Pet care experience

Happy to help out:)

Hi! I’m Nichole. I’ve been pet sitting through Rover for over 5 years now and primarily offer cat drop-ins in Ballard, Sunset Hill, and the surrounding neighborhoods. I have experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. During visits, I’m happy to provide meals, fresh water, litter box cleaning or potty breaks, playtime, medication administration (if needed), and updates with photos so you can see how your pet(s) are doing while you’re away. Rover allows multiple clients to request the same time slots, so I generally work within time windows rather than arriving at the exact booked time. Most pet care tasks can be completed within about 15 minutes, which allows me to accommodate multiple clients throughout the day. If your pet would benefit from the full 30-minute visit for extra socialization, supervised meals, or if they require medication at a specific time, it’s no problem just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. If you’d like an even longer visit I also offer 60-minute visits as well.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do my best to be attentive to each pet’s individual needs and keep their routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. Every pet is different, and I try to adjust my care based on their personality, comfort level, and routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I like to know where all of the pet’s supplies are located and learn about any routines or preferences ahead of time.

Nichole did a great job. Each of our cats has specific dietary needs and medications. Also, she handled our one cat with stranger danger well.

This was my first time using Rover and I do not take leaving my two feline furbabies behind lightly! Nicole, above and beyond, made me feel comfortable from the get go. During our "meet the cats" visit she sat down and talked through all of the things she would do and how she would communicate. She was open and receptive to some changes I asked about and was really just embodied calm and confidence. There wasn't a moment I worried while away during my 5-day trip and I really (really!) appreciated knowing the times I could expect to hear from her every day (she came over twice a day). Will ask for her help again and in fact am going to send her a message now (meow?) !

Nicole was reliable and my cats seemed to like her. She sent us lots of photos documenting the visit. We really appreciate that!

It’s important for me to know your pet’s personality, energy level, daily routine, and any medical conditions, medications, mobility limitations, behavioral concerns, fears, triggers, or other care requirements before a booking begins. For cats, it’s also helpful to know if they are likely to hide, try to sneak out doors, have favorite toys or treats, or have any litter box habits you’d like me to be aware of. Please make sure your pet’s profile is filled out with feeding and care instructions, or provide a printed care sheet for reference. I really appreciate detailed instructions to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible.
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.
