Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard. I have two dogs of my own who can easily adapt to your baby with proper introduction :-). I have kids who have learned to respect all animals. You do not have to worry about kids hanging on your pet or pulling their tail. Animals respect is first and foremost in our household. I also have two birds. They are out most of the day but stay perched or hang out on my shoulder.

Pet care experience

I have LOTS of experience handling and caring for dogs and cats (and birds). I am the person that everyone calls when they see an injured animals or lost pet roaming the streets. My love for all things furry (and hairless too) is beyond measurable. I am ready to house your loved one and make sure they are safe, warm and fed. Want a photo of your baby? No problem! Want a video of your baby? No problem! I can guarantee your furry friend will love staying over and visiting me/my family.

I have known Nicole for 15+ years and her love for animals doesn't go unnoticed. Caring for animals of all shapes and sizes has become a part of who she is. From countless times of pulling over on the side of the road to help a stranded animal to going to the local humane society to see if there are any animals in need of rescuing-- she has (and always will) show compassion for these animals. I highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a compassionate person care for and love ANY animal as if they were her own pet! : )

Nicole has been my go-to person whenever I need pet-sitting. From dogs, to cats, to fish she always provides excellent care to all my animals throughout the years, giving me daily overviews when I like. She is caring, competent and trustworthy! 100% RECOMMENDED

In all of my interactions with Nicole, she has been kind, caring and loving of her animals and any animals around her. I’ve met/seen her pets and they’re more than sufficiently loved and cared for. I think she’d be an excellent choice for care when it comes to your fur babies!

Nicole is one of the most caring, dependable, and trustworthy people I know. She genuinely loves animals and treats every pet with the same kindness and attention she would give her own. She is very responsible, patient, and always goes the extra mile to make both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I would have complete confidence leaving my pets in her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Chris Parrish
