Pet care experience

Your Fur Babies Next Best Friend 💞

I grew up spending many summers on my grandparent's farms in Portugal and Italy where taking care of our farm dogs, barn cats, and the occasional chicken were the norm! Between the countryside, the suburbs, and living in Brooklyn, I have taken care of bunnies, house cats, budgies and cockatiels, and dogs big and small for the last 9 years. I have experience with providing care and medications for senior cats and dogs as well. My practice as a yoga teacher has even prepared me to stay calm and attentive yet playful when handling your pet's needs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I stop by to care for your pet, I make sure I reread the instructions provided to me regarding you and your pets needs. I always lock up your home before, during, and after each visit and will take the time to play with your pet, hang out with them, and provide much needed love in whatever way your pet likes! Afterwards, I like to send updated photos of my time spent with your pet to give them an overview of what our time together has been like :)

House Sitting • Jan 10, 2024

Nicole was the first pet sitter I ever used, and I couldn't have asked for a better person. She was professional, highly communicative, and adept at caring for my senior rabbit and cats. My senior rabbit required medication throughout, which she managed well. It was reassuring to have Nicole there for my pets, and her evident love for animals and experience shone through. Amazing Housesitting! I would highly recommend her with a 10/10 rating.

Please let me know if your pet has certain meal preferences they must adhere to (i.e. amount of food, kind of food, etc.), when you expect they be walked/taken out (if, they are a dog, let's say), how often their litterbox needs to be changed, their temperament with new people (anxious, playful, etc.), and anything they do not like or LOVE to do. I want to make sure that my time with them feels comfortable and that they can trust me and feel safe around me :)
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.
