Hi!

I'm Nicole, a young professional that recently moved to Vancouver. I work full time but my schedule gives me a lot of free time which I try to spend outside and being active. I love animals but unfortunately can't have any of my own in my new apartment.

Before the move, I was always surrounded by animals. I had my own cat and 12 chickens for many years and I often visited my sister's hobby farm with her variety of four-legged and winged friends. For years, I have consistently pet-sit for friends and neighbours. From scaredy cats to large dogs I have always been called back anytime they needed help again. Being exposed to different animals of sizes and temperaments has made me very comfortable around any pet. I follow direction well and try my best to keep your animal's schedule as close to normal as possible. I am careful and thoughtful when left with an injured or sick pet. I also understand leaving your furbaby can be stressful for you; which is why I'm open to sending you daily updates and/or pictures of your pet if you'd like.

Usually, visits last at least 45 mins once or twice a day (your preference) so that your pet can truly have some company. If they have a lot of energy I'll stay longer and play or walk with them until they get tired. For walking, I match the dog's pace. I'd be more than happy to take them to a hiking trail or just around the block if that's all they can muster. I mark my normal work days as unavailable but still might be able to check on your furbaby before or after work so don't be afraid to ask!
