Pet care experience

Responsible & Loving Pet Sitter

Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a San Francisco-based pet sitter with a background in healthcare, which makes me especially comfortable caring for pets with special needs, medications, or anxiety. I have experience with both cats and dogs, including shy or temperamental pets who need extra patience and a calm approach. I understand how important routine is, and I take the time to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Pet parents often tell me they appreciate my attention to detail and communication—I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to following all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting on both weekdays and weekends.

Nicole has helped taking care of our multiple pets, including, cats, rodents and our pet lizard. She is a warm and gentle person , specially for our shy cat that takes some time to warm up. I can trust that my pets are getting the love almost as if I never left the house. She is responsible and reliable and has been for me and my pets for over two years.

Nicole was phenomenal with our 12 year old sphinx cat. We used her to cat sit while we were our of town and when I came back, Ms. Shirley appeared to have not missed a beat. I always worry because our cat is very temperamental and needs lots of attention. She even messaged me pictures throughout the week to let me know how Ms. Shirley was doing.
