Pet care experience

Experienced with intense dogs!

I was lucky enough to care for a series of smart, complicated rescued dogs for 20 wonderful years! I helped them through separation anxiety and resource guarding, walked and ran with them, groomed them, trimmed their nails, introduced them to other dogs, gave them medication, and took care of them in their old age. Let me bring this wealth of experience to you and your pets! I'm available for overnight dog sitting or house sitting seven nights a week, as well as morning to midday dog walks on weekends. I love being outside in nearly any weather, so I'm happy to take on energetic walkers! I have no pets of my own right now, so I can lavish all my attention on your dog! I'm happy to come to you, so your dog can feel safe & comfortable in their own home.

Safety, trust & environment

I'll come to you, so your dog can be safe and comfortable in their own home. Tell me about your dog's routine and I'll match it as closely as I can! Missing their human will be stressful enough, so I'll keep other things as stable as possible.

Nicole is a repeat dog sitter for our Gracie. She continues to be reliable, communicates well and often when taking care of Gracie. We know our dog is in good hands with Nicole.

Nicole stayed with my dog Boggs for a long stay while I was out of town. Aside from her amazing communication and status updates, I could tell Boggs was super well cared for in all ways. She made sure he was not only fed, watered, and walked, but mentally stimulated and loved on. I came to him happy, relaxed, and in great mental and emotional shape. Nicole is the best!

Nicole did an amazing job taking care of my dogs while I was away. She was incredibly communicative, sending daily updates with texts and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear from every update that my dogs were happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and care. When I came home, they were relaxed, well cared for, and everything was just as I had left it. I could tell Nicole genuinely cares about the pets she watches and goes above and beyond to make sure both the pets and their owners feel comfortable. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I wouldn't hesitate to have her watch my dogs again!
