Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs as I am comfortable and experienced with handling most pets with extra medical or behavioral needs.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks through the neighborhood and on trails in the area. If your dog has a favorite park or trail I can also take them there as well.

Pet care experience

I have years of clinical vet assistant experience and I am currently in school to become a licensed vet tech. Prior to my clinical experience, I worked in the animal welfare field at Seattle Humane as an adoptions advisor which was such a rewarding experience. I took care of animals on a daily basis at the shelter and matched dogs and cats with the perfect adopters. I am trained and certified in animal first aid and CPR. I have extensive training and knowledge about proper handling and care for most breeds and temperaments. This includes dogs and cats that are shy and fearful of new people or environments. During my career I also worked with feral cats and am an expert with stress free handling techniques. I love having the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of animals and their amazing pet parents!

Nicole is wonderful and very reliable. I will definitely request her to help with my pets again and would not hesitate recommending her to anyone in the future. Very happy she was able to help.

We're always very comfortable leaving our little boy with Nicole. She's great, always on time, very easy to work with and Randy loves her.

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.
