Pet care experience

I can’t wait to watch your fur-baby

I am different from other care takers because I will actually play with your dog and make sure that they are happy, rather than just meeting their basic needs. In addition to dogs, I am comfortable caring for many types of animals, looking after properties, watering plants, collecting packages and handling anything that may arise during your time away.

Nicolette was so amazing with my dog! She sent us pictures everyday and always kept us updated. She played with him outside and made sure he had lots of attention, also taking care of his medicine and cone perfectly! He had gotten surgery only a few days prior when we dropped him off and I couldn’t have been more comfortable with him in her care. Definitely recommend!!

Nicolette did a great job with my energetic lab puppy! He came back tired from fetch and made some other dog friends as well. She sent me photos and was super quick to respond, flexible, and easy to work communicate with!

Schedule

I recently finished a grad program and am currently studying for a big exam. Playing and caring for dogs is the ultimate study break and something I can easily add into my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I use common sense and responsibility while caring for your dog in your home or elsewhere. I have spent 13+ years caring for dogs of my own and I have also spent a year taking care of a senior which required agility and attention.

A typical day

A typically day of activities really depends on the pet(s) that I am watching. I always love to do multiple walks a day and let them run around the yard or play fetch and tug.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
No females in heat
Nicolette can host up to 3 pets per night
I love to know any useful piece of information about the pets that I am watching. Do they like to run away? Any health issues? Can they eat scraps? Any tendency to be aggressive?
