Nicole can care for
Availability
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).

About Nicole Z.
Communication

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.
Information Nicole Z. would like to know about your pet
I have experience caring for pets with medical needs including administering medicine. Please let me know ahead of time if your pet(s) need additional care other than feeding, bathroom and playtime.
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs for a walk, especially during nice weather. I enjoy playing with cats and their laser, wands, balls and any other toys they enjoy. I always love giving scratches, pets and cuddles to any animals that enjoy that?

Pet Care and Comfort
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Nicole has watched our cats on two extended stays and both times she kept us extremely well-informed including updates on their food intake, sent fun photos, etc. I highly recommend her.
Nicole is the best! Highly recommend for anyone looking for animal care in the Ithaca area!
Nicole was wonderful and really put my mind at ease during my week-long trip. I appreciated how communicative she was, and her detailed info about how the visit went. My two cats were comfortable with her and when I came home, they seemed perfectly happy! It was also super hot the week she took care of them, so knowing there was a reliable, caring person on hand to help if something went wrong was reassuring. Thank you, Nicole!
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.
