Pet Care and Comfort
I love all animals. I grew up with all different types of animals (dogs, cats, snakes, rabbits, guinea pigs, lizards, and more), so I am comfortable around almost all animals. I believe pets are part of the family, and I would be honored to take care of your furry and non-furry companions.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a cat at home. She has a water fountain and automated dry food feeder so she gets fed automatically while we are away during the day, and she gets a small container of wet food each morning before we leave for the day. Her cat litter gets changed every other day. I also have a bearded dragon at home who is fed veggies every other day, and different insects 2-3 times a week. Her cage does not require daily care, but anytime she has droppings, they are cleaned up right away, and she gets a nice wipe down of her tiles inside of her cage once a week. She also gets fresh water every other day. Our rabbit gets her food bowl filled up about half way every other day, and fill her water bottle up every other day. She has a litter box that should be scooped every other day into the litter genie.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole is the best sitter I’ve ever encountered-I love her and so do my cats! She really bonds with and pays attention to your pets and your home. She did an incredible job, everything is so clean and thoughtful and the cats had a great time with her. I’m so glad to be working with her-I can travel without any anxiety about their well-being, both physically and emotionally.
Nicole was absolutely wonderful with my very shy cat! She was timely with her check-ins, reliable with the meds my cat gets in every meal, and even managed to convince him to come out of hiding to say hello within a span of three visits, which I think might make her the first non-family, non-vet person he's actually interacted with since we adopted him years ago! Will be booking with her again in the future and 100% recommend.
Nicole is an absolute life saver and takes great care of my pets! I needed an emergency last minute additional drop in visit and began to message her to ask about it and realized she had already offered to drop in again if needed as she knew we were traveling back home that day. Would recommend her to anyone in need of pet care.
Nicole was wonderful with our cats!
Nicole is truly one of the most responsible cat sitters I’ve ever had. She is incredibly patient and attentive every single visit, and she never misses a single task I ask her to do. Her detailed care and reliability make me feel completely at ease leaving my cats with her. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust so fully.
Nicole is great!!! She was incredibly reliable and responsive and made me feel really at ease that my cat was being taken care of while I was gone. 10/10 definitely recommend!

Schedule
I work Monday-Friday from 8:30am-5:00pm, so I would be able to stop and visit and care for your pets either before or after work during the weekdays, and weekends are more flexible. I work in downtown Ithaca and have some flexibility and could possibly accommodate daytime visits during the week as well (during my lunch break).
