About Nicole

Hey! I'm Nicole. I am an experienced and passionate animal enthusiast with a diverse background in shelter work, including my involvement at a donkey rescue where I cared for stray cats and dogs. Throughout my time there, I was responsible for the well-being of these animals, ensuring they received proper exercise, socialization, and preparation for adoption. Additionally, I provided essential medical care, including administering medication and even injections when necessary.

I'm not just here for cutie dog walks and making furry friends, although that is a perk. Don't get me confused with the other dog walkers or sitters on this platform who are simply looking to make a quick buck. I'm very serious about what I do and your pet will be in good hands for the right reasons. This also explains and justifies my prices although if you are interested in me as your walker or sitter, but it is out of your price range, please drop me a message and we'll see what we can do. I've been in this position several times.

Why Choose Me?

• Lifetime Animal Lover: From a young age, I’ve had a deep love for animals. Growing up in Greece, I would pet all the stray animals I encountered, and they would follow me around. 🐕🐈

• Extensive Knowledge: As a child, I had a CD-ROM dog encyclopedia and learned everything about dog behaviors and personalities by breed. My obsession started early.📚

• Personal Experience: I grew up with a cat and got my first dog at age 15. Over the years, I’ve had various pets including goldfish, parakeets, and even a tortoise I kept for 10 years. 🐾

• Animal Rescue and Fostering: I’ve fostered dogs, rescued birds, and cared for many stray animals. If I see an animal in need, it's coming home with me. I have even picked up a stranded fox pup to take to a rescue. 🦊🐦🐢

• Professional Background: I worked as a dog groomer’s assistant and have handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. My experience includes working with big, strong pullers and energetic small dogs. ✂️

• Understanding the Importance of Safety: After a tragic experience of my own dogs with a careless dog sitter, I prioritize safety and want to ensure you feel confident and secure with my care. No one deserves that pain. I'm not just someone doing this for the extra cash with no experience. I'm the safe choice.🛡️

• Medical Skills: I’m well-prepared to handle medical emergencies, administer medication, and provide injections if necessary. 💉

• Cat Care Expertise: At the donkey rescue, I played a crucial role in caring for cats, including feral ones requiring capture for neutering. 🐱

• Dedication to Animal Welfare: I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for all animals in my care. 🏡

• Customized Care: Whether it’s going for long walks, engaging in playtime, or offering a calming presence, I am committed to meeting each pet’s individual needs. 🚶‍♂️🧸

• Reliable and Compassionate: I provide the highest level of care and attention, ensuring your pets feel comfortable, loved, and engaged. ❤️

• Flexible and Discreet: Offering house sitting services, I am comfortable sleeping on the couch and only need wifi and Netflix. I’m also discreet and happy to provide frequent updates, check-ins, and video calls as desired. 🛋️📱

• Transportation: Although I can drive, I don’t own a car but can rent one if needed. 🚗

Your furry family members will receive exceptional care and attention under my watch. If you’re looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter, look no further. I am excited to meet your four-legged companions and provide them with the care they deserve.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your dog sitting needs or to arrange a meet-and-greet. I am eager to become a trusted companion for your beloved pets!
