Pets make rainy days bright!

Pet care experience

I've been studying abroad for a year, but now I'm back to pet care! I have pet sit for my family since 16, and previously worked in a shelter with experience giving medication. I've trained in pet CPR and first aid. I like doing enrichment for my boyfriend's dogs and my cats, along with fun adventures. I can also water plants, bring mail/packages inside, or perform other small tasks during bookings! My schedule can fit almost all requests, but my Wednesdays are quite busy. I may ask for a slight modification of the schedule by 1-2 hours on Wednesdays. I have other Rover gigs usually, but update my calendar regularly (about 2-3 times a week).

Nichole is wonderful! She takes such good care of my fur babies and is 100% reliable. She’s a good person and truly cares about the animals.

Nicole sent pictures every day and kept in communication with us. It was a comfort knowing they were being taken care of!

Nichole is amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are well taken care of and informs you about any unusual behavior or anything concerning. I trust her implicitly and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind and caring to watch your fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

I do my best to protect your pet at all times. On walks I avoid unleashed dogs, I update owners if the pet seems sick, and make sure your pets have their medications (if needed)!

Information Nichole H. would like to know about your pet

Do they pull on walks or use a prong collar? Are they aggressive with strangers? In these cases, I cannot accept the booking. Do they require any special care?

A typical day

I like to walk dogs around the neighborhood, play with their favorite toys, or join them in the backyard! For cats and less active dogs, I usually will just cuddle and give pets.
