Experienced & dedicated sitter! 💖

Pet care experience

I've worked professionally with dogs for a little over 7 years in doggy daycares, rescues, and veterinary hospitals most recently. Clients over the years have entrusted me with house sitting, walking, and caring for their dogs when needed with just as much love for their pets as they give themselves! I'm well versed in animal behaviors, medical care/medication administration, training, and the needs of all different breeds of dogs. I would love to care for your fur baby of any age, size, or existing medical condition with the highest level of care, love and devotion!!

In the many years Ive known Nicole, she has always gravitated towards caring for the wellbeing and comfort of animals. Eventually she came to gain professional veterinary experience. She adores all sizes & breeds! A notable quality is dogs instinctually befriend her, or at least quickly gain trust with some socializing. Nicole finds some level of therapeutic comfort from caring for animals. She will no doubt be a reliable sitter & great companion for your fuzzy friend!

Nicole has been my go to sitter for about 6 months now, and takes amazing care of my dog while Im out of town! He gets plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, and I can rest easy knowing she knows what to do in case of an emergency. She always prioritizes making Zeus comfortable and happy when I'm gone.

Nicole is always the person I will go to when i need a pet sitter, she makes sure my puppy has plenty of play time and makes her feel really comfortable. I am always at peace when leaving my fur baby with her because I know that my puppy lily is in the best care that she can be in.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 1 year old puppy of my own who I take on long walks or hikes daily, and work on behavioral training in home with her! I mostly do house sitting in my clients home, but am willing to bring your pup to my home if they are friendly/comfortable with other dogs as my dog is very playful. I will make sure to care for your pets exactly as you would while they are in my care, as well as maintaining a tidy and clean household. Any instructions left for the most quality care will be followed exactly, plus lots of pictures and videos sent to family of our time spent together! I will always try to go above and beyond to ensure your furbabies and your home are well taken care of.

Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time about any health conditions, medications/injections, or special requirements/needs your pup may have so I can come fully prepared to provide your pet the best care possible!

A typical day

I love exploring with the dogs I care for. If your dog is high energy I'm more than happy to go on hikes, or long walks around some of my favorite trails and lakes. We can also explore the neighborhood! I love bringing my clients to new places to explore. And of course lots and lots of playtime with their favorite toys! Stimulation and fun to occupy their minds and tire the pups out is an important part of keeping your furbabies happy and healthy!

I'm able to work on this at my own pace and on my own schedule, so I have a broad range of availability to give my undivided attention to your pets with lots of time for play, snuggles and walks!
