has always been protective of her pets, going above and beyond to ensure their wellbeing. Whether it's providing the best care, recognizing when something is wrong, or taking swift action (or even knitting them clothing and making hats with her barehands), she never hesitates when an animal needs her. Her medical background adds an extra layer of reassurance, giving her the knowledge to recognize health concerns and act in the best interest of both her own pets and those of others. When it comes to my own pets—whom I’ve raised since they were kittens and puppies and who mean the world to me—there’s no one I trust more than Nicole. Her love for animals isn’t just a hobby; it’s a part of who she is.

Best pet sitter I have ever had!! She watched my two cats (13yr old and 5yr old) for a month. She send pics to keep you updated. instantly noticed when my older cat was showing some signs of distress and took her to the vet to check on her. Sent me updated info when she was at the vet . Both of my kitties are doing great and have warmed up to her ! She spent time with them and played with them.

Schedule

Dogs: I work during the week, but happy to spend my weekend giving your pup the VIP treatment while your away! With me weekends start Friday evening and go until Sunday night! Need someone to just stop by and take them for a walk? No problem, I match energy with doggy energy! *Dod boarding is only available on select weekends* Cats: cats that board will get a room to themselves, away from my own pets so they cat feel comfortable relaxing and doing their own thing. They will get twice a day loving, litter box cleaning, and long term boarders (1 month+) will get monthly nail trimming at no extra charge! **Boarding for Cats and small pets can happen any time of the week, and I can accommodate extended stays** Other small and furry friends: I've personally had gerbils, mice, hamsters, parakeets, and guinea pigs so I'm happy to board them too.

*boarding pups* Please let me know with advanced notice if your dog requires a ramp to get in and out of a car. Or if you would prefer they do not go on a park adventure. I can alter their outdoor time and activity to their needs. For drop in care: please let me know what phrases /gestures your pup responds to in order to prevent confusion.
