Nicole can care for
Availability
I work primarily from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the pets in my care. I do teach a few yoga classes in the evenings, but pets are typically left alone for no more than about three hours at a time. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I provide overnight house sitting so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home and maintain their normal routine.

About Nicole G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets. I take the time to learn your pet's routine and preferences and follow your instructions closely, from feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes and bedtime routines. I'm experienced caring for puppies, senior dogs, rescue dogs, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. Dogs are always walked on leash unless you've told me otherwise, and I prioritize safety, consistency, and calm care at all times. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
Information Nicole G. would like to know about your pet
The more I know about your pet, the better I can care for them. Before we get started, I'd love to know: • Their daily routine, including feeding, walks, and sleeping habits. • Any medications, allergies, or medical conditions. • Any fears, triggers, or behaviors I should know about. • How they do with other dogs, people, or wildlife while on walks. • Their favorite activities, toys, treats, and ways to help them feel comfortable. • Any training cues or house rules you'd like me to follow. I love meeting dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I'm happy to adapt to what helps your pet feel safest and happiest while you're away.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor each day to their personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves long neighborhood walks, hiking local trails, playing fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'm happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar as possible while giving them plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship.

Calm, Attentive Care for Your Best
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Nicole, and I've been caring for dogs through Rover for nearly ten years. I know how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I've had dogs my entire life, including Labs, rescues, and senior pets, and have experience with dogs of many different ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog loves long walks, exploring new trails, playing fetch, or simply curling up for a quiet afternoon, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I work primarily from home, which allows me to provide lots of companionship, regular potty breaks, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I love spending time outdoors, and dogs in my care typically enjoy multiple walks each day, along with plenty of rest, enrichment, and affection. I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel stressful, so I make communication a priority. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for. I'd love to meet you and your dog. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
Reviews
Nicole took great care of our energetic puppy Corley, and was very flexible and understanding about pick-up time when our return flight was delayed. We would definitely love for Corley to stay with her again!
Nicole was AMAZING with Nugget during the weekend. She was really responsive to texts and provided photos and updates about him while we were away. Nugget loved playing with her dog, Opal. Nicole is so kind and really takes care of other dogs as if they were her own. I will definitely use her services again and recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter.
Very diligent and cooperative. Communication went great. My dog had a great time.
