Hi, I’m Nicole — your pet’s new best friend! I’m a longtime pet owner and animal lover offering both dog walking and pet sitting services. I care for dogs and cats of all personalities and sizes, including those who are shy, reactive, or just need a little extra patience and understanding. I provide care in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their own space while you’re away. I’m big on communication — you’ll always get regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and safe. Whether it’s a daily walk or overnight stay, I bring years of experience, calm energy, and genuine love for animals. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family!

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

I had 2 reactive dogs who could not be with other dogs even on walks it was something I always had to be on alert about. If you have any specific concerns with your furbaby and their behavior we can find safe ways to work around it. Please feel free to check my social media pages on Facebook and Instagram for great content and information! @homeandheartpetcare

A typical day

If your furbaby likes long walks we can take a stroll around town or if they are more into kicking back and relaxing we can sunbathe on the deck!

Pet care experience

Although they are no longer with me my boys were my everything and they taught me a lot. I grew up around animals my whole life and love spending time with them especially when they love to snuggle!

Nicole was great with my three dogs. She is very responsive and helped when I asked her to set up a couple of things in preparation for our return as we were surprising my stepson with a few little treats!

We cannot be more pleased choosing Nicole to take care of our fur baby, Zoe. From the moment we met her, we felt like she was part of our family and she gravitated immediately to Zoe. Her experience, compassion and love of animals led us to our decision. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Nicole ❤️❤️❤️

Nicole is amazing. I’ve never been so comfortable being away from my animals. Exceptional care no complaints.

Nicole made us feel so at ease in leaving our pets at home for the first holiday in our new house in a new town. The peace of mind in keeping them where they’re comfortable is everything. Thank you so much!
