About Nora K.

Safety, trust & environment
When your dog or cat is in my care, I treat them like one of my own. What is most important to me is that I provide care as close as possible to what your animal is used to receiving from you. Familiar routine helps reduce stress and provide comfort. Below are some principals that I follow in caring for pets and homes of others. Safety First! I follow your pets established routines to minimize stress and maintain consistency. I look for signs of distress, illness, or discomfort and will act quickly if something seems off. I keep homes secure by following all instructions regarding doors, alarms, keys and I never invite guests or leave pets unattended for long periods. Trust: I provide regular updates, photos and messages according to your preference. I respect your home and privacy, leaving everything just as I found it. Comfort: I maintain a calm, clean and nurturing atmosphere. Whether its cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or quiet companionship, I adapt to what makes your pet feel most at ease.
Information Nora K. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best care possible, here is what I would like to know ahead of time. I have a form for new clients that I keep on file for future pet sitting needs, and update as needed. Daily routine: feeding times, walk schedule, sleep habits, and any special rituals they love. Diet and restrictions: What they eat, how much, and any allergies or foods to avoid. Medical needs: Medications, health conditions, vet contact information, and emergency instructions. Personality: How they react to strangers, other animals, loud noises, or being alone. Training: Words or cues they respond to, and any rules you would like me to reinforce. House rules: Are they allowed on furniture? Any off-limit areas? Crate training? For cats, are they indoor/outdoor? Contact information: Best way to reach you while you are away, just in case.
A typical day
My approach depends on the animal and the preferences of each animal. Every pet and family is different, so I tailor my care to match their personality, preferences and needs. I try to provide care as close as possible to what the pets are used to receiving by their owners. Here is what you can expect: Daily walks and exercise: For dogs, I make sure they get the movement they need whether it be a brisk walk, a game of fetch, or just sniffing trees. For playful cats, I will play with them using the toys they are familiar with so that they can get some exercise. Playtime: I will engage your dog with toys and games that they enjoy, as well as ensuring they get some fresh air and exercise that is appropriate for their needs. Feeding and Medication: I will follow your instructions precisely when it comes to meals, treats, and any medications or supplements. Companionship: Most pets thrive on affection, so I make sure they get plenty of belly rubs, ear scratches, and cozy downtime. Updates for you: I will send photos and updates about how your pets are doing while you are away according to your preferences for how often. Routine: I strive to stick to your pet's regular schedule as closely as possible to keep them feeling safe and secure.

Pet care experience
As a responsible young adult with 3 years pet sitting experience, I offer dependable, compassionate care for both cats and dogs of all ages. I have been a pet owner of both cats and dogs all my life. I love my animals, and love caring for the animals of other families. When I was young, I would dress up my dogs in play clothes and read them stories. With my whole heart, I understand that pets are our family. My family currently has 2 dogs and a cat. Now I care for their needs, including preparing and feeding a specialized raw diet for my two 11-year-old labs. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I tailor my care to meet each animal's needs - whether that means long walks, quiet cuddles, or administering medications with care and precision. I have built trust with families by not only caring for their pets but also respecting their homes. I keep things tidy, follow instructions closely, and make sure everything feels just as you left it. What sets me apart is my reliability, calm demeanor, and genuine love for animals. I am committed to making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you are away. I treat every pet like my own, with patience, warmth, and love. I would welcome the opportunity to care for your pets and home!
Reviews
Nora exceeded our expectations! We came home to happy and healthy animals and our house was in good order. Nora is courteous, was organized when she came to learn of our expectations, responsible and a remarkable lover of animals. We've never come home after traveling to happier animals. My husband and I would recommend Nora for the next time you need your pets and house cared for while you enjoy your time away from your home.
Nora is our go-to pet sitter! I've known Nora for almost 10 years. She is responsible, respectful, and genuinely cares for animals as if they were her own. She will communicate with you and keep you updated while you're away, and will always go above and beyond to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved. We trust her completely and feel so fortunate to have her in our lives. Highly recommend!
Nora is one of the most responsible and reliable young ladies I know! She loves animals and has had many herself over the years! She goes above and beyond giving the pets love and attention! I would highly recommend Nora!
I can't recommend Nora enough! I've trusted her to care for my dog, Oakley, during several weekend trips and every time I return home she has been happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. From our very first meet- and- greet, Nora showed real warmth and attention to detail. Nora learned Oakley's feeding schedule, favorite play toys, and even how Oakley likes her belly rubs. While I was away, I got regular photo updates that reassured me how content Oakley was. If you want a pet sitter who treats your animals like family, is trustworthy, responsive, and truly goes above and beyond, Nora is the one.
