Hi! I’m available throughout the week, depending on the service you need. I usually offer dog walks from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, and I’m flexible to adjust to your schedule whenever possible.

Information Nicole E. would like to know about your pet

It’s very helpful to know about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs or health concerns ahead of time. This way, I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. Any details you provide help me give the best experience for your furry friend!

A typical day

I like to keep pets active and happy with fun and safe activities such as walks, playtime, and interactive games depending on their energy level. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and rest. My goal is to adapt to each pet’s personality and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for at all times.

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have a dog back in Costa Rica who has a special condition and uses a wheelchair. Caring for him has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve learned to adapt to his unique needs and rhythm, provide extra support when necessary, and ensure he feels safe, comfortable, and loved at all times. This experience has taught me patience, creativity, and a deep understanding of how every pet has their own personality and pace. From energetic pups to those with special needs, I know how to adjust activities, offer affection, and create a stress-free, happy environment. My goal is always to make each dog feel valued, cared for, and truly at home while in my care.

I have an English bulldog who walks with certain individuals. My dog is particularly fond of her, and she provides exceptional care for my dog.

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.
