Pet care experience

Missing my pets, loving yours!

I’m Nicola, based in Amsterdam, and I downloaded Rover because I miss my pets back in South Africa way more than I expected, haha! This is my way of staying connected to them - by meeting and spending time with furry Amsterdam locals! 🥰

Safety, trust & environment

I’ll care for pets in their own home where they feel safest, following their routine and all care instructions. I respect the home, keeping it clean and secure, and send regular updates. I choose calm, safe, dog-friendly routes for relaxed walks.

Nicola took great care of our dog during our holiday. I would highly recommend Nicola to anyone all day long. She is super caring and a very attentive. Kept me up to date with lovely pics and texts. @Nicola: thank you again, you are a star ⭐️

Nicola is the kindest dog sitter I know! She even made friends with my dad’s kind of anti social dog, and made him feel comfortable and at ease. She listens closely to the instructions and gave Wolf the opportunity to make new human friends✨

Nicola, our youngest daughter, grew up with dogs while living with us in South Africa, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of her life. She recently moved to the Netherlands and would love the chance to spend time with and care for pets again. She has always been incredibly loving, gentle, and patient with our dogs, and she regularly helped with walks, playtime, feeding, and day-to-day care, especially when we were away on holiday. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and we have always felt completely confident leaving them in her care. We would fully trust Nicola to look after other people’s pets as if they were her own.

Nicola looked after my cat, Mollica, in my home for a week while I was away. I felt completely reassured knowing she was in her care. She made sure Mollica was fed, had fresh water and also cleaned the litter box every day. Nicola gave her lots of attention and company, and even took her on little walks since she is an indoor cat. Mollica became very attached to Nicola, and I would absolutely trust her again to care for my pets.
