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.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and clean environment for every pet. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special care needs. I’m reliable and comfortable administering medication when needed, and I have experience caring for shy or anxious pets, always approaching them with patience and respect for their space. I’m respectful of your home and your pet’s environment, and I make sure everything is secure during each visit. I also provide regular updates so you feel comfortable and informed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priority.

Nicole was amazing! She signed on to take care of our 6 month old puppy and our aging, sick kitty - no easy task - and took care of them with tender love and care. She administered meds, cuddled with them, played with our wild puppy, and we came back to a clean and happy home. We can't recommend her enough.

Nicole really went above and beyond caring for our 3 (very needy and attention hungry!) cats. She was easy to communicate with and reliable, but what we appreciated the most was that she spent extra time beyond the minimum required by Rover hanging out with them. She sent plenty of updates with photos and videos letting us know they were in good hands, and even administered oral medication to one of our cats. We will definitely be reaching out to Nicole for future cat sitting as well as recommending her to anyone who needs care for their pets!

Nicole did a great job at house/pet sitting. She was responsive, respectful, and made the whole process super smooth. Came home to a clean house and a happy pup. Thanks Nicole!
