Nicole is an absolutely stellar sitter! She’s fantastic with cats and is everything you could hope for and more: highly skilled and genuinely attuned to the needs of the pet, timely, communicative, friendly, honest, and reliable. The reports she sent from each visit were highly detailed and really helped me feel at ease while my cat was in her care. Highly recommend!!

Our dog loved Nicole! She’s reliable and communication was great. Photos were much appreciated and our dog got the exercise she needed. We’ll be reaching out to Nicole for future needs.

Nicole has been pet sitting for me for more than a year, and I’m pretty sure my cat Hamlet likes when I go away because it means she’s coming to visit! Punctual, great notes after each visit, and I never question that everything is in good hands.

Nicole was a dream to work with!!! I have a shy senior cat who needs medication and she did wonderfully under Nicole's care! I am so appreciative to her - definitely my new go-to sitter!

Nicole was absolutely awesome. She stayed with my kitty for about two weeks while I was away. I worried about nothing and she sent me daily updates and photos of all the fun they were having! When I got home, my home looked great and kitty was happy! It is immeasurably comforting to know your furry friend is happy while you are away and I am super grateful to Nicole!

Nicole was AWESOME with my cat while I was gone. It was my first trip away in the new place and first time he’d be home alone for a week. No worries with Nicole - she sent meticulous reports after each visit and plenty of pics - and my cat seemed so at ease with her I’m pretty sure he couldn’t care less if I came home or not ?. Thank you Nicole!!
