Well-Recommended Sitter & Walker
Pet care experience
I am a Liberty Law student living in Lynchburg. I grew up on a farm and have many years of experience taking care of all sorts of animals. I have been housesitting and petsitting for about 8 years now. I live in downtown Wooster, and am a waitress a few nights a week but spend the majority of the day studying for school. This allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I have experience giving shots and medication if that is something that your pet requires.) I am able to provide references upon request. (Also, I’ve recently started an Instagram page - @phdpetsitter - to share the pets I get to hang out with, so make sure to give it a follow.) I recognize that my prices are higher than most. I’ve been booked every day for the past two months with several repeat clients. I will offer your pet a little “staycation” of their own while you are away. Plus I will send lots of pictures!
Reviews
Our experience with Nicole taking care of our beloved dog in her home was far beyond expectation. She is a loving, caring person and that carries over to her work as a dog sitter. It was wonderful to know that
Nicole was great with my dogs and kept me updated on how they were. Unlike some pet sitters who just “drop in,” she really spent time with them and provided excellent care!
She is very kind and caring towards the dogs! She sent a few pictures each time which was reassuring and very easy to communicate with.
Nicole has done a great job taking care of our cat in the past and while my husband and I are on business trips. We haven't used her with our puppy Paisley yet, I know we'll be calling on her in the near future!

Safety, trust & environment
I understand the importance of taking care of your loved pup as I would my own! My dog normally lives with me, but I was unable to bring her to Montgomery with me for the 10 weeks this summer. She is staying at my parents. It is so nice having someone you can trust and rely on to care for your dog. In addition, I am reliable and responsible and I take my role as a dog sitter very seriously. I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owners and I am attentive to the dog's physical and emotional wellbeing throughout their stay with me. Most importantly, I treat each dog under my care with love and care as if they were my own, ensuring that they are comfortable, safe and content during their stay with me.

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet
Before I take a new guest I want to ensure I can meet all of his or her needs. In order to do this please share the following: How does the pet usually behave towards new people that he/she has never met? Friendly? Aggressive? Playful? Shy? Have any health issues OR take any medication? Any separation anxiety? What helps soothe him/her? Habits or behaviors that are unique to him/her Typical daily schedule (food, bathroom breaks, # of walks, etc.) Is there anything specifically that causes anxiety/stress for your pet? Is your dog used to being left alone? Crate-trained? Any potentially risky behaviors? Chewing shoes or other items? What is a favorite activity that he/she enjoys? Any favorite toys?
A typical day
I have a natural ability to connect with dogs and I understand their behaviors and needs. We will play lots of games, go on regular walks and make sure your dog is getting the level of mental stimulation they need.
