Pet care experience

Responsible, reliable pet sitter

I am a Licensed Social Worker whose love for helping people also extends to the animal world. I am seeking part-time jobs mainly during weekend and evening hours. I have 1 dog who my husband and I adopted from a rescue shelter in March 2020. I've also lived with cats, rabbits, and birds and would be comfortable caring for any type of pet. I am professional, responsible, and reliable and look forward to any opportunities that present themselves! Thank you in advance and feel free to ask any questions about my experience!

This is the second time we had Nicole look after our cats and she was wonderful ☺️ We have such peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.

Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat and our hamster!! She went above and beyond to make sure that Lola was given her daily doses of medications, even though Lola isn’t the friendliest cat and likes to hide from strangers. We felt so comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands.

Schedule

I currently work a full time job, Monday-Friday from 8am-4:30pm but have some time during the day for additional pet care. I work from home full time and give my own dog at least 1 walk a day, either during or after work. I spend a lot of time with my pup on weekends, taking walks and exploring different areas of Minneapolis/St Paul.

Safety, trust & environment

We recently moved into a home with a backyard but I know the importance of getting our pup out for regular walks, taking my dog for walks on a regular basis and exploring our new neighborhood has been the best! My preference is to provide care in your home/neighborhood, keeping the pet comfortable in a familiar surrounding.

Pets

A typical day

I love to try to provide activities that are mentally stimulating for my pup and would do the same for others. Being patient on walks and allowing time to explore while getting enough exercise in.

It's important for me to understand any health/behavioral concerns prior to spending time with your pet. I'm comfortable taking care of these pets but want to make sure I have all of the information necessary to provide great care.
