Pet care experience
Loving Your Pets Like Family
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.

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was extremely reliable and professional and I will definitely reach out to her again next time I need cat sitter. My elderly cat is sweet, but also a bit moody at times, and Nicole did an amazing job at helping my cat naturally come out of her shell and feel safe. The photo updates Nicole sent were also great and really set my mind at ease.
Nicole is a very kind, energetic and caring woman who did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She followed all instructions thoughtfully and communicated with us clearly and in a timely fashion. She arrived promptly too. I highly recommend Nicole as a caregiver for your pet. She’s great!
Nicole did a couple drop in visits for my 2 dogs and took great care of them! She asked great questions at the meet & greet, excellently communicated her visits, and is just an all around pleasant and trustworthy person. My pups loved her. I would definitely use her again in the future!
I have known Nicole for about ten years now and I can confidently says she is one of the most empathetic, trustworthy, and reliable people I have ever got the pleasure of knowing. That includes her as a person and with pets. There was a time when I took in a very ill cat and began raising money for his care. Nicole had no reservations in the fundraising process and due to her kindness I have now had my sweet boy for many years with many more to come. In terms of her own pets, Nicole has a cat with a chronic health issue and she is dedicated to his health and wellbeing, by providing him love, home, resources, and daily medications. She is also very responsible with care in general. She is always caring for others in multiple capacities. We have gone on multiple community trips together, Nicole has helped individuals in crisis, and she is very attentive to multiple different abilities and neurodivergence. I would not think twice about trusting her with the loves of my life, which are my pets!
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.
