Pet care experience

Animal lover-ready to play & walk!

Animal lover who’s ready to take care of your pups and kitties! More than 25 years of experience caring for animals. I have 3 fur babies myself—9 pounds, 20 pounds, and 90 pounds—and fully understand how much attention and love they need, and expect, during visits. I like to make visits fun by talking to the pups and kitties, and during walks I like to give them time enough to not only use the bathroom, but to also enjoy their surroundings and all the good smells. During drop-in visits I like to spend time playing and talking to them to provide a little companionship, in addition to feeding and watering them. Dogs and cats are special animals that require love in order to thrive—and I have lots of love to give!

Nicole was absolutely wonderful! My wife and I looked forward to her daily updates and appreciated the videos and pictures she sent us of our little boy, Bruce (4 years old Bombay cat). She was detailed in her daily updates which provided us with a sense of ease, knowing that she was taking such good care of him and our home. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her services for any future travel :)

Nothing better than writing a review about someone who is consistent. This is like my 4th or 5th time working with Nicole. Please consider her first when booking a sitter

Nicole is the most kind, patient, friendly, loving dog sitter. She goes above and beyond communicating regularly about her visits. I cannot say enough about her care and integrity when watching my dogs. She dog sat for our 3 older dogs previously. We have 2 new special needs puppies that have hearing and vision issues, one is completely deaf and mostly blind. She was incredible with the two new puppies and our older dog. It was so nice to have peace of mind and know that our dogs were in her very competent care when we were away.

Nicole was wonderful … very communicative and easy to work with. She followed care instructions perfectly and was very tolerant of some of our cat idiosyncrasies (peeing accidents outside the litterbox 😬) - cleaning up as needed. Her detailed updates reflected the thorough care she was providing - playing and interacting with our cats, understanding their personalities, along with usual care duties. Highly recommend - we look forward to using her again!

Nicole is awesome! Even when my cat is grumpy, she finds ways to connect with him and is wonderful about communicating with us. Thanks Nicole! :)

Nicole has been our pet sitter on multiple occasions - my cats look forward to her visits and greet her at the door! I am always sad to leave them behind but knowing that Nicole will be by to take care of them always alleviates the anxiety. She is excellent at communicating, always sends me the cutest pictures of my fur babies and goes above and beyond while she's here. I would highly recommend Nicole - she really takes care of your pets like they're her own - look no further!

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or behaviors. I will be sure to structure our walk or drop-in visit to account for them.
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.
