Highlights
Pet care experience
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 📸✨.

Qualifications
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. I also send regular updates and photos, so you can feel connected and reassured knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving loving care.
Ratings and reviews
I highly and enthusiastically recommend Nicole! She was such a delight during our meet and greet and during my time away, she was prompt, completed care as required, which included administering meds to my jolly big boy, and provided photos! Everything was tidy and neat when I returned and the "kids" seemed happy and relaxed.
I’m so thankful she was able to take Buddy at the last minute! She even took the time to meet with us first thing in the morning before I left for my trip, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was absolutely wonderful with Buddy—taking him on walks, giving him his treats, making sure he got his medications, and giving him lots of love and attention. I especially loved getting all the sweet pictures while I was away. It was so reassuring to see Buddy happy and well cared for. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my Buddy! I truly appreciate you and would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur baby. ❤️🐾
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!
Loved working with Nicole. Can’t wait to schedule her again. Highly recommend.
Nicole always does an amazing job and is very accommodating! I’ve booked her services multiple times!
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!!

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 😊
