Pet care experience

Loving Dog & Cat Care 🐶🐱

Hi! I’ve loved animals my whole life—I was always the one begging my parents to take in every stray I found 🐾 I’m currently a nursing student, so I’m very detail-oriented, responsible, and focused on safety. I also have a prior military background, which has taught me discipline, reliability, and consistency in everything I do. I’m very active and love running, so I’m great for high-energy dogs who need walks and exercise, while also being calm and patient with cats and more relaxed pets. I’m comfortable following routines, giving lots of attention, and keeping you updated with pictures so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

During visits, I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care based on their personality—whether that’s going for a walk, playing, or just keeping them company. I always prioritize safety by ensuring secure leashing, clean water, and a safe environment before leaving. I also provide regular updates with pictures so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away 🥰

Nichole is the best Rover out there! She is exceptionally kind and responsible. She went above and beyond caring for our dogs and our home while we were away. We received many updates and cute pictures - the love she showed our dogs was absolutely incredible and made us feel reassured they were in great hands. Our family will 100% be using Nichole’s services again. Thank you so very much, Nichole, for your care and generosity! Kiwi and CeCe are already missing you!

Nichole is amazing! Highly recommend. Kept me updated with photos of Tater Tot throughout the weekend. Very neat and clean. Impressed by the communication.

Nichole was absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of our energetic pup (and our house!) for us for 10 days. She shared lots of photos and updates and was attentive and observant enough to notice when something was off with our girl. Nichole was responsible, trustworthy, and reliable, and we would highly recommend her for anyone looking for an attentive and loving care provider. We loved, loved, loved having her - we’ve already booked her again for our next trip! Thanks, Nichole!

Nichole took great care of my cat! She followed her feeding and cleaning routine well and was very communicative with updates. She was also reliable and responsible, and I never had to worry about my cat while under her care. Most importantly, she earned my shy cat's trust quickly 😺. I highly recommend Nichole for all pet care needs!

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Nichole took amazing care of our 4-year-old cat, Tookie, during our week-and-a-half trip and truly went above and beyond in every way. Tookie is a long-haired cat, and she took the time to brush her regularly and keep her coat looking beautiful. She even cleaned her ears, which was such a kind thing to offer. Beyond caring for Tookie, she also watered our plants and looked after our home with great care. When our travel plans changed and we needed to come home early, she was incredibly flexible and accommodating, making the whole process completely stress-free. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she’s entrusted with. We felt so comfortable knowing Tookie was in such capable hands. We 100% recommend Nichole to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter, and we absolutely hope to book with her again in the future!

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, energy level, and personality ahead of time. I also like to know about any medical needs, allergies, medications, or special instructions. Please let me know if your pet has any triggers (like other dogs, loud noises, or being left alone), as well as their favorite activities, feeding schedule, and bathroom routine. The more I know, the better I can keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy 🐾
