Highlights
Pet care experience
Young professional who loves pets!
I've always been a huge animal person and honestly can't wait for the day I have my own pet full-time. Until then, sitting is the perfect way to get my fix and make some furry friends along the way! I'm an avid walker and would love a buddy to bring along, whether that's a long stroll around the neighborhood or a quick loop to burn off some energy. I grew up around dogs and cats and have looked after all kinds over the years, from geriatric dogs to multi-pet households, including pets on special diets and medication schedules. I'm careful about keeping feeding times, meds, and routines consistent, so nothing feels disrupted while you're away. I work from home, so your pet gets real company, and my building has a dog area right there, so potty breaks and outdoor time happen easily throughout the day. I love sending photo and video updates so you can see your pet is happy and having fun, and I always respond quickly to messages. I take it personally when a pet has a great stay with me. Feel free to reach out or request a meet-and-greet, I'd love to meet you both!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I highly recommend Nicole as a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet caregiver. She is compassionate and attentive, and animals are naturally drawn to her. My dog adores her! She is also very active and loves making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and playtime. I would feel completely comfortable trusting her with any pet.
Nicole is absolutely wonderful! She has watched and walked my dog Henry, and I couldn’t feel more comfortable leaving him in her care. She is incredibly dependable, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals. Henry absolutely adores her, and it’s clear that she treats him like her own. She’s great about making sure he gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love, and she always follows through on what she says she’ll do. Knowing Nicole is taking care of Henry gives me such peace of mind, especially when I’m away.

Schedule
I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine rather than being squeezed into gaps. I'm available for boarding pretty much anytime, any day of the week, since I'm home all day. That means your pet gets consistent attention, regular breaks, and company throughout the day instead of long stretches alone. I'm also an avid walker, so daily walks are a given, not an afterthought.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live alone in an apartment, so your pet gets a calm, quiet space without other pets or a lot of foot traffic to compete with for attention. My building has a shared outdoor dog area right on site, so potty breaks and outdoor time are easy and frequent throughout the day, not something that requires a big production to arrange.
