Highly recommend her and will be using her services again. 😃”


About: I have taken care of and lived with pets most of my life, starting around age 10. At any given time, I lived with/cared for 2-4 pets, consisting of cats and dogs, both young and senior (including puppies). I am experienced in all kinds of care - from daily check ins (bathroom breaks, feeding, and playing) to overnight care! I love to be around pets and would love to help out with any pet care needs. I am a full-time college student, yet home for the summer and need a summer job. I will be free mostly every day of the summer. I have an online summer class, but that won't take much of my time at all, so I am very flexible. I can care for pets in any way you might need - I am experienced in all sorts of pet care, including walking (short and long), playing with toys, administering medicine, feeding, and litter box cleanup.


“Nicole was absolutely amazing. Words cannot express how grateful we are for Nicole to accommodate her time for our puppy Mimi’s needs. Mimi loved meeting with Nicole, and their adventures and pics showed how happy and well taken care of Mimi was in Nicole’s care. Nicole took the time to send us updates and pictures on her time with Mimi. Her pics were way better than any I have taken. She was very flexible with her time and was always on time for pet sitting. What an amazing experience we had meeting and working with Nicole, and Mimi just absolutely loved Nicole. Highly recommended, your fur baby will be in the best caring hands.”
