your dog & cat’s future best friend

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid, when we got our first family dog (who is now 17 years old!) shortly thereafter, I got my first cat (now 14 years old), and while living in Germany, I adopted a second kitten, a stray, now 8 years old. I recently adopted a Beagle baby out of medical testing. She has become the biggest joy and love of my life! 🥰❤️ I also foster dogs quite frequently, to show them what it’s like to be a part of a real, loving family prior to being adopted into theirs. Is it weird that I like animals more than humans sometimes? 😂 I’m very well versed in caring for senior dogs and administering medication if necessary. I have a lot of repeat clients with senior pups who unfortunately need a ton of medical intervention and I am happy to make sure their needs are met🩷 this also includes dogs of any age/size that have any sort of special need.

I seriously wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dogs. Nicole is the most selfless, caring person I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. My dogs absolutely love her & her attention to detail is unmatched. My dogs have special needs and she went above and beyond to make sure they were well cared for. Highly recommend Nicole - we will certainly be back!

Nicole was incredible and seemed just as obsessed with my dog as I am which is always reassuring when using a new care provider. She left great notes and super cute pictures from her drop in visits. Her communication was also top notch. My dog seemed very comfortable with her and given that she can be a bit wary of strangers, this meant a lot. Nicole is a consummate professional and I would recommend her to anyone!

Nicole did a great job and Kensley got along with her right away. It’s obvious she makes dogs feel comfortable and really cares for them. I will hire her again to doggy sit anytime.
