Highlights
Pet care experience
Passionate dog lover, genuine bond.
From the earliest memories of rescuing fragile fledglings and nursing them to health, to the countless fish named after family fishing trips, my deep-rooted connection with animals has been a constant in my life. Growing up, I was never without a furry companion by my side, which fostered a profound understanding of the importance of the human-animal bond. My journey in animal care led me to work at both canine and feline boarding kennels, where I assumed the responsibility of ensuring the well-being of our beloved furry guests. This involved everything from feeding, playing, and cleaning, to the occasional bath to ensure their comfort and happiness during their stay. In a significant chapter of my experience, I had the privilege of working at a veterinary hospital. Here, I served as an invaluable assistant to patients, primarily focusing on dogs, but also extending my care to cats, exotic animals, and even rescued wildlife. This exposure allowed me to witness firsthand the diverse needs of animals and further strengthened my resolve to provide unwavering care and advocacy for them. During my youth, I undertook the role of raising and training two family dogs, which provided me with a hands-on education in canine behavior and training techniques. Currently, I am embracing the rewarding journey of raising our newest additions, two eight-month-old brothers named Link and Odin. My passion for understanding dog psychology and behavior has been a driving force behind my success in cultivating meaningful connections between humans and canines. I am committed to continual learning in this field, which has not only enhanced my ability to communicate effectively with dogs but has also solidified my dedication to being a compassionate and knowledgeable advocate for them.

Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment. Whether I'm taking care of your pet in my own home or yours, these principles guide my approach to pet care. In Your Home: When caring for your pet in your home, I respect their familiar environment. I follow your instructions meticulously, keeping their routines consistent and minimizing any potential stress. I ensure their safety by double-checking doors, windows, and possible hazards. Your pet's trust is of utmost importance, so I engage in activities they enjoy and provide the attention they're accustomed to. Ultimately, my goal is to create an environment where your pet feels secure, loved, and well-cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole did a great job with my two cats, she showed them as much love as if they were her own. She was very communicative with me during the process. I would trust her to come take care of them again.
Nicole was fantastic. My cat loved her and she communicates very well.
Nicole is the best! She has always gone above and beyond with care for our doggy and our home.
Thanks Nicole for taking care of little Beatrice. She loved to get out and take a walk with you.
Nicole S. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Nicole was the best watching our two kitties when we had to go out of town unexpectedly. She had excellent communication, sent a bunch of pictures, and saw that they had the best time! Even our incredibly shy tabby came out to say hello, which is huge! Thank you so much again, Nicole!
