Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is always making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and companionship so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. I also keep their space clean, fresh, and stress-free, and I always provide updates with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. For dogs, I enjoy going on long, engaging walks and making sure they get both exercise and enrichment. For cats, I focus on gentle care, play, and respecting their comfort level—whether that means interactive play or quiet companionship.

Information Nicole P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special accommodations, medical requirements, dietary restrictions, behavioral quirks, or preferences that will help me provide the best possible care. I also appreciate any tips about their routine, favorite activities, comfort items, or anything else that helps them feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away.

A typical day

I absolutely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their families are away. Whether it's playing fetch in the yard, going on fun walks, enjoying cuddle time on the couch, or keeping curious minds busy with toys and games, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. My goal is to make their time with me feel like a fun filled vacation!

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals since I was in elementary school, starting with my own pets and eventually helping care for the pets of family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I truly enjoy spending time with them and building loving friendships with each one. Whether it's going for long walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm also a proud cat owner, and caring for my own cat has given me firsthand experience in providing attentive, daily care and understanding the importance of patience, consistency, and affection. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care and give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.

Nicole is the best of the best. She is caring, attentive, and overall lighthearted. As an animal lover, Nicole treats all animals as if they were her own. Between Nicole’s experience with animals, and caring personality, I fully trust her with any of my animals. Nicole really is one of a kind.

Nicole is amazing with my two dogs! She treats them like they are her own and gives them so much love and attention. When my dogs are in her care I have complete peace of mind. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares for animals, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
