I work at a school Monday- Friday, so my mornings are early, and I’m home in the afternoons, perfect for giving your dog attention, walks, and care. • 🏠 Leave home: 7:05 AM • 🏫 Return home: around 2:45 PM or 3:30 the latest • I live just 15 minutes from work, so I’m nearby and flexible if your pet needs extra attention before or after school hours. Evenings and weekends are fully open for walks, playtime, cuddles, and anything else your dog needs!

Home
Information Nicolette V. would like to know about your pet
I like to know as much as possible about a pet before they come into my care so I can make their experience safe, comfortable, and fun. Important details include: • Feeding schedule and diet preferences • Medical needs, medications, or allergies • Energy level, personality, and any fears or triggers • Favorite toys, games, or activities • Any routines or rules they follow at home If we’re doing boarding or overnight care, I’d love to meet your dog beforehand whenever possible. This helps them feel comfortable in my home and allows me to get to know their personality, needs, and routine so they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with your dog depends on their needs and routine, but it always includes plenty of love, attention, and care. Mornings usually start with feeding, potty breaks, and some play or cuddle time. During the day, I make sure pets get mental and physical stimulation, following any routines you provide. Evenings are full of walks, playtime, snuggles, and quiet bonding in a calm, cozy environment. I love keeping pets happy and engaged! Activities can include walks, outdoor play, fetch or tug, training or mental stimulation games, and lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I tailor every activity to your dog’s personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and part of my little pack 💛

Loving Care for Dogs of All Ages
Pet care experience
Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for years. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities from high-energy, curious puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra love. I had my own dog, Gino, for 15 years and cared for him until the very end 💛, and I’ve cared for dogs in my home as well as for family and friends, giving each one the love and attention they deserve. Because of this, I’m very comfortable following routines and giving extra care when needed. I have experience administering medications, including pills, liquid meds, eye drops, topical treatments, medicated shampoos, and basic bandaging. I’m patient, attentive, and always tuned in to a dog’s comfort and needs. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

Reviews
I can’t recommend Nicolette enough as a dog sitter. She has watched my two dogs many times and always does so without hesitation. She’s incredibly attentive and follows their routine exactly, walking them in the morning, afternoon, and night after meals. She understands their different whines and cues and knows when they need to go outside, which gives me so much peace of mind. She truly loves dogs and treats them like her own. When my larger dog was sick, she gave him his medication exactly as instructed and took such thoughtful care of him. She also had a family dog for 14 years, and as he became a senior and needed extra care, she was always on top of his medications and comfort until the very end. She is professional, punctual, trustworthy, and genuinely a safe person to leave your pets with. She always asks when she can watch my dogs again, which says everything about how much she enjoys and cares for them. I trust her completely with my dogs and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter.
I cannot recommend her enough. She took care of my dog Coral when she was just a 7-month-old puppy, and I felt completely at ease the entire time I was away. She sent frequent updates and photos, which meant so much to me and really reassured me that Coral was happy, safe, and being well cared for. When Coral developed an eye infection before I was left, she handled it calmly and responsibly—keeping me informed, following vet's instructions, and making sure Coral was comfortable. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Coral was relaxed and happy when I got back, which says everything. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter.
I have been able to go away on vacations with a peace of mind, knowing that my senior fur baby is in good hands with Nicolette! She not only takes him for walks and sends me pictures of him, showing me he’s happy, but the best is that she gives him the extra love that he needs because I’m not there. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting service! She’s warm and friendly and nurturing and I feel great knowing that Apollo is happy with her!
