Pet care experience

Hoping to care for your fur babies!

I grew up in a big dog home, with dogs of all sizes and breeds (we always had 2-3 dogs in the home at a time). I have experience caring for puppies, including crate and potty training, as well as middle-of-the-night potty breaks for very young pups. I additionally have cared for very old and sickly dogs, as well as caring for Stella, one of my current dogs, following her ACL surgery. I am very experienced in dog training, teaching another one of our dogs tricks like playing dead and “speaking” on command. I hope to bring some of these experiences to help care for your fur babies:).

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment, so pet care would likely have to happen in your home! I am very good with schedules for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I grew up with coyotes in the field behind my home, so I always go outside with dogs when they are let out, and have a trained eye for spotting potential predators!

This was my second time booking Nicole. She was just as reliable and thoughtful as the first time!

Nicole did an exceptional job caring for my dog and my cat (last minute!) while I was away. She gave them each their daily meds and sent me daily updates. She also took care with the house, checking in about finding a towel to protect the hardwood floors from snow tracked in when it snowed unexpectedly and even laundering the guest bed sheets before she left. I'd leave six stars if I could :)

We (and our dogs) loved having Nicole sit for us. She is an excellent communicator and took care of our pups like they were her own. I’d absolutely have her stay with our dogs again—and based on their lukewarm reaction to us coming home, I think they’d like to see her again too. 🤣

As an owner of multiple pets (two dogs currently), there is no one that would rather have watch my pets than Nicole. Kind, compassionate, and an “animal whisperer” would be my best description. She will treat your animals as well as you do, or better. I’ve lived it.
