Safety, trust & environment

I love to really get to know both pet and owner. Whether it’s that there is a specific location they like to go on walks or they have a special routine for eating. I make sure to clean whatever I’m using to prepare the meal. And I am very patient with shy animals that need some time to warm up to strangers.

Pet care experience

As a senior UCF and a passionate animal lover, I bring hands-on experience with both dogs and cats to every pet sitting in opportunity. I am also involved in STEP UCF, a club that is dedicated to training future service dogs and has given me valuable skills in reinforcing commands and working with puppies. Using I learned in my club I am able to practice obedience training, ensuring your pets receive consistent care and positive reinforcement. With a flexible schedule and genuine love for animal, I’m committed to providing attentive trustworthy care for your furry friends.

Nicole is so sweet and loving to animals. She has a heart for all animals but is especially caring with dogs. I have two dogs and one is very difficult and finicky. Nicole handles him wonderfully and even gets him to eat. I consider her a dog whisperer. I would highly recommend her wholeheartedly.

Nicole is an exceptional pet caregiver who treats my dogs, Luna and Nessi, with genuine love and attention. She is responsible, follows instructions carefully, and always caters to their individual needs. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dogs are in her care.
