Active and loving dog & cat sitter

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and cats for the majority of my life I have rescued my own playful puppy and kittens. I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, and am currently a nursing student at Charity School of Nursing. I'm very active and will happily take your dog for a run. My schedule is flexible and I have a variety of hours available during days and nights. I'll be available to take care of your fur baby during most holidays, including Mardi Gras! I will send you as many photos of your babies as you want. For longer term (over 4 nights) stays, I will need to have my dog available to occasionally stay during house sitting. I also have a doggy car hammock with a seatbelt for safety if driving is needed. My puppy is up to date on all vaccines and parasite prevention and is a regular at Camp Bow-Wow on Tchoup. By the way, I absolutely love cats too and have my own! I am available to take care of kitties as a standalone visit, or sleepover. I'll happily take care of your cat/kitten during dog visits with no added cost. I live in the Saulet apartments so I encourage Saulet pet parents to take advantage of my fast acting fur-babysitting whenever you need it! My pets are patients at Prytania Veterinary Hospital and Low-Cost Vet Clinic.

Nicole went above and beyond to make sure she knew everything she needed in order to take the best care of my babies! She sent very detailed updates and was extremely flexible and accommodating with any requests! She truly cared for my fur babies as if they were her own! I will definitely be using her again!

Nicole saved be during a busy holiday week by agreeing to sit for my dog Sammie after dental surgery. She was very cooperative with changing departure dates and plans. She communicated often and sent pictures through out the stay. Sammie is typically cautious with strangers but he loved Nicole and did not hide under the bed at all.

I would book Nicole in an instant! From her prep questions to communications and photos to love and care for our dogs, Nicole was wonderful, honest, and think our dogs like her more than us now.

Information Nicole W. would like to know about your pet

I love ALL pups in any shape and size :) I grew up with a Great Dane so size does not scare me. If your dog is sick/ill or has fleas, that's fine too, just let me know so I can take proper precautions with other animals. Does your pup have any triggers on walks or likes to eat anything they shouldn't? How does your dog get along with other dogs?

A typical day

I love Audubon park, City Park, and my beautiful Lower Garden neighborhood for walks and runs. I am a runner and would love to run with your pup. I have a doggy water bowl to keep your baby hydrated. I have experience implementing dog training activities and can help "tutor" your pup if you have activities you'd like him or her to catch up on while you're away. Cuddles and treats, also feeding and making sure water is full of course. Brushing, bathing, and applying flea preventative I can absolutely do!
