My schedule is very flexible. I work full-time from home, get to set my own hours outside of a few scheduled meetings, and will be sure to keep my calendar updated with dates I am completely unavailable.

About Nicolle D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always meet pets where they’re at with an understanding that I’m in their space, and that can be frightening or upsetting at first! I take it seriously when pets set boundaries - I promise I won’t take it personally if they don’t want a hug. I am insured through Pet Sitters Associates, and am happy to provide proof upon request.
Information Nicolle D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time what commands and rules you use with your pet on a regular basis so I can help normalize them. It is nice to know where their hiding spots are (if any) if they are easily startled or shy so I can check in and make sure they are okay. Knowing what their favorite toys and treats are will help us become fast friends, too! Please let me know if your pet is immunocompromised, chronically ill, not up to date on their vaccinations, or is currently struggling with an illness or infectious disease. I do not want to put anyone's pet at risk, including yours, by not taking proper precautions.
A typical day
I love taking dogs for walks - it might be more fun for me than it is for them! I’m also a big fan of tug-of-war. When it comes to cats, I am happy to just sit together and vibe if that’s what they’re comfortable with. I also love playing with their fishing pole toys!

Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Nicolle and I am so excited to be taking care of your furry friend! I have a lot of sweet pets at home, so I am attuned to the needs of all animals, big and small! I have over a decade of experience walking dogs, dog-sitting, and cat-sitting. I have assisted in training simple commands as well as leash training. I have given medicine to dogs, cats, and small animals. I enjoy playing with all kinds of fuzzy and scaly friends!
Reviews
If you need a sitter look no further! Daily routines fine tuned to your fur-baby's needs with an extra dose of love and care--Nicolle is your next booking. She will truly take time to listen to your needs and make sure you leave with peace of mind that things will continue to go smoothly in your absence. She can handle the unexpected challenges that come with animal and home care like surprise messes and clean up to administering medicines. Nicolle goes out of her way to keep you updated with progress while you're away. We feel grateful and lucky to have had her in our home caring for our kitty while we were away. Thank you Nicolle!!
Nicolle is the only sitter who our senior sourpatch kitty Daisy approves of — and Daisy is a tough customer! Nicolle is communicative, flexible, and so incredibly kind and thoughtful. Her reports are always thorough and she takes the best photos! We know that Daisy is in good hands with Nicolle!
Nicolle is amazing with our pups and we are so grateful to have her watch them for us! She is great with communication and providing photos and updates! 10/10!
Nicolle took great care of our girls and sent us detailed updates with lots of photos! Grateful for her and our pups love her!
