Loves all types of animals!
Hello, fellow animal lovers! I'm Nicole, a 5th grade teacher, and animals have been an integral part of my life since I can remember. From my earliest childhood memories to the present day, I've shared an unbreakable bond with these incredible creatures. With a heart full of love and a lifetime of experience, I'm here to provide top-notch care and attention for your furry companions. 🐶 A Lifelong Connection: Growing up with dogs instilled in me a deep appreciation for their unique personalities, unwavering loyalty, and boundless love. Over the years, I've had the privilege of caring for various breeds, from energetic pups to wise old souls, and each one has left an indelible mark on my heart. This lifelong connection has fueled my passion for ensuring that every dog receives the love, care, and companionship they deserve. 🌟 Tailored Care: Just like us, every dog has unique needs, preferences, and quirks. I understand that no two dogs are the same and pride myself on providing personalized care that caters to their individual requirements. From dietary considerations and exercise routines to specific medications or special needs, I ensure that your dog's well-being is always my top priority. 📷 Moments to Treasure: I know how much you miss your furry friend when you're away, which is why I make it a point to keep you connected. Through regular updates, including photos and videos, I'll capture those precious moments, from playful antics to serene nap times. You can rest assured that while you're apart, you'll still get to witness the joy and happiness radiating from your pup's face. 🐾 A Loving Partnership: I believe in fostering a strong partnership with you, the dog parent. Clear and open communication is key, and I encourage you to share any concerns, preferences, or specific instructions you may have. Together, we can create a seamless and enriching experience for your furry friend, ensuring their time with me is filled with love, fun, and a sense of belonging. 🌈 Beyond Dog Watching: Being a lifelong pet owner, I understand the challenges and joys that come with caring for our furry family members. I'm here to offer support, advice, and a friendly ear to listen whenever you need it. Whether it's recommendations for the best dog parks in town, training tips, or just sharing stories about our beloved pets, I'm dedicated to building a community of dog lovers who can lean on each other. 🐾 When you entrust your dog to me, you're not just hiring a dog watcher – you're inviting a true friend into your pup's life. With a lifetime of love, compassion, and firsthand experience, I'm committed to providing a nurturing and enjoyable experience for your furry friend. Together, we'll create lasting memories and ensure that your dog receives the utmost care and attention they deserve. Let's embark on this wonderful journey of canine companionship together! 🐾

📷 Regular Updates: I understand how important it is to stay connected with your dog, even when you can't be there. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to share in the precious moments of your dog's daily life. You'll receive real-time updates on their activities, adventures, and overall well-being, so you can feel connected and reassured. 🔐 Trust and Reliability: Entrusting your dog's care to someone else is a big decision, and I take it seriously. I'm committed to building a relationship based on trust and open communication. You can rely on me to be punctual, responsible, and respectful of your home. Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I will always go the extra mile to ensure their well-being.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole is an outstanding provider of care and companionship! Our senior cat needs special attention and Nicole was very kind and attentive to him. We felt confident while we were away and would not hesitate to have her take care of him in the future. Thank you, Nicole!

Nicole was terrific! Prior to booking, we did a meet and greet and then one day before actually starting, she came to the house to go over logistics of how to get into the house, how much to feed Lucy, learn more about Lucy's quirks, etc. While we were away, Nicole sent a couple of update texts (including photos) each day (which allowed us to just relax and know that Lucy was in good hands!) We would definitely recommend Nicole R. if you are looking a caring cat sitter.

Nicole took excellent care of our anxious little Chihuahua mix Alistair. She is a great communicator, responsible, flexible, and true pleasure to work with—we’ll absolutely look to book her again!

Nicole is conscientious and caring. She went out of her way for me. You can feel confident that she will follow your instructions and look out for your pet’s best interest.

Nicole helped me out with some dog sitting when I came into town for a wedding. Her communication was great throughout the entire process. I was a little nervous about the whole process, but Nicole was amazing and exceeded My expectations. My shy, timid dog loved her and I was able to enjoy the wedding knowing she was in good hands. Thank you, Nicole!

Nicole is a true animal lover of both cats and dogs. She took great care of Charlie the Cat while I was away.
