Gentle compassionate animal lover
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and cats. I love them both, yet I cannot deny – I am a bit partial to the majestic feline, particularly as I recently said goodbye to my magic boy, Whiz, at 14.5 years. I have four years of experience with senior and palliative cat care, and truly understand the importance of giving senior animals the attention they deserve in their golden years. I am comfortable administering medications as well as providing warm, gentle and attentive companionship and play. I am also happy to care for well-behaved pups without a bite history, and take them for park and beach adventures! My goal is to make sure your pet feels loved and attended to in the time you are away.
Reviews
Noele did a wonderful job taking care of my cat over the weekend! He was happy and relaxed when I got home from my trip. Thanks Noele!
Noele was great, she was on time and gave very clear communication, along with pictures. I would definitely utilize her services again.
Noele was awesome! It was my first time boarding Franklin and she was so thorough, had great communication, and overall took wonderful care of him. Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat sitter!!
Noele was amazing! Both of my kitties came out to play and enjoyed their time together. They looked like they were having so much fun in all their photos! They were happy and content when I came home, and they seemed comfortable and at peace when I would check on my pet cam in the evenings. It makes me happy when I know that my kitties know they have someone coming to check up on them and keep them from feeling anxious while I'm away.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I gently allow animals to greet me on their own terms to suss out their unique temperaments and comfort level with strangers. I then assess whether they would like to engage with toys for playtime, or whether a bit of physical affection, or other gentle forms of companionship, might be preferred. I ensure that water and food bowls are clean and topped up as specified by pet owner, and that medications are administered if needed. For cats, I understand the need for a sanitary litter box area, so if supplies (garbage bags, broom and dustpan) are left out by owner, I will have all I need to ensure the area is left clean.

Information Noele L. would like to know about your pet
I appreciate any heads up that an owner can give me about their pet's quirks, idiosyncrasies, or sensitivities so I can be mindful of their needs. For my own safety, I would prefer to work with animals who are up to date on their shots, and are generally well-behaved. Thank you!
A typical day
I love to give praise to animals; I have seen the transformative power of praise to animals and all beings. And playtime is so important, too - this is some pets' love languages! For cats, I'm happy to work with their preferences, whether that means swatting a few mice around, playing with the wand toy, or breaking out the catnip! Petting, brushing, and cuddling, might be next on the list, if that's what your pet is up for. In general, I like to respect their boundaries, and allow them to dictate what quality time means to them - even if that means, for shy cats, keeping some distance!

Availability
I’m finishing a remote degree, which means my schedule is very flexible. At the moment that’s my only time commitment so I have plenty of availability to dedicate to caring for animals.
