Home
Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet
Before a visit, it’s helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs. I also appreciate details about their personality, energy level, favorite toys or activities, and any sensitivities or triggers. For cats especially, knowing how they prefer to be approached, handled, or played with helps me build trust quickly. Any information about medications, litter preferences, or behavioral quirks is always helpful to ensure the best possible care.
A typical day
A typical visit is tailored to each pet’s needs and energy level. For cats, this can include interactive play, enrichment games, and time to run, jump, or explore, followed by calm companionship if they enjoy it. For dogs, I focus on walks, playtime, and exercise appropriate to their routine and age. I always make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and that litter boxes or living areas are kept clean. I also spend time observing behavior and giving attention so pets feel comfortable, engaged, and cared for while their owners are away.

Personalized Care for Cats & Dogs
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m new using this platform but I’ve always had dogs in my care and now have a very active Bengal kitten at home, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and understanding their different needs. I grew up in a household with dogs of all sizes (from large breeds like Rottweilers to small breeds like Yorkies) which has given me experience handling a wide range of personalities and energy levels. I’m used to high energy pets, daily play and exercise, maintaining clean spaces, and adjusting care based on each pet’s personality. I focus on patience, routine, and making sure every pet feels safe, engaged, and well cared for while their owner is away.

Reviews
Nicole has looked after my cat twice now and she has exceeded my expectations both times. He loves her! She sent me great pictures of the fun they had together and made my time away from him much easier with the peace of mind he was being loved on. Thank you Nicole! -Frankie and Enzo
