Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Nicole. My family and I are work from home and big animal lovers with over 20 years of pet care experience. We've spent time and cared for dogs and cats, including my beloved Yorkie who lived happily for 18 years (2002-2021). While my heart isn't ready for my own furry friend, I'm eager to share my love by pets on Rover! If this if your first time booking, please message me for $20 off your first booking! 🐾 Tailored care: As a former pet owner, I understand the nerves of entrusting a sitter with your furry friend. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual pet (no one-size-fits-all mindset over here!) 🏡 Spacious & Enclosed Environment: Working from home ensures continuous companionship. Our 5,150 sqft lot, along with a fully enclosed backyard and gated front yard, offers a secure area for play and relaxation. 🎓 Specialized Expertise: Whether it's training lively puppies or providing gentle care for senior dogs, my experience spans all life stages. I can follow detailed instructions for your furry friend's schedule and needs. 🌳 Proximity to Nature: Your pets will enjoy the outdoors with two parks just a 3-minute walk away. Regular walks and playtime both indoors and outdoors 👫 Duo Caretakers: With 4 people in the household, you furry friend will not be short of attention and affection! My dad and I will be the primary caretakers and the ones to communicate with you and share photos daily!
Reviews
Our dogs loved staying with Nicole and Aaron! The whole family was involved in their care, we got lots of photo updates every day, and our dogs seemed so happy there. Nicole was very responsive with texts and even set up a meet and greet with our dogs at our house and their house prior to our trip. Our dogs seemed very happy at their home. We would definitely use them again!
Leaving Kashi with Aaron and Nicole gave us peace of mind during our visit to SoCal. They sent lots of pictures and updates of her care. Thank you so much!
I can’t thank Nicole and her family enough for taking such great care of our baby boy! The amount of photos and updates she sends every single day gave us so much reassurance and allowed us to enjoy our trip stress free. They are so kind and friendly and are the perfect fit for us and our fur baby. Absolutely wonderful and I’m so grateful to have found this amazing family to watch after our little boy!
We were in need of finding a new dog sitter for our dog, July, after we moved to So Cal recently. We found Nicole and Aaron at Rover.com, and they took a great care of July over my daughter's spring break. Nicole sent us detailed updates about July with pictures and videos throughout the day and asked questions if she noticed anything unusual. We were extremely happy with Nicole and Aaron's care with July for four nights. Highly recommend Nicole and Aaron if you are looking for a pet loving family who you can trust!

A typical day
Playful Exercise Sessions: From interactive games and fetch to tug-of-war, I tailor playtime to suit each pet's preferences. You can let me know what their favorite game or toy is!

Photo and Video Updates: Stay connected with your pet throughout the day!
