Highlights
Pet care experience
Peace & Pawsitive Vibes
Hi there! I've grown up surrounded by dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and ages, but I've got a soft spot for wiener dogs – having been a devoted parent of them for over 18 years now! I've acquired the skills to handle specialized care with senior pets, post-op recovery, puppy training, and hospice care. And let's face it, there's no place like home, which is why I'm all about providing in-home pet care (your place or mine) to ensure your pets feel comfortable and safe. As a military family, we're no strangers to moving around, so I understand the challenges of finding trustworthy, affordable, sometimes last-minute pet care. I've become the go-to pet sitter for friends and it's been incredibly rewarding building bonds with my new furry buddies! Whether it's tiny pups or big fluffballs, playful youngsters or grumpy old-timers, I've got the experience to keep them happy and cared for. Let me be your pet's new best friend – guaranteeing fun, love, all the pets and cuddles!

Ratings and reviews
Nicole helped us out when our regular sitter was not able to. She stepped in and took care of Astro. Amazingly Astro is a very nervous shy dog around new people and he absolutely loves her. She did such a great job. We will use Nicole going forward.
We were so blessed to find Nicole to care for our pup over the weekend. It was his first time experiencing out of home overnight boarding so we were very nervous how he would do. She sent frequent updates with pictures of him playing with her sweet pups and going for regular walks which made me feel so much better! Although my pup was stressed, Nicole did everything possible to care for him and put him at ease. She even went above and beyond by washing his things and giving him a bath. I’m so appreciative of her and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat your pup like their own!
Nicole did a great job with caring after our two dogs. Both are senior and one has medication he’s currently taking that’s round the clock and Nicole did an excellent job with ensuring he got the meds he needed. This is our third time booking with her and would def book with her again. We highly, highly recommend her!
Nicole was great, she took great care of our Aussie. She was very easy to communicate with. I would recommend her
Nicole was so wonderful! A lovely home and it was clear Gimli was very cared for and loved! I would love to work with her again. Gimli has a prescription food and a couple of medications, and Nicole was totally good with that. Grateful for her care!
Wonderful sitter, took great care of my dog. Highly recommend Nicole!

Schedule
I work from home and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, so I'm available most of the time most days - including last minute arrangements when I can. I'm happy to discuss and work with you to see if I can accommodate your needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Happy to take dogs for walks, let them run around a yard, replenish food and water, give medication, play for a bit, and give them all the pets and love for drop in visits. For cats, I can change litter boxes if supplies are available depending on how long you'll be gone and can tidy up around the litter box if cleaning supplies are left out. Happy to water a plant or bring in a trash can too if needed. Dog walking can be catered to whatever your pup's preferences are. For doggy daycare, I spoiled my dog, so yours would be equally spoiled too. Walks, feedings, treats, naps, etc. can all be catered to your pup's needs.

A typical day
I like to cater to the dog's personality and whatever your requests are. I have a fenced in yard as well to toss a ball around, run around to get the zoomies out, or to lounge in and a quick 5 min walk to the beach. For seniors, I'm happy to go slow and help get up or down steps and just snuggle them and let them rest and couch rot. My 12 year old son loves helping out when he's home too!
