Nikole is hands down the best sitter we’ve ever experienced. Her communication is great and you can tell she is truly a responsible person and a dog person. We are using her again ASAP. She made us feel totally confident that our dogs were in great hands while we were on vacation. Kate F.

Nikole was very patient with him and gave us very detailed information about his day. She seemed to genuinely care about the fact that Watson wasn’t very relaxed the first day and tried what she could to get him out of his shell. But we reassured her that that’s just how he is. It takes him a very long time to get comfortable. But we’re really grateful for the care and patience Nikole showed him. We will keep booking Nikole for as long as she’s available. June L.

We had never used in-home pet care before and are so happy we found Nikole. She took great care of our pets and our home. Our spoiled pup is used to several walks per day and she kept that schedule which we really appreciated. We had some contractors in our yard while gone and she sent pictures and videos of our pets… above and beyond what she needed to do! It was a very good feeling to be able to go out of town and be confident your pets and home are in good hands. We will definitely use her services again! Linda B.

As fussy as my Shiba can be, I was a bit worried about him causing all sorts of trouble, but everything went smoothly and it was clear when I got home that they were both happy and well cared for. I got photo updates and couldn't have been happier to know that my dogs were relaxed and in their home, doing their normal activities like napping on the couch and playing with their toys. I will definitely be asking Nikole to take care of my two monsters again! Danielle R. Oct 26, 2017

              New List ItemNikole was a very good sitter for our dog. Our dog has separation anxiety but after spending the day with Nikole she was just fine. Nikole was great with communication, she was very flexible with drop-off/pick-up time and welcomed And followed our instructions. I would definitely recommend Nikole for caring for your pet. We are very picky and I'm sure we will be using her again.

              New List ItemNikole is really great! I went away for a week and she looked after my two cats. She came over everyday and fed them, cleaned their litter, and spent time with them. The house was super clean when I got back and she even watered my plants! She sent pictures every day! Can’t recommend her enough!

              New List ItemNikole was great. I appreciated her helping us out on short notice and all the great photos and videos she sent. I know our dogs had a great time. When my chihuahua might have been sick Nikole notified us right away and even offered to visit the Vet. That was really above and beyond. Well appreciated!

              New List ItemNikole watched our dog and our cat for a full week over the holidays. We came back to happy animals and a clean house. So happy our fur family was so well-cared for while we were away. Definitely recommend.

              New List ItemNikole was amazing with our pups and anyone that books with her will have a worry free time away from their furry loved ones. One of our dogs is much older and has some trouble getting around. Nikole took fantastic are with her and was very attentive to her extra needs. It would be a pleasure to have her look our pups again.

              New List ItemThis was great! We loved Nikole and so did the dogs! She came to our RV (which is a weird request I know) and she was super cool about it! When we are back in the area we would totally contact her again! Thank you for treating my dogs like family!

              JiroNikole took great care of my dogs and I felt safe having her in my home. Both of them took well to her during the meet and greet and she wasn't intimidated by Jiro's snark. As fussy as my Shiba can be, I was a bit worried about him causing all sorts of trouble, but everything went smoothly and it was clear when I got home that they were both happy and well cared for. I got photo updates and couldn't have been happier to know that my dogs were relaxed and in their home, doing their normal activities like napping on the couch and playing with their toys. I will definitely be asking Nikole to take care of my two monsters again!

              LoloOur dog Lolo literally jumps with excitement when she sees Nikole. No doubt due to the excellent care she has consistently provided her. Her genuine love of dogs, attention to detail and commitment to outings make her an excellent dog sitter which I consider myself (and Lolo) very lucky to have access to.

              New List ItemNikole has taken care of my elderly husky on multiple occasions with great success. My husky has copious amounts of separation anxiety and is very stubborn, but he always enjoys his time with Nikole and the adventures she takes him on. Would definitely recommend her.

              New List ItemNikole is an excellent pet sitter. You can tell she truly loves dogs (and cats) but just doesn't have one of our own right now. She has dog sat for our two dogs several times over the last few years. She obviously gave them lots of attention as they get super excited when they see her now. Nikole gave them several daily walks and adhered to their eating schedule. Our dogs were relaxed and satisfied when we returned which made traveling more relaxing for us.

              New List ItemNikole is a great pet sitter, the dogs are always super happy to see her and she takes good care of them. Always happy and well entertained when they come home. She loves animals (don't we all) and works hard to take care of them.
