Loving, attentive & responsible!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I've been an animal lover all my life and I couldn't imagine time better spent than with a pet! Any time I spend with a furry friend is 100% focused on them, whether it's taking him/her on a walk around the neighborhood, playing fetch at the dog park, or simply sitting on the couch for snuggle time. I love on every animal I care for as if they are my own. I am an extremely responsible and communicative person by nature, so I will always be fully available, responsive, and proactive during the time that I am caring for your pet. Please don't be afraid to ask questions and reach out any time! I am also constantly learning about best practices for dog and cat care - from feeding and playing to training and grooming. I do this because I want to provide the best care possible for my clients (and for my own two dogs, Juniper and Pepper). Please contact me so we can discuss you and your pet's needs so I can put together the perfect boarding visit, housesitting stay, drop-in visit or walk to make sure you are comfortable and your pet gets the best care possible. I look forward to hearing from you. __________________________ **FYI - For New Clients** I require meet & greets before accepting any new clients or pets, and will only accept bookings from new clients booked a minimum of 48 hours in advance before the booking is scheduled to begin. This allows us to have time to meet and discuss pet care. I may be able to accept last-minute, emergency requests from new clients based on fit and availability, and a surcharge may apply. This does not apply for any existing or repeat clients. __________________________

Nola was incredibly thorough and kept me very updated on my senior Jack Russell Terrier. She managed his insulin injections and routine handily. My home was just as I left it, and it gave me such peace of mind having her stay with Leo! Will hire her again!

Nola has been the only person we have ever trusted our kitties with for years. She is the kindest and the sweetest person ever and always goes the extra mile. Sge writes us the most thoughtful summaries and sends us photos so that we be at easy while we are away and traveling. Her genuine care and trust is the best thing we can ever ask for, and we have one less thing to worry about when she is here for our kitties. I can’t recommend Nola enough if you are considering a thoughtful and amazing pet caretaker for your fur baby. 10 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nola is amazing as always! She is always our go to, super caring, responsive, responsible and takes time to write up a really nice summary and send up pictures, nothing more we can ask for. We always feel safe and comfortable having her come in and take care of our kitties.

Nola is the only person we have ever asked for help on Rover and for good reason, time and again she has proven to be the best! Ever! Can’t thank her enough for the super thoughtful summary each day, lovely photos and for making sure we are aware of everything that’s happening while we are away. She is the best and I don’t know if anyone else can ever measure up to that. Thanks again Nola for all your do and your help over the years. Also, I just realized I can leave a review after each booking 😅

Safety, trust & environment

**Client care** When in a client's home, I strive to make your pet's experience as seamless as possible. I aim to keep up their normal daily routine as much as possible based on the services booked, and I will love on your pet and give them all the attention, exercise and play time so they are happy and healthy for your return. Additionally, I like to keep things clean and orderly, so expect to come home to a peaceful space without anything out of place! __________________________

Information Nola L. would like to know about your pet

**Meet & Greets** These are required for new clients. I prefer to know as much as I can about a pet before any visits so I can be as knowledgeable and prepared as possible. Every detail is important to me - feeding schedule, potty schedule, play and exercise preferences, medication, and everything in between. That way I can make sure I'm tailoring the experience to each individual pet's needs and likes/dislikes so they have the best experience possible!

A typical day

Walks, dog parks, playing in the yard or inside the house, and snuggling - these are all fun things I love doing with my dogs, and will definitely love to do with yours as well! Please let me know your dog's specific favorite activities and toys - if your dog really likes to swim, let's discuss how we can make that a reality! And if your dog loves to play tug-o-war for hours, let me know and I'll make sure to get some tug-o-war time in with your pup!
