Highlights
Pet care experience
Elementary teacher gone pet sitter
My experience with pets includes all types of critters ranging from 2 legged feathered ones, 4 legged scaly ones, to 4 legged furry ones. I'm the proud mommy of 3 very catty cat, and 2 sweet bunnies. My pets are part of my family, and that is exactly how I will treat yours as well. Having taught preschool and elementary students, I'm quite efficient at managing sometimes unpredictable schedules and different personalities. I'm very playful, yet organized, and love working with all kinds of animals. I'm patient, and enjoy watching their personalities unfold as they get to know me better. I Have worked with senior and ailing animals, so I am more than capable to handle any emergency should one occur. I can administer medications as well. I generally require a meet and greet to assure we are all a match. To me, my clients are part of my extended family, and I prefer long-term clients over constantly rotating ones. Leaving pets behind is always stressful, and having a long-term relationship with a sitter makes the separation a lot easier for both the pet and the owner.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort are always priority. During my time as a teacher, I learned that clear communication is key to any successful relationship. I require a free meet and greet before accepting any request. The meet and greet is a great time for you, your pet, and me to get to know each other and discuss any routines and special considerations. I also request that you provide a written list of all important information including feeding and walking schedules, and a list of emergency contacts and veterinary information. My grandmother taught me, “it’s better to be safe than sorry”, and I am grateful to take this lesson with me into my profession.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was incredible! She took superb care of our pup and home. We can't wait to have her back.
Nicole was great! Her sunny personality helped me with my dog who is afraid of strangers, she warmed up to Nicole in no time!
Nicole did an amazing job! This is our first time using Rover. We had never had a complete stranger come to our house for house and pet sit before. Nicole did an excellent job of communicating throughout the stay. If she doesn’t know something she will ask first. She consistently updates us with pictures which we love. At one point she thought she messed up and communicated to us but she actually did the right thing. I love the transparency and honesty. One of our dogs require a lot of care and Nicole was up for the challenge. If you have a dog that requires a lot of care rest assure Nicole will be able to handle them. She knows how to give dogs medication. She left the house clean and even offered to do the laundry for us. I really appreciate her telling us when she leaves the house and how long. Communication is top notch which then helps us feel more at peace with our babies. We love our babies so much and wants to know they are well taken care of. And they were certainly well taken care of by Nicole.
Nicole is fantastic! My dog is wary of new people, and she met with us twice before our first booking to make sure he was comfortable with her. She sent great photos and updates the whole time, and I was completely at ease that my pups were well taken care of. Thank you, Nicole!
Nicole was fantastic - great experience from start to finish. Our pup was so happy with Nicole. I will 100% book again!
Nicole did an amazing job taking care of my three boys for a week over this past holiday! I have two greyhounds and a parrot, and they all loved her so much. She kept in close contact during the whole stay and sent lots of pictures. I could tell how happy my boys were under her care. She treated them just like her own pets and gave them lots of love. I look forward to hiring Nicole to watch my boys again in the future.

Schedule
As a freelance care provider and photographer, the ability to create a flexible schedule allows me to give my utmost attention and energy to your pets when they are in my care. I always stay at the clients house for overnight bookings, so your pets will have plenty of company. I couldn’t ask for a more rewarding way to spend my time than hanging out with furry friends.
