Information Nicole Z. would like to know about your pet

I like to follow your routines to stay consistent with your pet. Feeding instructions, medications, where things are, are things I like to know beforehand. Leaving notes is always a great idea. Especially if you have certain needs or wants.

A typical day

I will make sure your pup get lots of exercise. Whether it's walking or jogging the neighborhood, fetch in the yard or lazor pointer in the house. I love going to parks or certain scenic destinations. We will always stay busy! I also love the cuddles, snout and belly rubs before I leave. I promise they will get plenty of love!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of all pets since childhood 35+ years. Professionally and personally. I truly believe animals are where I'm suppose to be in life! Im very reliable as this is what I do full-time. I have flexibility to change my schedule as needed. I do house sitting, dog walking/visits and cat visits with lots of play, exercise and love. I can provide professional references on request. At this time, I can do 1-5 overnight stays per booking.

She dealt really well with my somewhat shy kitties.

A very reliable lady with a heart of helping. And a great communicator. I feel always in the loop as to her experiences with my pet.

This is the third time Nicole has cared for our cat, Cheeto, while we’ve been away. We always get good updates, we come home to a tidy litter box, and this time we even came home to a cat who wasn’t mad at us after 10 days away. He was happy to see us but contented. Will continue to ask Nicole to check in on Cheeto whenever we’re away!
