About Nicole

Experience: 10 yrs

My decade of experience in pet care is defined by a commitment to treating every animal as if they were my own. I prioritize comfort and happiness by maintaining consistent routines, whether I am providing pet sitting, walking, or training services. My approach involves vigilant observation for health changes and strict adherence to dietary needs. I am trained in the Red Cross Pet First Aid Course and have extensive experience caring for both young and senior pets. I remain calm during emergencies and maintain clear, immediate communication with owners. Whether I am helping a shy pet come out of their shell or managing the energy of an active dog, I find joy in witnessing each animal's unique personality. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic in every interaction. I look forward to welcoming your beloved companions into my care and ensuring they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Nicole is absolutely wonderful. She was able to take care of my house, Dog, and my cat on a very short notice. Both of my animals immediately fell in love with her. I would describe Nicole as trustworthy, reliable, a good and clear communicator, flexible. I found my person whom I 100% trust to take care of my home and my animals when I have to leave the town.
