Pet care experience

Your pup will love our family!

I’ve never had a home where we didn’t have pets. I had three cats and a dog growing up. Even when living in a row home in Baltimore City, we had a pitbull mix who was so loving. I have cared for numerous dogs belonging to family members, friends and now users of Rover! We have had the opportunity to love on all breeds of dogs from Pomeranians to Pitties and Chihuahuas to Chows. My children have never known a house without a dog or cat in it. We would love to love on your fur baby!

"I had an amazing experience with Nicole as my dog sitter. I reached out to her at the last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and willing to help. Her beautiful energy and genuine love for animals were immediately apparent. It was evident that she truly cared for my furry friend. Throughout the time she spent with my dog, she exhibited professionalism and a deep understanding of his needs. She was attentive, making sure he received plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I was particularly impressed by her ability to establish a comfortable and trusting bond with my dog in such a short period. Communication with Nicole was flawless. She kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which brought me peace of mind while I was away. Her reliability and punctuality were top-notch, which allowed me to fully enjoy my time knowing my dog was in great hands. I highly recommend Nicole to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Her availability at the last minute and the beautiful energy she brings to the experience truly set her apart. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future for any dog sitting needs. Thank you, Nicole, for providing exceptional care to my furry family member!"

Absolutely awesome. Our dog was welcomed into her home as if she was part of the family. The regular updates are always reassuring that our dog was in great hands and having a good time. Nicole is highly recommended and we will definitely be using her again in the unfortunate times we can’t travel with our dog.

Schedule

I used to work from home 100% of the time so I was always home with your fur baby - this is how I started working with Rover. However, on May 1, 2023, I will be taking on a new role where I am now working from home three days a week. Based on your desired days, I will be up front and honest on days I will be 100% home versus days I may be out of the house. When home, I have my own pup who I take on daily walks and would love to bring your pup along with us. I have always owned a pet - they are part of our family 100%!

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a beautiful area of Baltimore County with lots of trees and walking trails. Our one year old dog loves other dogs and would love to have a playmate. We have three acres that I can explore with your pup safely on a leash. We love to play fetch in our yard - Gunner’s favorite is a tennis ball - and my eight year old loves to cuddle! Dogs are allowed to roam free in our home and even join us in bed if that is your preference. :)

Pets

A typical day

I would love to take your dog on walks with my pup, Gunner. We live in a beautiful area with lots of trees and lots of great areas to sniff and play. We also have a dog park not far up the road and we take our dog Gunner there on a regular basis. We can play fetch in our large backyard or if the dogs just wanna relax we have a great patio for them to lay in the sun.
