Information Nicole A. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know a few things about your pet! Please let me know about your pets temperament, triggers, and any important medical information so I can keep your pet(s) happy, relaxed, and safe! :)

While watching your pet, I have lots of fun activities we could do! If you know any good routes for walks, or any of their favorite places, I would be more than happy to bring them there! I refrain from taking clients dogs to dog parks.

Pets

Flexible, dedicated, animal lover

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Nicole! I recently graduated with a bachelor's in Animal Science from Rutgers University. I first began pet sitting as a teenager, and then I worked at Petco for 4 years. When I began my studies at Rutgers University, I started my career as a vet technician. All of these jobs have helped me gain extensive experience in pet care and animal medicine. I have advanced knowledge in care-taking, dog/cat behavior/training, and I know how to fit different collars on dogs (simple collars, martingale collars, harnesses). I would love to help out and give your pet(s) a fun time while you are out, so you can relax knowing your pet(s) are in good hands. If you have any questions or would like to book with me, send me a message! I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Thank you Nicole, for taking care of our fur babies while we are away. Ella needs a structured routine for her IBD and you help her carry through this process. We are very thankful!

Nicole is a wonderful sitter. She was always very responsive via text; she responded immediately to all my requests. She did a great job keeping the area around the litter box clean and her updates were informative. Adina loves her. I was very lucky to have her help over the holidays; she was even able to assist with Adina when my travel plans changed unexpectedly. I look forward to hiring her again!

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.
