Nicole was responsive and great with my dog! Would definitely recommend her to others looking for a dog walker.

Not only has Nicole come through at the last minute for us at the last minute twice now, she sends wonderful photos, is easy to coordinate, and on her last time sitting for us, she dealt with a pup medical emergency calmly, patiently, and compassionately. Highly recommend.

Nicole has been so great with Winston. We appreciate her sending photos and keeping us updated when his tummy gets upset.

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.
