Safety, trust & environment

I am careful to keep pets inside that need to remain so. I always make sure dogs are well leashed before taking them outside and have experience managing escape artists with cats and dogs alike. If you have a bigger dog, I may require us to do a couple of drop in visits or walks ahead of time to make sure all goes well and the dog is comfortable with me.

Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet

I would love to learn more about a pet before taking care of them so I know how to handle them properly and be able to give them the best care possible. I do require a minimum of a week’s notice so that we can set up a meet and greet ahead of time. 24 hour notice is required for booking cancellations. I take care of all breeds of dogs and cats. Please let me know your pet’s temperament, medical needs, and other details.

A typical day

For cats, I will play with and hang out with all friendly cats. Shy cats, I will work with to help get them comfortable with me, but always respect their space and needs. I love taking dogs out for long walks to get their energy out in a healthy manner! I am able to do walks and playtimes in the backyard as needed. I always try to keep each pets' routine the same from day to day to keep them comfortable.

Dogs and cats are my passion!

Pet care experience

I have grown up taking care of both cats and dogs. I am a dog and cat trainer with 6 years of experience and have my own positive reinforcement pet training business. I have experience with general care of many types of pets from working at pet stores. Types of dogs I have worked with before range in size from chihuahuas to great danes. I walk high energy and large dogs. In the past, I have housesat for many dogs and cats including giving certain medications to both. I grew up around both cats and dogs and currently, I have 1 indoor cat of my own. I will gladly play with and/or feed any dogs or cats that need playtime or feeding during the day. For cats care, I require a minimum of once a day visits if you are out of town and have no one else coming to check on them. For dogs, if they have a doggy door, I require twice a day visits. If they don’t have a doggy door, 3 times a day is preferred so they can have potty breaks.

Fantastic communication! Nicole is terrific. We’re always nervous about leaving our 2 cats but she did such a great job of keeping us updated and sending photos. We’ll definitely seek her help 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.
