Safety, trust & environment

When pet sitting, I prioritize familiarity and routine in your pets own home making sure to follow any instructions given to maintain your dog’s regular feeding schedule and playtime. I can ensure to offer any love and make sure the environment is comfortable and secure to alleviate any stress and anxiety your dog may feel in your absence. When dog walking, I’m mindful of the dog’s body language, always clean up after them, and am mindful of weather conditions. I prioritize positive reinforcement and safety!

Information Nicole U. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate if I am given any specific feeding adjustments, walk routes, medications, that is specific to your fur children. I am always available to be contacted in case of any necessary changes.

A typical day

Depending on if your fur baby loves to sleep in or play all day. I will be able to adjust to different fun and physical activities they love. I am an avid hiker and love the outdoors, so I know many great parks and can also take your fur babies with me along for a nice hike.

Pet care experience

Having been surrounded by dogs throughout my entire life, I’m very familiar to the responsibilities and knowledge that comes with caring for a pet. I’ve done pet sitting for neighbors, family, and friends for extended periods of time, which has created a connection and practical experience ensuring a caring and reliable touch for your fur babies.

Anytime I go on vacation or need someone to check in on my cat I call Nicole because she is super responsible and my cat ADORES her. Usually, I am very picky about who I let into my home because you never know but my friend recommended me Nicole and I have not looked back since. She has my full trust with my home and my cat who is basically like my child to me. She is super thoughtful and responsible and any pet would be lucky to be under her care.

Nicole is my person to call if I ever need help with my parrot and dog. Both require special attention which is an obstacle for me since I travel for work. Nicole does everything right by walking the dog, playing with the bird, and giving the love my pets deserve. Nicole is very easy to work with and is always reachable when she’s working with my pets.
