Safety, trust & environment

I am always cautious upon entering and exiting your home to ensure there are no escapees. If I am performing dog visits in a home with cats, please alert me of their presence so that I can ensure they do not run out the door while leaving to walk your pup. I sometimes bring my own leashes or equipment to add an extra element of security on our walk.

Information Nihcole A. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know where your dog normally sleeps and where he/she stays when no one is home. I will also ask about bad habits, preferences, feeding routines and anything else I need to know to keep your pup happy.

A typical day

Your dog will be treated just like they are a member of my family with snuggles, fetch, and games of chase. For cats, I adjust my approach to what they need or want. Some cats want all the love, but for others that can stress them out.

Safe and Fun Care for Your Pets

Pet care experience

Is your pup doing the potty dance while you're at work? I currently have openings for workday walks and drop in visits. I have worked mostly with medium to large breed working dogs but enjoy dogs of all energy levels and sizes. I have experience with many other types of animals as well, including cats, chickens, ferrets, mice, rats, reptiles, and horses. I can administer injections and oral medications to both cats and dogs and have puppy and kitten experience. I house sit within Castaic only. My house sitting services include overnight from 9pm until 6am, plus a breakfast, midday, and dinner drop in. I do not offer constant care house sitting services. For walks and drop ins, I can accommodate daily walks while your are working or otherwise out of the house, as well as multiple drop in visits daily to feed/water/walk while you are out of town. Let me know if you need additional services while I am there such as mail retrieval, plant watering, etc. Requested walks and drop ins will be completed within a 2 hour window starting 1 hour before the requested time and ending 1 hour after the requested time. If you need a stricter window than that or have a more flexible window than that, please let me know. I can currently only offer cat boarding services in my home. My daughters and I will deeply miss having your precious pooches in our house, adding light and love to our lives.

Nihcole took such wonderful care of Tarçın. I felt so comfortable leaving her with Nihcole, and I really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Nihcole was attentive, responsible, and made sure everything was taken care of perfectly. I would 100% book with her again!

Nicole is an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She’s able to work with my tricky, small dog. And is gentle, and caring to my older dog. I highly recommend her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
