Gentilly/Bywater Playdates & Walks!

Pet care experience

Just another crazy animal lover! I am attuned to furry friends and care deeply about making them feel at ease, happy and healthy. I have long been a go-to pet sitter for my friends' cats & dogs, and have had numerous furry companions of my own throughout my life, including a chihuahua-poodle (choodle) named Angela who was my best pal for 14 years until her passing in 2020. I was her caretaker when she lost her ability to walk in her final 6 months of life. As she was the queen of anxiety, I developed significant patience and coaxing abilities with nervous dogs. In 2021 I stayed on a llama ranch and helped to train them as emotional support animals. Today I have a sweet, and very strange, black cat named Lilith. I have a special affinity for gentle, alien-like creatures, though I have cared for a range of personality types, so you can trust that your boisterous or deeply specific babies will also be in capable hands. Long walks, sweet cuddles, & hangs are what I'm here for! Doggie day care is an option as well if you ask directly, specifically for smaller dogs who are good with cats. My kitty-queen needs to feel safe in her abode.

Anytime I travel, I know I can always count on Nora. Not only is Nora just naturally one of those “animal whisperer” type of folks, but genuinely just has a deep love and respect for animals! My dog Pistol Pete is an older rescue with some separation anxiety and not always a fan of the fellas or children, so for everyone’s sake I have to be mindful of who watches him; however with Nora it’s a total breeze! I highly recommend asking Nora for watching your fur babies!!

Nora was amazing with my two cats, and I never worried about them for an instant in her care! She is thoughtful and communicative and I would recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone.

Nora is extremely kind, caring, warm, reliable, and professional with animals. I have witnessed her with others’ pets, her own, and mine — & as a former dog walking/pet care business owner I’m not quick to trust anybody with a variety of sweet creatures. Nora is wonderful. Consider her for your pet care needs!

Hello. Nora is a soul mate to dogs and cats. I have a 9 yr old dog named Puck who became best friends with Nora. (Nora and I are friends too, we go back) Nora would take Puck for a few days every so often, and Puck loved the attention he got, the snuggles, and love from Nora. Your animal will be in great loving presence with Nora.

Safety, trust & environment

My house is a safe environment for a fur baby, with an (unfenced) yard and plenty of space inside. I have one indoor outdoor kitty who stays well out of the way.

Information Nora M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what puts them at ease when they are nervous or over-stimulated, ways in which they do or don't play well with other animals, any unique commands or actions they respond to that are helpful to their parents/owners, what their general rhythms are that they're used to with food, exercise and play, as well as any special quirks or needs they may have.

A typical day

I love to frequent City Park (many options here!), the End of the World and other local parks, and will gladly take your pup there to get exercise on or off leash depending on their needs and the location. I also love sweet cuddle times and playing games in the house.
