Pet care experience

Trusted Care for Cats & Dogs 💛

I grew up with cats and dogs, we also rescued quite a few stray cats, lost kittens - we were the family that people would call! I was a proud dog parent to a Chihuahua-Rat Terrier for nearly 10 years and have lived with Shih Tzus, Bichon Frises, Poodles, Labs, and other mixed breeds. I also had a Cornish Rex for 15 years (a hairless cat!). I love cats and dogs and am able to connect with animals to make them feel comfortable in the absence of their primary caregivers. I'd love to meet and care for your fur babies, offering peace of mind and trust while you are away.

Safety, trust & environment

Doggy Daycare: I will cater to your pet's needs. I have a dog bed next to my desk, or on my lap if they fit. If we were to set up a regular schedule, I have space to store food, dog bed, etc. so there would be no need to haul items back and forth every time. I do not keep toys or treats at home since all dogs have different diets and preferences. I'm happy to send as many pics throughout the day as you'd like! For cat check-ins: I love cats and enjoy getting to know their different personalities. I will clean litter box(es), feed according to schedule, change water, play with them and cuddle (depending on their comfort). I can water plants and/or collect mail, etc.

Nicole was a great sitter for my cat! My cat really enjoyed her visits and got lots of cuddles and pets. Nicole had great communication, and also watered my plants. I will look to use Nicole as a car sitter again in the future!

Schedule

I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, which means I'm available most of the time to walk your dog, feed, and play with them. I can also check in, feed, and give lots of attention to your cat or cats! I have a 10-year-old rescue cat from Mexico who politely ignores dogs if you have a small to medium pup for doggy daycare. I will send pics and videos to put your mind at ease. I love all animals and will genuinely care for your fur babies!

Nicole can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Communication is key - let me know what your pet's needs are! Medications, preferences during walks when passing other dogs, people/children, etc. A meet and greet is always best beforehand :)
