A Cat Lady Who Loves Dogs
Pet care experience
*Note*: I work full time and I will have to factor that in when considering whether I can take a job. Thanks for your understanding! I'm a cat mom and dog lover who grew up with some very excitable standard poodles, so I'm used to big, energetic dogs! I grew up feeding, playing with, and walking them; I'm also a *very* tall girl and have the upper body strength for it! I've watched older dogs and have no trouble with remembering medications and dealing with subcutaneous injections, if needed. In addition, I am more than happy to take care of fish, reptiles, or other pets and to look after plants. And of course, I love kitties and am always happy to watch your cats as well! I have two of my own, Maki and Sakaki. Because I need to prioritize them, I generally only do overnight visits if I can take them with me (they get along with dogs and with other cats!), and I may sometimes need to decline bookings so that I don't lose too much time with them.

Reviews
Nicoletta is so swift & prompt! She even cleaned up dog poo on the lawn. I'm totally going to use her services again!
Having Nicoletta care for my cats when I’m away gives me peace of mind that everything will be well taken care of. She is responsible, dependable and she truly loves animals.
Nicoletta is so good with my two cats, even my shy baby comes out for her. She’s great about sending photos and videos and communicating about everything that’s going on.
Nicoletta is the best and takes wonderful care of my kitties
About Nicoletta B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I unfortunately cannot board animals in my own apartment. I am very conscious and observant when it comes to safety practices (i.e. keeping doors and windows locked), and I am usually up for a meet-and-greet so that I can get familiar with the animals and the place, and they can get familiar with me! If I am house-sitting, I consider myself to be a very clean and tidy person and do my best to leave the house in as good as possible shape when I depart.
Information Nicoletta B. would like to know about your pet
I would want to know allergies and how the dog interacts with other people and dogs (i.e. does your dog bark at other dogs etc). I am comfortable with all breeds, and I am not allergic to animals.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on hikes or to local parks or dog parks, if they enjoy that! I am happy to play off leash if that is something the dog is allowed to do. I will play frisbee, tug-of-war, or whatever games they like to play. As for cats, my girls both love to play with the laser and with the cat dancer, and so if your cat wants to play, I will be more than happy to oblige!

Availability
I work full-time, and I will have to factor that in while considering sitting requests. Thanks for understanding! I presently have a full-time job with the National Park Service; I live in Vallejo and commute to my office near Sausalito. I can check on animals or give walks before or after work, And I do have some flexibility with when I get into the office, but once I'm in Marin I cannot come back until work is finished. Currently I work on a 2-week schedule where I work Sunday through Friday the first week and then Monday through Thursday the second week.
