Pets

Dogs, cats and exotics welcome!

Pet care experience

I have lived with several dogs of different breeds and have experience caring for them when roommates/parents have been away. I have experience walking small dogs, but am comfortable walking any size dog as long as they are well-trained. I also have experience with exotics/small animals. I owned several rats growing up and have owned rabbits for the past 18 years, so I'm comfortable and happy to provide care for rodents and bunnies as well as dogs!

Best sitter we’ve ever had! She always asks questions when needed and is amazing with both our reptiles and kitties!

Nichole was so great! She was communicative, friendly and sent me such great pics of my girls! She was timely and reliable. This was my first time using Rover and leaving my cats with someone I didn’t know as a friend/family member so I was a little nervous but Nichole put me to ease quickly! Thanks Nichole!!!

Absolutely fantastic! Helped take care of all of our many reptiles and two month old kitty, and was responsive and went above and beyond in helping monitor and overseeing their care. Could not recommend her enough!

Took time out of her life on Thanksgiving to ensure my senior dog was given her medication exactly on time. She was great with my dog, and left a detailed note + picture for her stay, which was much appreciated!
