I am a recent college graduate looking to take my pet sitting from part-time to full-time! I currently am available 7 days per week. Dates marked as unavailable on the calendar have been booked for overnight stays by private clients, but if you’re nearby I’d be happy to do drop-ins and walks.

After letting the pets get accustomed to my being in their home, I’ll try to get a sense of how much attention they want and respond accordingly.

Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the following, especially on overnight stays: -Feeding schedules and habits -Walk and play habits -Any medications that need to be administered and how often -Emergency contact information, including your local veterinarian and emergency veterinarian if applicable. -Other housekeeping needs such as gathering mail, trash removal schedules, plants that may need care, and anything else you’d like me to do to maintain the house while you are gone.

A typical day

⏰ Routine: I’m a firm believer in keeping to your pet’s regular schedule. It can be stressful for a pet when their human leaves, so I want them to be as comfortable as possible! I will follow your pet’s typical exercise/play/food schedule to keep their lives as consistent as possible while you’re away. 👟 Exercise: Wether it’s backyard play, a walk through the neighborhood, or visiting a park, I always try to get your pup moving with respect to their health needs and your comfort level! If your dog doesn’t like other dogs, we will avoid them; and if they have a buddy they like to play with at the dog park, we’ll do that too! 🛌 Overnight stays: I prefer to stay with the pets in their home to keep things as normal as possible for them, and am happy to sleep anywhere the owners are comfortable with. Understanding that I am working in your home and not a guest, I make a point to strip and bedsheets, take out the trash, and clean any other areas I’ve used such as the kitchen or bathroom. You should return to a clean home as well as happy pets! 🐾 And of course, there will always be plenty of snuggles!

I love play-time and snuggles!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Nicole and I am an upbeat and energetic musician. I have grown up with dogs my whole life and absolutely love taking care of them! I also have 4 years of pet and house-sitting experience. I love dogs of all sizes -and cats- but have more experience with small dogs. While you’re away, I will let them out, as well as feed and clean up after them. I can take your babies on walks, outside to play, and give them all the love they could possibly want!

Nicole was absolutely incredible! She was communicative, gave regular updates and took incredible pictures! Scout absolutely loved her, and she left my home immaculate. I can’t thank you enough Nicole for caring for my baby like he was your own!

Nicole was lovely when we met at our meet and greet. My cats warmed up to her very quickly, even the shy one. Whenever I need Nicole for drop in visits, she responds promptly, shows up on time and completes all tasks provided. She also spends extra time making sure the kitties feel loved while I’m away. I would highly recommend Nicole!
