Depending on your animal's needs we can go for a stimulating walk, to the dog park, play with toys indoors or just hang on the couch. I will try to stay as close to their regular feeding/potty schedule as possible.

Pet care experience

I cared for my perfect rainbow bridge doggo for 10 years. He had special medical needs, so I have lots of oral care experience. In addition, I have been walking dogs for a few months, with about 30 walks, 20 drop-ins, and 3 sittings. Spending time with animals is my happy place. I'd do this for free if I didn't have bills!

Nicole made friends with my cat, who was badly traumatized before I adopted him and who has a long history of hiding from sitters. And if he's happy, I'm happy! I'll definitely book her again.

She kept my pups happy

Nicole absolutely loves animals and takes great care of them. She treats them with respect and love and talks to them like they are her children. I've witnessed her give medications on time, go for walks with dogs, house animals that had no place to go, and figure out a way to give medicine to a cat that did not want any medicine. Her animals got the best medical care possible. If I ever have an animal in need of care she is the first person I would think of to help. Not only would she be great working with animals but she would truly enjoy it. The animals will truly enjoy being with her too.

Nicole is great with animals. She's taken care of my dog. She always makes sure he feels loved and at home. She's very caring and very responsible.
