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.

Information Nicole Y. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know all about your dog's usual routine, preferences, and house rules. I'll want to meet them, and you, to make sure we’re a good fit before we move forward!

A typical day

I love playing with dogs and spending time outside in almost any weather! I'm happy to take long walks at the dog's preferred pace, or play with their favorite squeaky toys or tennis balls in the house or in your fenced yard. For dogs without a fenced yard, they'll be on leash 100% of the time when we're outside. And for the low energy dogs, or the ones who just like pets, I'm happy to snuggle them at home.

Experienced with intense dogs!

Pet care experience

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.

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!
