Cottage Country Pet Care!

Currently Offering Services in Orillia, Washago, Severn and surrounding areas! I have been involved in pet care and rescue/rehabilitation work for over 15 years, and have worked with animals of all different kinds. I am comfortable managing all breed types and most behavioral challenges, aswell as dispensing medications. I can offer assistance with basic training in puppy and adult dogs, aswell as behavioural advice for cats. I have a great love of hiking and the outdoors, and enjoy spending my afternoons walking with dogs. I am not able to offer in-home boarding or daycare at this time.

I had to change our travel dates and it was painless. Nicole responds quickly making booking super convenient. And of course, she loves cats and knows how to coax out the shy ones. Terrific service all round.

Nicole took wonderful care of our 2 kittens. She took the time to coax out our shy girl and sent us lovely pics of them getting to know her. Easy to talk to, communicates promptly, and has a flair for putting cats at ease. I'll be booking with her again.

From as long as I can remember, Nicole has cared for animals of every kind (cats, dogs, bearded dragons, rabbits, birds, etc.). The older she got the more involved she got in helping animals. When she became a young adult, she started a cat rescue and she funded it by herself. To this day, she operates her own TNR rescue. She cares for all animals and will help care for them any way she can. Nicole puts animals as top priority. I would trust Nicole with my fur babies.

Nicole is a truly amazing person. I've never met someone who gives herself so entirely to the wellbeing of all animals as much as Nicole does. She has a beautiful heart and is fantastic with dogs and cats in particular. My husband and I have often sought her out when we had questions related to general pet care and hold her opinion in high regard. She is one of the most trustworthy people I know and the most skilled when managing cats and dogs. I would absolutely recommend her for anyone who needed pet care, your pets could not be in better hands.

I have adopted pets through Nicole. Her care and compassion for each animal she rescues or looks after is beyond any expectation I’ve had with anyone in the animal world. She ensured we were able and willing to look after the animal we were wanting to adopt and followed up after the process was completed. She seems to have a connection with animals that doesn’t compare to others in similar fields of animal care. I will continue to find our forever fur family through Nicole as long as she’s doing animal care ❤️

Nicole is one of the most trustworthy people I know. She is so incredibly compassionate. She is the only person I would trust with my pets. Her life has always revolved around her love for animals. She single handedly has helped the community of stray cats. She worked with a vet to trap neuter and release feral cats. She’s taken in strays - even when she shouldn’t have - and has fostered and rehomed hundreds of cats to their forever homes. I have never met anyone that has the love and desire to care for animals like she does. Honestly, I bet she loves animals more than people!! If you’re planning on trusting someone with your pet - you can’t pick a better person.
