Reliable & Trusted | WFH Attorney

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.

Nicole was so amazing with our dog, Nellie! This was our first Rover experience, so of course I was nervous, and Nicole sent frequent photos and updates of Nellie. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be rebooking!

Nicole made me feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with a meet and greet, and then later after drop-off, sending pictures immediately after we left of our Jack settling in with her dog. I felt so relieved and could enjoy our vacation! She checked in and sent pics regularly. Our highly active Jack was well exercised and crashed out when he got home! I will definitely use Nicole again!

Schedule

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.
