About Nicole R.

Safety, trust & environment

I am open to any care needs you specify! Just let me know how I can help, and I will do my best to treat your beloved pets with as much love as I treat my own. Walks, play time, park visits, medication, senior care, and more are all within my skill set.

Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs. I have a senior dog and a senior cat of my own, so I'm very understanding and able to accommodate different energy levels, temperaments, and abilities, as well as dispense oral medications as needed.

A typical day

Your pet and I can go for a walk, play in the backyard, or just receive tons of love and pets! Whatever they like to do, I like to do!

Lifelong, Responsible Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I'm a friendly and trustworthy adult who is looking for occasional pet sitting or pet care jobs. I am responsible, I love animals, and I'm a pet parent myself. I grew up with cats and dogs as beloved family members, and am living the same as an adult, with a small family including a black cat, a basset hound, and a yellow lab mix. I promise to care for your home and pets as if they were my own. Any questions or special requests, please contact me to discuss. Thanks for your consideration!

I have observed Nicole care for cats and dogs for over 10 years and she is extremely patient compassionate and responsible. I would trust her with the care of any animal, knowing that they would be in capable and careful hands.
