Animal lover!Veterinary Technician!

Pet care experience

***PLEASE READ PRIOR TO REQUESTING*** Hello, I have been a Veterinary Technician since 2005 and I have been a pet sitter/walker for over a decade. I currently work full time (4 days/week) as a Clinic Supervisor/Veterinary Technician at an animal hospital/shelter. I work 6:45am-5:15pm Tuesday - Friday. I am very reliable and pretty flexible with times as long as it can work with my work schedule. Absolutely LOVE pets of all kinds and all sizes and ages seniors to puppies. I am very comfortable and confident administering oral or injectable medications. Very knowledgeable of most common diseases with dogs and cats so if your pet has a chronic or acute disease, that is fine with me and you can feel calm knowing that. I strive to keep your pet on their normal daily schedule and show tons of love and make them as comfortable as possible with a new person in their home and their family away. I am able to recognize when pets are feeling a little stressed and might have anxiety after their family is away and can customize my care to their needs. I will send daily updates. For overnight stays I typically send two a day, morning and night with pictures & videos (can do more on request) and for drop ins I will send an update after every drop in with pictures. Thanks for considering me, look forward to meeting you and your baby(s). *pricing is negotiable within reason* Pets must be children friendly, as sometimes I do have my 6 & 4 year old girls with me. This is a requirement so please only book if you are comfortable with smart and respectful children being around. My children have been taught how to be respectful to animals and peoples homes. My reviews reflect this.

Nicole is wonderful! She sent pictures and videos of our pets throughout her stay at our house, everyone was very well taken care of! She's a great communicator and her love of animals shows!!! We will definitely book her again for our next trip. It was such a comfort knowing our pets were happy while we were gone. I highly recommend Nicole!

Nicole was wonderful. She kept us informed on how our pets were doing and sent daily pictures. We felt totally comfortable knowing the pets and house were in good hands.

Nicole was absolutely amazing. She was communicative, flexible, and accommodating. She was early to our meet-and-great and my pup immediately fell in love with her. Throughout her stay, she sent me adorable updates (photos and videos) and always kept me in the loop. My pup requires medication (quite a few of them) twice a day and Nicole was on top of them. She was also observant to my pups physical symptoms due to her hip dysplasia and immediately asked how she could help. She stayed at the house over the holidays and remembered to give my pup her Christmas presents and sent me so many cute videos. I even think my house was cleaner when I got back then when I left. I will definitely use Nicole's services in the future and definitely recommend her.
