Dogs will be given love and attention, play, walks, really whatever they are into or owner needs. My own crew loves to swim in our pool, play frisbee or fetch the chuck-it.

Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any special needs, behavior needs, allergies to be aware of etc., in order so we can discuss a plan of action that everyone is comfortable with.

A typical day

I love to watch dogs enjoy being a dog but also mix in some training or games to give them that mental component and tire out their brains as they need. Plus, gaining some new fun skills for life.

Pet care experience

Since a child, I have been trusted to watch, walk, and care for neighbors and friends dogs. I still care for my friends and families dogs. I grew into loving the difficult dogs, training lots of different sports and dog behavior. I love seniors/special needs who just need some TLC. Puppies are my absolute favorite. I enjoy the bond and training from the start.

Nicole was fantastic! She was very kind, professional, and easy to communicate with. She responded quickly to my messages and kept me updated throughout the visit. I really appreciated that she sent me a photo of my dog—it gave me peace of mind knowing my pup was happy and in great hands. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I would definitely book with Nicole again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog walker!

Nicole was great. Good pictures and updates. She kept me updated on anything going on with the dogs and if she had a question she just asked. Very caring to my dogs.

Nicole and her family are great! I felt very comfortable leaving my baby in their capable hands. I received pictures regularly and could tell he was a happy pup. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a happy environment for their pups.

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.
