Hi, I’m Nicole—and I haven’t met a dog (or cat!) I didn’t love. My experience with pets goes way beyond walks, belly rubs, and head scratches (though I’m great at those, too!). I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant, volunteered with local rescues, and spent years fostering—caring for high-energy puppies, senior sweethearts, and cats of all ages with very different personalities. From curious kittens to shy rescues, I understand how to meet them where they’re at and make them feel safe and loved. Recently, I lost my own dog after a long, beautiful life together. While that grief is still fresh, so is my desire to stay connected to the joy that pets bring. Caring for dogs and cats allows me to share my heart, experience, and home with animals who need love while their humans are away. One thing my clients especially appreciate? I thrive on last-minute bookings. If you find yourself stuck at work late, heading out of town unexpectedly, or juggling a last-minute schedule change, chances are I can step in and make sure your pets are cared for without stress. ✅ Why Pet Parents Trust Me: Hands-on vet clinic experience (meds, senior care, post-op support) Rescue & foster background with dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments Skilled in behavior reading, calming anxious pets, and earning trust quickly Communicative, reliable, and respectful of your home and routines Flexible, dependable, and available for last-minute needs I treat your pets like they’re my own—because that’s the only way I know how Whether it’s daily walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or just extra snuggles while you’re away—your pet’s happiness and well-being are my priority.
