Pet care experience

Animal lover here to help!

Taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life! I grew up surrounded by pets (dogs, birds, fish, the odd reptile) so I’ve always had a special bond with animals. I believe every pet deserves to feel loved and safe, and I’m passionate about making sure your buds feel right at home with me. I can’t wait to meet them!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-proofed apartment (no loose cords or choking hazards to be found!). I can also crate your pet if necessary and if they're comfortable with that -- adjusting to a new space can be scary!

My maltipoo had a great time with Nicole and was well taken care of! She’s very nice, responsive over messaging, and attentive to instructions. Appreciate having Nicole watch my pup!

Nicole's Truly Fantastic - relaxed and easy to work with; an excellent communicator; and Holly (my little Morky) clearly loves her. Very Highly Recommended!

Highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker or pet sitter! She’s very communicative and has always answered my questions/messages promptly. This was especially helpful in the beginning as I had only recently joined Rover so I was nervous about leaving my dog to someone else’s care. Nicole never pressured me into making any quick decisions and was very patient in talking through my dog’s specific needs. My dog is getting a little older so he’s developed both allergies and a small limp. Nicole always makes sure to go at his pace for their walks, try different routes once in a while to keep him stimulated even if it’s a short walk, and has been diligent about following his medicine schedule/specific diet for his overnight stays. I definitely chose the right person to trust because my dog has never been happier or healthier now that he’s got a consistent walking buddy and second home for when I’m away on trips!

Nicole was fantastic! She is very reliable, compassionate, thoughtful and communicative. She was very patient with my timid dog, and it was apparent that she genuinely cared. I highly recommend her for any pet owner looking for a responsible and loving caregiver.
