Nicole

Hi there, I'm Nicole, an experienced and mature pet sitter with over 10 years of expertise caring for cats, dogs, and horses. I absolutely adore animals and have cared for a wide range of breeds, ages, and sizes. My responsibilities have included everything from meal preparation, walks, hikes, overnight stays, administering medication, enrichment especially for indoor cats, to caring for my own (late) cat, Bentley.

Highlights of my experience include:

- Specializing in cat care: Extensive experience with various breeds, temperaments, cats requiring medical care, and those slow to warm up—I have a soft spot for the ones who are hard to win over!
Maintaining feeding schedules and grooming routines
- Caring for dogs of all sizes: Providing walks, hikes, and tailored exercise
- Overnight stays while caring for both cats and dogs
- Administering pet medication
- Ensuring pets stay happy and engaged with enrichment activities
- Personal experience with end-of-life care, having cared for my late cat, Bentley, from adoption through palliative care

I follow all instructions carefully to ensure your pets remain happy and healthy. My reviews reflect the high-quality care I provide, along with maintaining a clean, well-kept home for your seamless return. I have completed homestays in multiple countries, working with hosts who speak various languages. My professionalism, attention to detail, and love for animals have earned me a reputation as a trusted pet and house sitter with many repeat clients.

When you choose me as your pet sitter, you can expect:

1. Exercise and enrichment tailored to your pet's needs
2. Loving, attentive care
3. Regular updates, especially during extended absences
4. A happy pet and a tidy home upon your return
