About Nicole
Experience: 10 yrs
I have hands on experience pet sitting for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, and chickens, and I am a proud dog mom to three very rambunctious dogs. I have always loved working with animals, ranging from small pets like rats, hamsters, and fish to larger animals such as horses. I grew up in a home where animals were always part of everyday life, which taught me responsibility, patience, and attentive care from an early age. Whether a dog has endless energy or prefers a more relaxed routine, I enjoy getting to know each pet's personality and providing care that fits their individual needs. I also have experience caring for injured animals, including managing skin conditions and supporting pets with long-term medical needs, and I am comfortable following specific care instructions to ensure their health and comfort.
Most recent review
My cat is more shy than most, given her tragic upbringing before I rescued her. However, because of this, she has a really hard time trusting strangers or other people that aren’t me. However, whenever I have had to leave home for a few days, I have called none other than Nicole. My shy cat warmed up to her immediately and I have no worries at all because I know not only will Nicole take care of her, she will go above and beyond every time. She is one of the very few people my cat and I trust to ensure she has the best care while I am away. There’s no doubt in my mind Nicole is the absolute best with animals and will take care of yours like she takes care of mine!
