Pet care experience

Trustworthy, Long-Time Pet Owner

Hello! My name is Nicole. I have cared for cats and dogs my entire life, both as a petsitter and as a cat/dog mom. I am very flexible with my services (dog walking, dog/cat sitting, feeding, brushing, cleaning, etc.) The only exception is I cannot have other animals at my home since I have a cat and she is skittish with dogs. I am just as comfortable taking your dog on a walk in the park as I am giving your feline friend some love! I am experienced with administering medicine, for my former dog needed insulin for his diabetes. I’d love the opportunity to be a trusted friend and caregiver to your pet while you are away!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do not care take pets to my home because of my cat. I always like to spend 30+ minutes with the pets so they can burn some energy and get attention! Whether that be going on a walk or running in the yard. I always ensure doors are locked when I leave and your home is the same (or cleaner!) when I leave it.

Nicole was great with Princess. I especially love the cute notes she left about their walk.
