Pet care experience

Born to love all animals.

I am an animal lover. I have had animals my entire life ( cats, dogs, snakes, tarantulas, lizards, fish, turtles, and chinchillas). I understand the responsibility it takes to care for all animals . I am very patient and show compassion to the needs of all animals. I am currently the owner of 3 cats and a dog. I find being around animals very relaxing. I enjoy playing with them and look forward to making a connection with the animal so that it feels safe and joyful. I also have a great understanding to the different temperaments of all animals. I would love for the owner and animal to feel that their in good hands at all times. I will follow all the rules and wishes that the owner feels necessary for their animals to feel safe.

Stan was very relaxed when we returned from our trip! Nicole was undeterred by the bad weather.

Nicole was very patient and understanding with our anxious cat who usually is stand-offish/reactive and hopped in Nicole's lap on day one! She has a lot of experience with cats in particular and understanding of specialized needs. Would definitely book her again!

I highly recommend Nicole. She took care of my 3 cats while away for 1 week. She made sure they were all fed and well cared for- sending me video updates. By accident my cleaning lady let them out but Nicole made sure they all came safely home. When I arrived home the place was spotless.

Pets

A typical day

I love to just be with animals. I enjoy playing with them to keep them busy and wanting more. Whether it’s playing with the ball, sticks, or just running around with them. I normally take my dog on a trail by my house, just to explore new places for him.

I would like to know what foods they can or can’t not eat based on the owner’s preferences. If they are good around other animals and people/children. Also, If they have any medical conditions so that if an emergency arises, I can act accordingly.
