Experienced Loving Animal Handler

Experienced and loving professional animal caretaker will shower your pets with love and care while you are away. I will come to your home to care for your pet and spend up to an hour with them each visit or host them in mine. I can also water houseplants and any other household chores you need done while away. Dogs have such short lives and my goal is to provide my dogs and yours as much good, happy tail wagging time as possible. I have a lifetime of experience! In addition, if you have other animals such as birds, cats or reptiles, I can care for them as well. I'm a pet mom to 2 cockatoos, a potbelly pig, 4 dogs, cats and backyard poultry. I'm experienced in taking care of a variety of animals with complex needs. I can administer medication and am comfortable administering subcutaneous fluids and dealing with animals who are ill. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs since I was a toddler. My dogs are family to me and they are all rescues. I can't take in any more dogs but I love to have the opportunity to work with and get to know other dogs and different breeds. I truly love my regular clients and there dogs. Please note... I do not stay the night. I will travel to your home several times per day to check on your animals, feed, exercise and socialize them . This does not include and overnight stay. I cook for my dogs a fresh meal everyday and I will cook for yours as well if you like. I also give them treats such as dental chews, fresh baked dog cookies and doggie ice cream which is all homemade and sugar free. This is at an additional fee and can be decided upon day of. Let me know your pets favorite things and I'll make sure they're happy in your absence. My schedule is open and flexible as I work for myself and at home. I can accommodate your pets routine with enough notice to schedule. In your home, i will follow your routine and instructions so that your pet has a stress free time when you are away. In addition, I have a spare bedroom with a bed that can give your pet space and comfort away from the other animals in my house. I board in my home on a limited basis so your pet will get individualized attention.

Nicole was great. We did a meet and greet before our appointment, and she was incredibly responsible. Would happily go with her again!

Stella had a great time with Nicole, she loved making new friends and clearly felt very comfortable there. It was a great experience for both me and Stella, especially since it was our first time using Rover!

Lucy had a great stay with Nicole! I am new to the area so I was apprehensive about leaving Lucy at a traditional kennel or boarding facility. I felt much better about leaving her with Nicole in the comfort of her home where I knew she'd get tons of love and attention. I received daily photos of Lucy and felt confident throughout the week that she was having a great time based on the updates I was getting from Nicole. Overall I am very happy with Lucy's stay. Thanks Nicole!

I would just like to know the basic routing you have with your dog- time of feeding/walking/treats/any special instructions etc. I love all dogs equally! (size and breed unimportant, just let me know their temperament and any special instructions) .
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.
