Availability
I'm moving to Aventura very soon, so my schedule is pretty flexible while I get settled. Once I find a full time job, I'll keep my Rover calendar up to date so you'll always know when I'm available! I only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to because I want every pet in my care to get the attention, exercise, and love they deserve.

About Nicole B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re in my home or yours. In my care, pets get lots of love, gentle attention, and structured routines. I make sure they eat on time, get plenty of playtime, walks, and mental stimulation, and receive any medications or special care they need. I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort. In my home, pets enjoy safe, enriching walks along the beach and marina, cozy spots to rest, and lots of cuddles and attention! I only host one dog in my care at a time to provide calm, focused, and personalized care for your fur baby:) Whether in your home or mine, I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and stress free, giving them the love, care, and reassurance they deserve while their family is away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see that your furry friend is comfortable, happy, and thriving!

Information Nicole B. would like to know about your pet
For everyone’s safety and comfort, I kindly ask that parents are COMPLETELY honest about their dog’s temperament, behaviors, and any known triggers. This includes things like reactivity, anxiety, fear of strangers, food guarding, leash behaviors, or sensitivity to other dogs or people. There is absolutely no judgment!! This information simply helps me provide the safest and best care for your pet. Please also provide a clear list of any specific needs or special instructions, including: Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions Medications or medical conditions Potty routines Training cues or boundaries Exercise preferences and energy level Comfort items, routines, or quirks The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor care to your pet’s unique personality and needs. My goal is always a safe, happy, stress-free experience for both you and your furry family member 🐾
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, happy, and engaged! Depending on each pet’s personality, specific needs and energy level, we’ll enjoy walks along the marina or beach, fun playtime with toys, gentle plays and lots of cuddles and belly rubs. If I am house sitting at your place, I'll find fun paths to go on walks. I also enjoy mental stimulation activities, like puzzle toys or training games, especially for curious or energetic dogs. For calmer pets or seniors, I focus on snuggles, gentle petting, and calm attention so they feel safe and loved. Every pet is unique, so I tailor activities to their needs, making sure they have fun, stay healthy, and feel happy and secure while you’re away.

Former Vet Tech Offers Trusted Care
Pet care experience
Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly lights me up! I’m a former small animal veterinary technician with 5 years of hands on medical experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs (this goes from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love!) and have 28 years of experience handling and caring for many species. I provide high level care, ideal for pets who need consistency, medication support, or a calm, reliable presence. I hold a BS in Equine Science (animal husbandry) from Centenary University & Hartpury University. I have spent my life caring for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cats, and dogs + my own dogs. Sometimes even caring for 100+ horses at one time! I take care of all of my friends' dogs and animals when needed (Peep my friend's weenie named Stevie in my photos). Whether I’m riding horses, working in a veterinary setting, or shark diving, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by animals. I’m kind, gentle, playful, and very attentive! I treat every pet like family, and their comfort and happiness always come first. I currently live in a community in Aventura on the bay, which means dogs get safe, fun, and enriching walks along the water. Now that I have graduated and have more free time after ending my vet tech career, I can't wait to be established in FL! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and provide loving, dependable care while you’re away! I made this account years ago but never ended up using it. Since letting my most recent beagle go over the rainbow bridge, I am not looking to adopt for a while but being able to care for other's dogs will bring me great happiness!
Reviews
Professional and courteous!
Nicole was excellent! This was the first time we have ever had an overnight house sitter and she did a great job taking care of our two male Shar Peis. She even came by a couple days in advance to meet them briefly so that they would be comfortable with her on the actual evening!
Nicole is a super sweet, caring and professional pet sitter. My family and I enjoyed meeting her and would highly recommend.
Nicole was great with my baby girl Halley, she really loves animals and was great about updating me how the walks went and sending pictures. I would use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for help with their animals.
