Will welcome any pet with love!

Pet care experience

I am very accommodating on walks; if a high-energy dog wants to run through the fields we pass, I will run with them, and if a senior dogs wants to sniff every post near the sidewalk, I will wait patiently. I do not tug on collars but guide dogs with my voice. I am very alert to their needs and am willing to spend as much time on them as necessary. I also love playing with pets, and am happy to learn about their favourite toys and treats that we can play with. I am new to mental enrichment for dogs but have learned a lot about it recently and am very open to challenging a dog’s senses and abilities! I love to cuddle and sit with pets if they want the attention, or leave them be if they are more independent. I have a very good memory and learn quickly, so I am great at following instructions, sticking to a routine, and recognizing patterns and behaviours in your pets.

Nicholetta is fantastic! She’s watched our cats a few times and the cats are always well taken care of. She sends lots of pictures and updates on how silly that cats act when she’s there!

Nicoletta was responsive to all of my messages and did a great job caring for my 2 cats and 2 rabbits! She took so many cute pictures and it was clear that all of my legs enjoyed her attention. My rabbits have previously been a bit overlooked by other sitters and it made me very happy to see them get the attention they deserve.

I was nervous leaving my cat for the weekend, but I was very happy with all the details and pictures Nicoletta provided every time she visited! My cat really seemed to love her company!

I have a fenced yard, which is rather small, but a wonderful neighbourhood to walk through! I go for a walk or two every day and know the area very well, and would have no problem including a dog. I have lots of space in our unit, and a pet-friendly couch and bed to keep your pets as cozy as possible if they stay with me. I have two pet rats, very curious and friendly creatures, who remain caged most of the day and would definitely provide some excitement and curiosity to any friendly pets!

Information Nicoletta O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know as much as you can about your dogs! I love to hear about their favourites toys and foods, their favourite walk routes, and anything else that gets them excited. I like to know a dog’s personality beforehand, but that’s only to best handle them during our time together. As for things I think it is necessary for me to know, I would appreciate information about any special needs, odd behaviours, or medications they may take that will affect my care for them. I have experience will all these things so it is not a deterrent at all, but rather something I’d like to prepare for!

A typical day

I will play with your pets as long as their hearts desire, take them through the neighbourhood to explore the nearby parks and gardens, make sure they are well fed and well hydrated, and provide a welcoming place for them to rest.

I’m taking a year off from my studies, and working on personal growth and career development. This means I will have plenty of time during the week to care for pets of all shapes and sizes!
