Availability

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 😊

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.

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

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 😊

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I always shape the day around their needs and personality. Energetic pets may enjoy walks, playtime, and fun activities, while calmer or senior pets may prefer a peaceful environment, gentle attention, and cozy rest time. Some pets need extra affection, some need space, and some simply need consistency and reassurance. I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, relaxed, loved, and happy while they’re with me.

Pet care experience

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 📸✨.

Nicole was so sweet and so good with my dog! Left detailed notes after each visit and I would absolutely have her check in on my girl again!

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!

Nicole has been absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Indie and Kava. From day one, she’s been reliable, punctual, and such a great communicator—something we truly value and don’t take for granted. She always keeps us in the loop and goes above and beyond by sending multiple pictures during every walk, which honestly makes our day every time. It’s so clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs. Indie and Kava adore her, and we feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such kind, attentive hands. She doesn’t just “walk” them—she spends quality time with them, makes sure they’re happy, and treats them like her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and truly passionate about what they do, Nicole is it. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her! 🐾
