Here 24/7 for Your Loved One 🐶🐱

Hi! I’m Nicole 🐾I’m currently in the process of becoming a dog trainer 🎓🐕 I’m originally from Brazil 🇧🇷, where I graduated as a pharmacist. I recently moved to the U.S. 🌎 due to my husband’s work. Animals have always been a huge part of my life 🐶. For many years, I’ve cared for dogs and volunteered at a shelter 🏡🐾, helping rescue dogs from the streets. Those experiences strengthened my love for animals while teaching me patience, empathy, and genuine care. After moving, I deeply felt the absence of my own dog (who unfortunately had to stay in my home country) and, Instead of letting that feeling become just distance, I chose to turn it into something meaningful by sharing the same love, attention, and care with other pets. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities: from energetic and playful pups ⚡ to shy or more sensitive pets 🐕‍🦺. I always take the time to help them feel safe, understood, and truly cared for 💛. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel completely at ease, knowing their loved one is in kind, dependable hands. I also provide regular updates and photos so you ALWAYS feel connected and reassured throughout their stay 📸✨.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s comfort, happiness, and safety are always my top priorities. I know every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and what helps them feel most at ease. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, medication support, or extra patience, I always adapt my care to their individual needs. My home is super clean, calm, and pet-friendly, with a warm environment where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can feel connected and reassured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving loving care.

It can be hard finding the right person to take care of your fur babies and I'm so happy I found Nicole! She was great with my 2 dogs and 2 cats, sending detailed updates after each visit and including pictures of them all 💕 I'll definitely be contacting Nicole again the next time we go out of town!

Nicole was amazing to work with! She was quick to respond to all of my messages and took great care of my cat, Oreo. She took time to come and meet Oreo so he would be comfortable with her. I would recommend her for any and all bookings!!

Nicole has been great to work with! She is prompt in responding and addressing all your concerns and needs. I've can even notice my dog is better for me on walks because of the structured care and training that Nicole brings to her work.

Nicole is lovely! She took on our separation anxiety boy, Oslo, and did so well with him. We were sent several updates and pictures throughout the day so we could see that Oslo was comfortable, happy, and care for!

Schedule

I do my best to offer flexible availability and accommodate a variety of schedules whenever possible. Because I truly care about giving each pet the attention they deserve, I thoughtfully manage my calendar to make sure every booking receives the time, care, and presence it should. Whether your pet needs regular visits, last-minute help, or a more personalized routine, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to communicate and see how I can help while making sure it remains the best experience for every pet in my care 😊

I would love to learn about your pet’s personality, daily routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, energy level, and anything that helps them feel happy and comfortable. Please also let me know about any medications, sensitivities, fears, or special needs, so I can provide the best care possible. Feel free to share any specific behaviors, preferences, routines, or things they don’t like: the more I know, the better I can care for them 😊
