Information Nicole D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know daily schedule, feeding times, allergies, medications, any fears (fireworks, thunderstorms), and temperament before a scheduled stay. Would also need to know sleep schedule, and if crate trained.

A typical day

We have plenty of backyard toys for play, or if in need of quite time, we have a designated doggie room in the house. We go outside every 2 hours for play time and potty breaks.

Will treat your pup like family

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire adult life. My three dogs live inside and are treated like part of the family (because they are). I worked a couple of years as a big dog camp counselor, but am now retired. I have a secure privacy fence in backyard, and a designated “doggie bedroom” in my house.

We couldn’t be happier with the care Nicole provided for our Golden Retriever, Brody. Over his 10-day stay, he bonded with her sweet dogs, enjoyed her homemade treats, and loved playing in her fenced yard. The regular photo and text updates meant the world to us. Truly outstanding care!

Great experience. My dog was treated like family. I will book again next time we need a sitter.

Nicole was fantastic at looking after our high energy springer spaniel. We did a meet and greet to ensure her dogs and mine would get along, she kept me updated with photos and texts during Jacks stay. He loved the homemade treats she made for him. Would definitely recommend Nicole for your doggy needs.

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.
