Safety, trust & environment

As a pet parent myself, to a cat with specific needs, I truly understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pets in someone else’s care. That’s why safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I will ensure they feel secure and at ease in every environment. My goal is to provide not only safe and attentive care but also a fun and positive experience that keeps your pet happy and stress-free while you’re away.

Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pet’s daily routine/schedule, favourite toys or activities, fears/triggers, and how they usually behave with new people or other animals. I want to ensure they are safe and comfortable during our time together.

A typical day

Whatever your pet needs — walks, hikes, fetch, pets, cuddles, and more! I adapt to their personality and energy levels, whether they love to play or just want to relax. My goal is to keep them happy, safe, and feeling loved.

It was great to work with Nicole for the first time. She got along great with my cat. When I returned from my 5 day trip my cat was in great shape and everything was great.

Nicole is incredibly reliable and caring. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my kitties. She’s a great comminicator, and I always know I can count on her.

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.
