Dog's Best Friend!

Hi! My name is Nicole and I am originally from Chicago. I first moved to Fort Lauderdale in 2019 to pursue my Doctor of Audiology degree. During my few years here I have created special bonds with many dogs and their owners. I have been petsitting since high school and unconditionally love animals. I have petsat dogs and cats, which included me staying overnight at the owner's homes, as well as having them at my apartment. I love to play with them and take great care of them. Out of all the animals in the world, dogs are my absolute favorite. They bring me so much joy and ever since I can remember I have always had a passion for dogs. I take care of all my client's pets with lots of love, just ask any of my previous clients! At this time I cannot have my own dog, but in a couple of years I hope to have my own!

Nicole was amazing. She walked our Doberman 2.5 miles and kept her company for a couple hours while we were away for the evening. Based on the pictures I can tell our dog loved her! We’ll definitely use Nicole again!

Nicole did a wonderful dog with our two dogs. She kept us informed and updated the entire time. We are so thankful to have found someone to love them like her own. I wish I could give her 100/5 stars. ⭐️

Safety, trust & environment

I am a very responsible person and treat everyone's dog as my own. Typically I don't leave for more than a few hours because I love spending as much time as I can with them. I have created so many bonds with pups and their owners in Fort Lauderdale so if you would ever like a reference, please let me know and I will provide some for you (:

I love to spend as much time with the dogs as I can so I do not leave them alone for long periods of time.

I would love to know a little about your dog's personality and a typical day to day routine. I like to keep the pup's on their usual schedule.
