Last Minute Pet Sitter Available!

Hello! My name is Nicole, and caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely love. With over 10 years of experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities, I've been fortunate to work with everything from dogs and cats to horses, cows, pigs, and many other wonderful animals. Whether your companion is small and cuddly or big and full of energy, I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know that life doesn't always go as planned, which is why I'm happy to accommodate both last-minute bookings whenever my schedule allows and reservations made well in advance. Whether you need someone in an hour or you're planning months ahead, I'd love to help. I'm CPR certified and experienced in administering medications and providing basic treatments, so you can feel confident your pets are in capable, caring hands while you're away. My priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for, while giving you peace of mind knowing they're receiving the attention they deserve. I can't wait to meet you and your furry (or feathered, or hoofed!) family members and provide the same love and care I would give my own.

Nicole was wonderful. I needed last minute assistance for my pup and she had no issues working within my short timeline. She did a meet and greet the next day. And kept me posted while I was gone. Even made a special trip to ensure my pup was taken care of. Will be using her again for sure!

I worked with Nicole back when she was in Buffalo NY. She helped me out for a week working with my dogs and farm animals. She was amazing. She would keep me updated and any questions she was not afraid to ask, she just wanted to make sure she had all the information she needed to take care of my animals correctly. My fur babies loved her and I am sad she moved but I would highly recommended you give her a shot. She will prove herself in minutes.

Schedule

Your pet will enjoy plenty of company and attention while staying with me! Someone is home in my household almost all day, with the exception of about four hours, so your pet will never be left alone for long periods. This means frequent bathroom breaks, regular feeding times, and lots of love, supervision, and attention throughout the day. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for just like they would at home.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home provides a secure, welcoming environment where animals can relax, play, and enjoy their time away from home. I have a small fenced-in yard, perfect for safe outdoor time, quick potty breaks, and supervised play. For pups who love to run and explore, there’s also a dog park right in my community, giving them extra space and opportunities for fun, exercise, and socialization (based on your comfort level). Inside, pets have access to plenty of toys, cozy spots to rest, and a calm environment where they can feel at ease. I offer frequent walks and outdoor time throughout the day to make sure they stay active, stimulated, and happy. Whether your pet prefers relaxing cuddles or energetic play, they’ll have a safe, enriching environment to enjoy during their stay.
