Pet care experience

Growing up, we've always had two dogs in our home (plus cats!) ranging from a 20lb. mini sheltie to a 70lb. + irish setter. I've experienced all doggy stages from puppyhood (crating and potty training) to senior T.L.C. (geriatric care and comfort). I've handled post-surgical pets, medication management (subcutaneous fluid therapy, pill administration, intramuscular and subcutaneous injections), prescription diets, and minor first-aid mishaps (torn dew claws, skinned foot pads, skin allergy rashes, etc.) I'm available weekends ANY time and, during the week, afternoons after 3 pm (subject to change). So PLEASE, contact me directly for specifics regarding the days/times regarding your specific booking requirements at LEAST 2 weeks in advance from the booking dates required. If preferred, I can play with your pet inside/outside with their favorite toys, take them for a walk around their block, or just provide some love and attention while you're out of the house! I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, hermit crabs, some reptiles, and even sugar gliders! Any specific instructions regarding the care of your animal friend are definitley welcomed to be discussed. Please enquire two whole weeks before a booking for availability of services.

I’m so appreciative of how wonderfully you’ve taken care of Whiteclaw. Helping to identify her eating issues will make life so much better for her. Your vet background is a huge bonus on top of how great you are with animals. Thank you so much!!

This is the second time Nicole comes to our home to watch our kitties. We highly recommend her services as she is trustworthy and really loves and cares for the animals that she sits. We will continue to ask Nicole to provide her services every time that we need them.

Safety, trust & environment

During our meet and greet and before accepting a booking, I ask a lot of questions from pet parents regarding the care of their pets. Any specifics on schedules/routines such as dental treats or snacks during drop ins and any favorite toys or games. Even if their favorite thing is being pet on the sofa or stroked gently with their brush for a bit, anything is good to know to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you're away!😊

Information Nicole V. would like to know about your pet

Specifics on any allergies or medical issues such as arthritis/surgeries, medications, specific dietary needs, etc. Are there any temperament issues with people and/or other animals? Finally, just the basics on how you would like me to care for your pet including potty schedule, meal times, favorite games/toys, and everything else in between!

A typical day

We can take a stroll around their neighborhood and visit all their favorite sniffing spots or play and romp around in their backyard with a favorite ball or frisbee. We can relax with a good ole belly rub or enjoy a soothing brush down and maybe even a treat or two if that's OK!
