Pet care experience

I'm new to the Rover platform. However, I have taken care of multiple breeds and offer all levels of care for over twenty years. I can also provide references. I'm also a pet parent who knows what it means to have someone you trust with your precious one. I love making new pet friends and look forward to meeting your fur babies. 💗

Nicole did an amazing job caring for Lilly!! By all accounts she went above and beyond. We will definitely be rebooking! She even tidied up and washed sheets she used, which was hugely helpful. She constantly kept us updated and made sure our baby was safe.

Nicole was great! Stayed with our girls on short notice and took such good care of them (and us)! Came for a meet-and-greet since this was our first time, which I really appreciated. Just the right amount of communication while we were away, including photos of our dogs looking blissful. Thank you, Nicole!

Nicole did a great job taking care of my little beagle dudes! She communicated well, sent pictures, and took them on some fun adventures. Coming home to a clean house and fresh bedding was such a nice bonus!! Highly recommend Nicole!!

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.
