Safety, trust & environment

I live in a clean, pet-friendly, and spacious studio apartment where pets are welcome to relax and feel comfortable, including being allowed on the furniture if that’s what they’re used to at home. I always make sure the environment stays clean, safe, calm, and comfortable so pets can feel as stress-free and at home as possible while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I always focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away.

Will Treat Your Pet Like My Own

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my entire life and have always grown up around both cats and dogs, so caring for animals has always come very naturally to me. Because of that, I understand how important pets are to a family and how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care. I also have experience caring for other people’s pets, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. What sets me apart is how patient, gentle, and attentive I am with every animal I care for. I know that every pet has their own personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and anxious, cuddly, independent, young, or older. I always take the time to help them feel comfortable at their own pace and make sure they receive lots of love, attention, playtime, and care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, litter box cleanliness, medications if needed, and making sure pets feel happy and secure in their environment. I truly treat every pet like they’re my own and care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own pets.

Nicole is the best! She took such amazing care of my dogs, and I love that I always feel completely comfortable leaving them with her. Definitely book with her!
