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 a lot of experience walking dogs and dog-sitting, and have experience cat-sitting as well. I have assisted in training simple commands as well as some leash training. I have given medicine to dogs, cats, and small animals. I enjoy playing with all kinds of fuzzy and scaly friends!
Reviews
I always appreciate the attention Nicolle gives to my cat Margot while I am gone. She gets plenty of pets and playtime!
Nicolle was STELLAR. Not only did she leave thorough notes each day, but lovely pictures and videos that illustrated how interactive she was with our two kitty fur babies. She was gentle with them, yet playful. She followed through on all instruction. We will DEFINITELY go with her again!
Nicolle has taken care of my cat Margot on two occasions so far and has done a fantastic job! Her visits are consistent, she sends photos every time, and she takes the time to make sure Margot gets playtime and attention.
Nicolle did everything we asked and more. She prepared our elderly cat's dinners, mixed his meds, played with him,cleaned his box and was diligent about cleaning up a couple episodes of vomit. She alerted us that the gate to the upstairs was open and brought in delivered packages from the front door. She is considerate and communicated very well with us about our cat and house.

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.
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!
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!

Availability
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.
