Flexible Weekday Walker & PetSitter

Hello there! My name’s Nicole — I am a big time animal lover with a desire to make taking care of animals my full-time job! Apart from having a deep passion for animals, I am also an avid runner, cycler, and artist. In my spare time, you'll find me going on long strolls with my own dog, Bruce, working on a watercolor painting, or making jewelry. I am currently in the process of obtaining my dog training certification and hope to eventually introduce those services to this platform. I have often been relied upon by family and friends to care for their pets and find a lot of enjoyment out of making sure these animals are cared for, while their paw-rents are away. I love being able to provide pet owners with a sense of peace while they are on vacation, knowing that loving and attentive care is being provided to their pets. I live an active lifestyle and have the stamina for longer dog walks and at various points in the day if needed. I am also knowledgeable and comfortable with properly putting on and fitting various dog collars/walking gear, whether it is a harness or prong collar. I have a dog myself — his name is Bruce, and he comes with some behavioral issues that I am properly equipped to handle — reactive/fearful tendencies. Therefore, I am pretty confident handling any dog temperament. I am punctual and organized and am able to keep calm and remain unflappable during stressful situations. I am honest and am happy to send daily photos and updates of your fur babies. I also promise to respect the space of the pet owner and understand the responsibility and trust I am given when asked to care for the animal and the home in which they exist in. Shoot me a message, and I hope to add your pup to my little pack! (or cat or even bunny or lizard -- I have experience with bunnies and reptiles as well!).

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to clean food bowls after every feeding. Water bowls are cleaned and refreshed daily. Litter box if applicable is attended to daily. Cats and dogs are provided with play time and love. Dogs are fed in their crate in case of any resource guarding tendencies. I am only gone for about 5 hours at a time, so that would the longest a dog will be left alone in my home. I only request that the dog is crate-trained.

Nicole did a great job taking care of Willa! My dog is very shy with newcomers and takes a long time to warm up - Nicole was very patient and won her over quickly. I received lots of photos and videos, and my apt was super tidy when I returned. Warmly recommend!

Nicole was great with our cat Wayne who is on the shyer side! She was communicative, on time, and was great at giving him his space while still making sure he was well cared for while we were away. Would definitely recommend Nicole for your pet sitting needs!

I am open-minded and do not have preferences about what sort of animal I care for — my dog has behavioral issues that I successfully been able to navigate, so I am pretty confident in my ability to assist in any situation.
