⏰ Dedicated Full-Time Professional Care Because pet care is my full-time career, your pets aren't a "side gig" squeezed between other shifts. They are my entire schedule! 🐾 🗓️ Flexibility That Fits Your Life: I’ve designed my day to be there when you can’t be. Whether your boss called a last-minute meeting or you just want your pup to have a consistent midday break, I’ve got you covered: Early Birds & Night Owls: From sunrise stretches 🌅 to evening tuck-ins 🌙, I'm on the road and ready. Midday Energy Bursts: Perfect for puppies or high-energy dogs who need to burn off steam while you’re at work. ⚡ Consistent & Dependable: Because this is my job, you don’t have to worry about me "calling out" for an office conflict. I am there, rain or shine. ☔️☀️ 🏠 Reliability You Can Trust: Being a full-time sitter means I take my reputation seriously. I keep my route tight so I can be on time and fully present. When I’m at your house, my phone stays in my pocket (except for that cute photo!) so your pet gets 100% of my attention. 🛡️✨

Safety, trust & environment
🛡️ Your Home & Pet: Safe, Secure, & Respected I don’t just "watch" pets, I protect them. Whether I’m entering your home for a drop-in or heading out for a walk, I operate with a safety-first checklist to ensure total peace of mind for you. 🏠✨ 🚧 Out on the Walk: The "Double-Check" Rule: I always verify harness/collar tightness before we step outside. 🐕🦺 Awareness Training: I’m constantly scanning the environment for other dogs, reactive triggers, or unsafe debris on the sidewalk. ⚠️ Temperature Checks: In summer or winter, I check pavement heat or ice levels to keep those paws protected. 🐾🌡️ 🔒 Inside Your Home: Security Expert: I am hyper-diligent about locking doors, arming alarms, and ensuring gates are clicked shut. Your home’s security is as important as your pet's. 🔑 Environment Scan: I check for hazards, empty water bowls, or anything your pet shouldn't be chewing on before I leave. 🚫🦴 The Little Things: I make sure the "routine" is followed, whether that’s a specific treat spot, a white noise machine, or a favorite blanket. 💜 The Professional Promise: I treat your space with the highest level of respect. I’m a quiet, clean, and reliable presence. My goal is for you to walk through your door and feel like I was never there except for the fact that your pet is happy, calm, and well-cared for! 🏠💫

Information Nicolle M. would like to know about your pet
To make sure our first visit is a total success, I like to be fully prepared! Knowing your pet’s unique "language" helps me keep them safe and stress-free. 🛡️💜 🐕 For the Walkers: Leash Manners: Does your pup pull, or are they a "stop and sniff" pro? 🚶♂️ Triggers: Are they nervous around squirrels, loud trucks, or other dogs? Knowing this helps me pick the safest route. 🚦 The "Escape Artist": Do they have a "slip-proof" harness, or are they known for trying to squeeze through the door? 🚪💨 🏠 For the Drop-ins: Hidden Talents: Are they "counter surfers" or "sock eaters" when no one is looking? 🚫🧦 The Routine: Where are the leashes, treats, and cleaning supplies kept? (Just in case of accidents!) 🧹 Home Access: Any quirks with the lock, alarm codes, or specific gates that need to stay closed? 🔐 💊 Health & Personality: Medical Needs: Any allergies or medications I should be aware of? 🩺 Special Quirks: Do they hide when they hear thunder? Do they have a "favorite" spot for ear scratches? ⚡️🐶 Emergency Contact: Who is your preferred vet, and where do you keep your emergency carrier? The more I know, the better I can guard your home and your best friend! I’m here to follow your "house rules" to the letter. 📝✨
A typical day
🕒 Quality Visits That Beat Boredom! I don’t just watch the clock; I make every minute count! Whether your pet is a high energy athlete or a professional napper, I tailor my visit to be the highlight of their day. 🐶🐱 🌳 The "Sniffari" & Power Walk: Mental Enrichment: On our walks, I allow for "sniff breaks" (Sniffaris!) which tire a dog out mentally just as much as a run. 👃✨ Active Exercise: For the high-energy pups, we keep a brisk pace to burn off that midday "zoomie" energy so they are calm when you get home. ⚡ Fresh Water & Paw Wipes: Every walk ends with a hydration top-off and a quick cleanup so your floors stay clean! 💧🐾 🏠 Indoor Play & Enrichment: Game On: For the toy-motivated, we do rounds of fetch or "hide-the-treat" to keep their brains working. 🎾 Cat Quarters: I’m a fan of feather wand sessions, laser play (if they like it!), and making sure the litter box is scooped and tidy. 🐈🧹 The "Slow Down": If your pet is a senior or a snuggler, we spend our time with gentle ear scratches and calm companionship so they don't feel lonely. 💜 🌟Before I head out, I do a final "Safety Sweep" making sure they are settled, the radio/TV is on (if you like!), and they have a fresh bowl of water. I leave them happy, tired, and ready for a nap until you walk through the door! 🏡💤

Loving & Professional Cat Care
Cat care experience
🐾 Caring for cats is one of my greatest joys! I understand that every kitty has their own unique personality. Some love to play and chase toys 🎾, while others prefer quiet company and cozy snuggles 💕. 😺 I’ve cared for cats of all ages, from curious kittens to mellow seniors, and I’m comfortable with everything from playtime enrichment to administering medication 💊. My calm, patient approach helps even the shyest cats feel safe and loved. 📸 You’ll always receive thoughtful updates with photos and little notes about how your cat is doing, so you can feel close and reassured while you’re away. 💜 My promise? To treat your cat like family, give them the love and attention they deserve, and make sure they feel happy, safe, and cared for every single day.
Reviews
Nicolle is amazing! She did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. She followed all the instructions, was very kind and communicative and the cats felt comfortable with her. She also took care of our apartment. Highly recommended!
Nicolle M. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Nicolle was great! Easy to communicate with and very reassuring. She really helped put my worries at ease about my cat being comfortable when the heat went out. My cat took to her right away and was clearly comfortable with her.
Nicolle was so great, we had to find a sitter last minute as our original plan for care was no longer viable and she was so responsive and immediately got along with our cats, including our shy little girl! The pictures she sent were consistently amazing, and both cats were happy and well taken care of when we got home after being gone for a week :) They forgave us for leaving them almost immediately, and Nicolle being so attentive and playing with them definitely helped them not feel abandoned. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Nicolle again the next time we go out of town!
