Information Nicole C. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences but I would like to know if your dog is neutered/spayed and if they are potty trained. It's also helpful to know if they are food possessive, toy possessive, or aggressive with other dogs or people. It won't change my mind or rates or anything, it's just helpful to know, especially when taking your pup out!

A typical day

I usually take long walks around my neighborhood, visiting parks on the way. I love taking dogs to a large field and running around with them, occasionally tossing a ball. If it's okay with you, I can even take your pooch to a dog park. And sometimes when they are extra good, we can pass by Starbucks for a puppachino!

Pets

A huge pet lover with a big heart

Pet care experience

Hello, I am a post-college student who attended Adelphi University that can't have any furbabies of my own so I make up for it by caring for everyone else's pets haha. I've been caring for animals for over 8 years including rehabilitating wild animals such as squirrels and birds. I'm experienced with cats, dogs, birds, fish, small mammals, and some reptiles. I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for over 50 families and can provide multiple references if needed. I have watched over 100 cats and dogs! I am also experienced in basic training or potty training as I have trained some dogs before. I can deal with all ages and sizes! I absolutely love animals and am mostly doing this because I don't have any of my own. This is how I get my fill! I'm a friendly, loyal, animal-lover living vicariously through your pet owners ship 😂 Please help me out by letting me help you out! Thank you, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you. (Please note that my rates are completely negotiable! They are just a reference and I am completely willing to talk to you about the best charges!) P.S i am also available for basic training, potty training, and behavioral training and can include this in overnight stays for an extra fee. I can also bring dogs to the dog park weekly. I have a car and can travel where needed

I can’t describe how grateful I am to Nicole. My husband and I went away for our wedding in Mexico and we had the best person we could’ve asked for to watch our boy Buddy Bear. She made it feel like we weren’t even gone and kept us updated all the time with photos. He absolutely loved her as much as we did. Thank you so much Nicole for everything!

Nicole was an absolutely fantastic catsitter! She took wonderful care of my cat, who was happy and well-fed throughout our time away. The litter box was kept clean, meals and treats were provided, and Nicole kept me updated constantly with messages and adorable photos. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such capable hands. Highly recommend!

Found our go-to sitter for our cat. She is great! Super fast responses and frequent updates. Definitely a pro with animals. We even learned more about cooper with her help. Thanks again for everything!

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.
