Safety, trust & environment

I am really active and walk my own pup each day. We are constantly doing puzzle games and playing fetch. My pup is overwhelmed with another dog’s company or when there is a lot of movement on walks, so I can sympathize and understand dogs with varying personalities and triggers. I am a very alert care giver.

Information Nicole G. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed preferences, but knowing of any special needs would be great! It is also helpful to know their overall demeanor and their regular schedule to make sure I’m a good fit.

A typical day

I love walking parks and residential neighborhoods! I can’t wait to take your pup along with me if they enjoy walks, runs, or time outside. Additionally, I enjoy laidback visits as well. If your pup just needs company for a few hours if they’re anxious to be alone, I’m happy to visit and be there for them to break up a long day. I can always hangout and study or play with them indoors if it’s too hot to be out mid-day.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Nicole and I am originally from Colorado. I decided to move to Seattle in 2020 but recently relocated to San Gabriel in March 2026. I’m currently a law school grad trying to make some extra cash while I study for the bar exam. I would love to help out with your pup as I’m always in need of study breaks! I have had dogs my whole life and am very attentive. I have my own dog now (a 4 year old doodle). He is quite a character and is leash reactive, so I have extensive experience walking sensitive pups, avoiding triggers, foxtails, using treats on walks to distract, etc. (my dog would not be joining me while I care for your fur babies).

Nicole was very good at communicating and kept me up to date on how my pup was doing. She sent me lots of pictures and took him on many walks. He was good and tired by the time I picked him up! I would definitely use her to sit my dog again.

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.
