I work from home most days, with the exception of Wednesdays. Even then, I’m never gone for extended periods. My flexible schedule allows me to be present throughout the day for walks, meals, playtime, and companionship, and I’m always able to work around occasional meetings.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Nicole! I work from home most days, which allows me to provide a very flexible, attentive, and consistent schedule for your pet throughout the day. My husband (Kyland) is also an attorney and helps in the evenings and on weekends, so your pet will always have plenty of attention and care. We have one dog, Dela, who has a calm, easygoing personality and does great with other animals. I grew up on a farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals. I have over 15 years of house-sitting and pet-sitting experience, and I truly enjoy providing pets with a safe, calm, and loving environment while their owners are away. I’m comfortable administering medications, including injections, and carefully following any care instructions your pet may need. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I’m always happy to answer questions, hop on a phone call or FaceTime, or set up a meet-and-greet!

First time using Nicole. They provide an excellent comfy home for my Luna with nice walking paths and attention. I will definitely use them again, great sitters!

We appreciate the communication and flexibility provided esp with a late scramble with another sitter this past couple of weeks. And, most importantly, we were confident our big fur-baby was happy and taken care of with walks and more!

I felt comfortable leaving our 11-year-old dog with Nicole. I appreciated her photos and comments about Abby.
