Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy letting pets play freely but, I am very observant and will watch them like a hawk. But while in your home, privacy and respect for your space is my number one concern. I am very respectful of boundaries and will follow any rules put in place.

Nicole was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our two anxious dogs, and we couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving them in her care. She was incredibly patient, attentive, and clearly understood their individual needs, which meant so much to us. She also took wonderful care of our home, kept us updated with messages and photos throughout our trip, and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. Those updates gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful for everything Nicole did and would recommend her without hesitation. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future!

Nicole R. went absolutely above and beyond while caring for my cats, Buggy and Cuddles! From the moment we met her, I knew they were in loving and trustworthy hands. She gave them exceptional care, attention, and affection, and it truly gave me peace of mind while I was away. One of the things I appreciated most was that she sent me pictures of Buggy and Cuddles every single day, and seeing how comfortable, relaxed, and happy they were meant the world to me. It was so reassuring and showed just how much she genuinely cared about them. What impressed me even more was all the thoughtful extra things she did around the house that I never even asked her to do. That level of care, professionalism, and kindness is rare to find these days. She treated my home and my babies as if they were her own. Nicole is truly top notch, dependable, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. I cannot wait to use her services again, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their pets. Thank you, Nicole, for being so amazing to Buggy and Cuddles!

Nicole was again a top-notch sitter for our three pets. There is no one else I feel more comfortable leaving our animals with while we are away. Nicole goes above and beyond to make our pets comfortable in every situation. She is skilled with our reactive, anxious dog, and he just adores her. We are forever grateful for Nicole and look forward to having her sit for us again!

This is the second time we had Nicole watch our dogs. She is very dependable and the dogs love her of course. She sends photos throughout her stay.

Let me know special requirements ahead of time so I can be best prepared. It would also be helpful to know what type of personality or triggers your pet has so I can properly handle them!
