Safety, trust & environment

SAFETY Safety is my top priority. I never mix my personal dogs with boarded animals. Not because they are aggressive or reactive, but just as a simple insurance liability standpoint. I also never book more than one pet household for boarding at a time unless both pets are established clients and both owners are notified. ENVIRONMENT Puppies are never left alone or unattended and all yard play for any aged animal is supervised at all times. COMMUNICATION When I am caring for your pet in any capacity I will listen to you. You tell me their behavior, needs, and triggers, and I listen. I understand each dog is a little different and adjust how I handle your pet accordingly.

Information Nichole A. would like to know about your pet

If boarding, vaccination records are REQUIRED. Any previous issues or incidents (I can handle most situations if I know about them) General temperament (energetic, lazy, nervous, playful, etc) Triggers (areas they don't like to be touched or things that just irritate them) Habits, quirks or miscellaneous behavior that would be helpful for me to know.

A typical day

Versatility is key. I give a mix of affection appropriate for your dogs temprament, physical exercise appropriate for their activity level, and mental stimulus appropriate for their needs.

Pet care experience

**PLEASE READ** My heart is with animals and there is a special place carved out for rescues. I have experience caring for and owning small breeds like Miniature Pinscher all the way up to giant breed Cane Corso and Dogue de Bordeaux. Special needs? No problem! I have experience with dogs who were deaf, blind, amputees, diabetic and, yes, even dogs with problematic behaviors. I also have extensive experience with separation anxiety.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
