About Nicole
My experience with pets includes dogs, cats, fish, and amphibians. Dog breeds include Boxer, Shih-tzu, Golden Retrievers, and bosten terrier. Feeding, walking, visiting the dog park, playing with toys, practicing commands, and general light care such as brushing and ear drops. I have a shih tzu of my own who is 11. I have lived with indoor and outdoor cats and am comfortable with play, feeding, and kitty litter. I am familiar with the intensity of cat personalities and the paticularities some have (kitty retaliation for messes/ absense/ etc is a thing!). As such, I give cats love as they ask and space as they demand, following their personalities and your rules. I have helped take care of fish in large aquariums and small beta bowls, I am comfortable cleaning tanks of all sizes and familiar with caring for extra components. I have helped look after lizzards, frogs, and even a snake. I am comfortable with cricket, bug, and mice feedings and cleaning of cages.
Most recent review
Nicole is always there for us whether it's watching our dog (70lb) while we are out of town or watching our 3 kids while we are at work. She goes above and beyond by planning educational activities, making our kids feel safe and loved, ensuring manners are kept, and giving excellent pass downs at the end of the day. The kids (and dog) look at spending time with her as the highlight of their week. We've been very fortunate to have such an excellent care taker.
