Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run and play. I have a Goldendoodle named Charlie who is everybody’s friend and loves both play time and snuggling. I have hard wood floors, but also runners all over the place for those pets who are a little uneasy on slippery surfaces. I have multiple sized kennels and food/water bowls (some raised bowls as well) so you won’t need to pack up yours. If you would like to pack a comfort item such a blanket or stuffed animal/toy, feel free, howeverI can’t guarantee the condition of the toy when it’s returned! If they have something special to sleep with, I will make sure no other dogs touch it. I have a TV for dogs as well as an echo show so they can watch their favorite shows as well listen to calming music while going to sleep.

Information Nichole W. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any allergies, or specific treats they like, please let me know ahead of time so I can have the house stocked for them! I make dog treats and cakes, so I would love to have something they will like!

A typical day

Your pets vacation is my pleasure to host! They will have plenty of time playing outside in my fenced in backyard that has kiddie pools for hot weather days and plenty of toys. Mind stimulation is very important for pups, so I enjoy doing some training with them and love watching them learn new things! I enjoy making homemade healthy treats and cakes for pets, so they will definitely be able to lick the batter before trying them! They will get all the love and snuggles on the furniture! All pets have a quiet time/nap time in the middle of the day from 12-2ish. I request nobody drops off or picks up during this time so they can get uninterrupted sleep or rest. When you are on your way, please give me your eta so I can make sure the other dogs are put up for everyone’s safety. This also allows me to anticipate your arrival so I can meet you at the door without the need to ring the doorbell, causing the dogs to lose their minds lol!

Vet tech here to care for your pets

Pet care experience

I’m a licensed veterinary technician who has many years of experience caring for animals of all kinds! I’ve worked in general medicine, emergency medicine as well as neurology. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and abilities/disabilities. I help train puppies and give them extensive brain stimulation as well as agility. Your senior pets will be comfortable on my couch or bed or laying near the fireplace. If medications need to be administered, I can do them all. If requested, I can do anal gland expressions, nail trims, teeth brushing and ear cleaning!

Nichole was the best! My dog is typically shy with strangers but she walked right into Nichole’s home as if she had been there before! I knew my pup was in the best of care. Thank you!!!

This was my first time using Rover, and I had a great experience! Nichole was able to accommodate my senior Chihuahua at the last minute for a few hours while my family and I was on vacations and headed to the beach. She took great care of her. Thank you!

Great communication and clearly great with dogs. We had our older dog and our young dog who had never been left with someone before and both did great with her.

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.
