Loving Care for Your Furry Friends!

What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my commitment to personalized, attentive care. As a mom of two and a dedicated cat and dog owner, I understand the importance of creating a loving and secure environment for your pets. Working from home means I’m always available to provide consistent attention and companionship. I go beyond basic pet sitting by tailoring my care to meet each pet’s unique needs and preferences, ensuring they feel as comfortable and cherished as they would with their own family.

Nicole was incredible through every part of the boarding process. I have a small kitten who needed some extra attention, and in Nicole’s care she did great! I will be booking with Nicole again next time I travel.

Schedule

I’m a proud mom of two and furry mom to Yankee and Coco. I love spending time with my family, staying active in my community, and finding joy in the little things. Whether I’m exploring new places or enjoying a quiet moment at home, I’m all about making the most of life’s everyday moments. Since I work from home, I’ll be available to give your furry friend plenty of attention and care throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or yours, my approach centers on creating a comfortable and secure environment tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home, your furry friend will enjoy a cozy space with plenty of attention and interaction, as I work from home and can be there throughout the day. I maintain routines to ensure consistency, whether it’s feeding schedules, exercise, or playtime. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s established routines to minimize stress and keep them feeling at ease. My goal is to provide a loving and attentive experience that makes your pet feel right at home.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day in my home is pretty relaxed and full of love! Mornings start with a potty break, breakfast, and lots of cuddles. Since I work from home, your pup gets plenty of company throughout the day and isn’t sitting home alone for hours. We’ll have walks, playtime, backyard time, and plenty of naps and lounging depending on their personality and energy level. My pups are also part of the family while they’re here! They’ll get lots of attention from me and my family, with all interactions with my little ones supervised. Evenings usually include another walk or play session, dinner, cuddles, and one last potty break before bedtime. Basically, your fur baby gets to enjoy a little vacation of their own while they’re here—with lots of love, attention, and supervision!

Important to Keep in Mind A few things I like families to know before booking: • Your pup will be staying in my family home, so they’ll be around my children and our own pets. Safety and comfort are always my top priority! • I love getting to know each pup’s personality, routine, and quirks so I can make their stay as comfortable as possible. • I ask that pups come with enough food, medications, and any comfort items they’ll need for their stay. • Communication is important to me! I’ll keep you updated with pictures, videos, and little check-ins so you can see how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing your pup is being loved, supervised, and cared for like one of my own!
