Experienced Aussie pet lover
Pet care experience
I have had pets all of my life. When our family moved from Australia 15 years ago we brought our 2 cats with us. We also have an elderly jindo/golden retriever mix who is completely adored. Since commencing in 2022 I completed close to 50 house and pet sits throughout Seattle and surrounds (with many repeat sits) through another house/pet sitting platform. All of my ratings and reviews are glowing with 5 stars across the board. Invariably I fall in love with each animal I care for and am renowned for leaving your home even cleaner than when you left it. I've also been fortunate enough to make many new friends of the home and pet owners who I have worked with, which is something else I love about this line of work. Renowned for my flexibility, I have cared for many senior animals with extra health requirements. I've looked after a range of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles and farm animals. I routinely arrange to meet with pet owners ahead of each sit ensuring that everything is set up for smooth sailing while I help with their house sit. So if you are looking to ease your mind by leaving your beloved fur-baby/babies and home in expert hands, look no further!
Reviews
Nicole has cared for my 110lb Alaskan Malamute, Nuka, several times over the last 3 years via another pet/housesitting website. I wholeheartedly trust Nicole with caring for my pet and home while we are away. Nuka is an adult shelter rescue and has his unique personality traits but Nicole has been patient with him and he is always so excited to see Nicole and her family. Nicole is flexible, communicative, self-sufficient, and each time has left our home spotless. She is our #1 choice to care for Nuka when we are away. You’re pet will be in great hands! Highly recommend!
Nicole was always a fantastic housesitter while we were away! She would text me daily with pictures of the dogs and walk our dogs at least three times a day! One time, our flight arrived later, so Nicole stayed until an hour before we got home. When we got home, the house was spectacular. She washed all the linens, and everything was clean! I was so surprised. I love it when Nic has a chance to sit since our dogs enjoy having her around as well :)
Nic saved the day for me when my previously scheduled House Sitter cancelled very last minute a two week sit that had been planned for over a month. Nic was very professional, easy to communicate with and kept me updated with texts, funny pictures and videos of Cooper and Luna throughout her stay. We even planned a 3-way video chat with my daughter in college, myself and our husky, Cooper! Both the house and my fur babies were very well-taken care of by Nic. I highly recommend Nic for house sitting, and I will definitely be calling her again in the future.
Nicole has sat for my two dogs Ruby and Pearl twice now and I can guarantee you a stress-free time away from your home and pets with this lovely lady as your pet and housesitter. She came to me with terrific reviews and I when I returned home I could see why - everything was immaculate and the dogs were happy. Nicole went above and beyond what is typically expected of a sitter, she was communicative and responsive, and always pleasant. I highly recommend Nicole as your next sitter - you won't regret it!

Safety, trust & environment
I lovingly care for your pet in accordance with all owner's instructions and requirements. I ensure that your pet receives consistent attention throughout my stay.
Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to know how your dog relates to other dogs and to their surrounds when being walked. I like to know their playing and sleeping preferences as well as any relevant details regarding diet or eating habits.
A typical day
I like to take each pet and enjoy their favorite activities with them. I am more than happy to take dogs to nearby dog parks or hikes when this is a preferred pastime for them. Playing ball or fetch or tug-of-war is always a fun option for those dogs that like. I'm also a major snuggler when pets enjoy being petted.
