Highlights
Pet care experience
Above and Beyond For Your Pets!
Going above and beyond for your pets care is my goal to ensuring a fun and safe stay! Huge animal lover, I take care of both cats and dogs! I’m currently a cat mom to my 3 year old Milly and soon-to-be dog mom in the future! I love paying special attention to their specific needs such as dietary needs, amount of walks, and amount of play! Having an owner disappear can be overwhelming for a pet, so it’s important to make them feel comfortable and safe when their owners are away. I offer overnight house sitting as well as temporary house sits for one night events. I have experience with senior dogs and cats as well as dogs with injuries/disabilities and dogs and cats who have dealt with trauma. I have experience with medication distribution to both dogs and cats. I do not do onboarding services for dogs at the moment however that will change in the future! I also have experience caring for other critters such as ferrets and birds (message me for details).

Ratings and reviews
We have an 11-year-old Shih Tzu named Buddy who has never been boarded or crated. Because of this, our vacations have typically been limited to places we can drive so that we can take Buddy with us. We had used Rover before for drop-in visits and walks, but never for overnight house sitting. When we planned a recent vacation and didn’t have a family member available to watch Buddy, we found Nicole on Rover. Her reviews were excellent, and I believe she had a 4.9-star rating, so we decided to book with her. Before accepting the booking, Nicole came to our home for a meet-and-greet so she could meet Buddy, learn his routine, and make sure everyone was comfortable. We chose the house-sitting option because it was important to us that Buddy remain in his own home and have someone there with him. Booking Nicole was the best decision we could have made! She arrived on time and stayed with Buddy throughout our trip. She took him on multiple walks, administered his eye medication, took care of the house, and even took out the trash. Most importantly, she was wonderful with Buddy and gave him the attention and companionship he needed. Knowing that Buddy was comfortable at home and being well cared for allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. We felt very comfortable having Nicole in our home and caring for Buddy. We would absolutely book Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, attentive, and caring to look after their pet. Thank you, Nicole, for taking such great care of Buddy and giving us peace of mind while we were
Nicole did a great job with Barkley. Nicole sent lots of pictures and updates which I loved so much. Happy to use her again.
Nicole loves cats and you can tell. She gave Mr. Bingley sweet care and attention. She was very good about sending pictures and videos to let me know he was doing well while I was away. There was a stressful situation with the petsitter before her, and Nicole handled it all with grace, professionalism and assurance to me that all was well. That was greatly appreciated. Thanks very much Nicole for taking such good care of Mr. B.
Nicole arrived on time and stayed with our golden while we were out as requested. She sent several updates so we'd know how it was going, and kept her happy and safe.
Nicole was a little late arriving, but she did a fine job with Zena. We would be glad to use her again.
Nicole did a great job taking care of my two large, high energy dogs! She provided plenty of updates and was very communicative.

Schedule
I’m a college student who is a student all year round! Winter and summer bookings are very flexible as I do online classes from home. During the fall and spring, I aim to take morning/early afternoon classes, I like to give early walks and breakfast before heading out and spend the rest of the day with them after class!
