Loving Care When You’re Not There
Hello! Animals have always been a part of my life—caring for them is second nature to me. I have been pet-sitting since I was 11 and have personally cared for a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, and many other types of animals. I've handled everything from bottle-feeding babies and caring for seniors to administering medications, treating injuries, and comforting anxious or special needs pets. I currently have 8 cats, 3 dogs, and a snake, and occasionally assist strays with food and vet care. I've rescued, fostered, and even volunteered at adoption events for local rescues, and I bring patience, compassion, and a deep understanding of animal behavior to every pet I meet, and I look forward to spending time with your furry family member! According to Rover's policies, couples are allowed to pet-sit together. This being said, my husband Bryan does occasionally assist me with overnight stays part-time for safety purposes. He is also a verified, background-checked Rover sitter, and he's pictured in my photo gallery, as well as a picture of his Rover profile.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their routines and spaces, keeping things clean, calm, and consistent while providing loving, attentive, and personalized care.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole and her husband came to visit the dogs beforehand and are very nice people! Took a little too long to reply for us at some times but kept us updated as things arose. We had some damage, from the dogs that was communicated to us, on the baseboards that were a little excessive so we were a little upset about that. The house was very clean when we did come back though!
Nicole and her husband Bryan stayed in our home for 10 days while we were on our anniversary cruise. I was very hesitant about leaving my dogs but they were very well taken care of and loved on. We will definitely be rebooking when we need a sitter.
Nicole is a fantastic sitter and such a comfort! I am a new resident of Houston and was very weary about having a new sitter for my dog but she has been absolutely amazing with my pup Charlie. We just completed our first week-long House-sit and I am so happy that my sweet pup has taken to her so well. She keeps me updated, is very prompt with her responses and has become a trusted support for my dog Charlie. It is always a scary decision to let a new person into your home and watch your precious pup but she has made this such a breeze. Charlie loves her and her partner. I am most pleased that my home was in the same condition as I left it before I left for work travels. She really respects my home and my dog and I cannot ask for more from a trusted sitter ❤️. I’d love to give her more praises but I think I also want to keep her for myself as I travel often for work and selfishly want her to always be available to watch my pup 😂
My pups love love love Nicole!
Nicole was phenomenal and took wonderful care of our dogs! She was extremely patient, caring and understanding with our skittish and more timid dog, which made her warm up incredibly fast which is usually hard to do with her! We would absolutely recommend her and will be using her readily in the future!
