Highlights
Pet care experience
Devoted Pet Sitter
Hi, I’m Nicole! I bring a calm, reliable, and highly disciplined approach to pet care, backed by hands-on professional experience. I spent six months as a Camp Counselor at Camp Bow Wow, where I managed groups of dogs, learned to read canine body language, and safely cared for dogs with varying temperaments—including both extremely shy pups and high-energy or aggressive dogs. In addition to my boarding facility experience, I am an amateur dog trainer with experience raising and training a service dog in training. My professional background is rooted in healthcare client advocacy and strict protocol management, which means I prioritize safety, clear communication, and following your exact care instructions above all else. Whether your pet needs a calm companion for low-stress walks or a structured environment while you’re away, you can trust them in experienced hands.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I offer both drop-in visits and in-home sitting at clients' homes. During visits, I focus on sticking to the pet's normal routine, feeding, fresh water, walks, and playtime, while keeping a close eye on their behavior and comfort. I also have experience with more nervous or timid animals; I grew up fostering scared kittens and learned how to earn their trust through patience, calm energy, and letting them approach on their own terms. That experience taught me to read subtle cues and adjust my approach for each pet's personality.
Ratings and reviews
I've personally used Rover for several years for my miniature schnauzer's occassional dog sitting needs. Ava Nicole is a great person to trust with your pooch- big or small. She is very informed and empathetic to their unique needs, personalities, and routines. 10/10.

Schedule
Since I'm home full-time, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, not squeezed around a job. I grew up with dogs and cats, so feeding, walks, and playtime are second nature to me. I also spent six months at Camp Bow Wow doing daycare and boarding, which gave me hands-on experience managing multiple pets, reading their behavior, and keeping them safe and comfortable.
