Experienced Pet Sitter 🐈‍⬛🐕

Hi! My name is Nicole. I love animals and have lots of experience caring for them. I have worked through rover for about three years now, and I have lots of experience from other jobs I have done. My most recent job was working at a animal shelter where I was in charge of maintaining both cats and dogs kennels, as well as walking and playing with them. I also volunteered since middle school working with foster animals and finding forever homes for them. From this I have experience handling dogs and cats of pretty much all personality types as I have taken care of so many. I also have experience with newborn kittens and puppies as well. I have experience with elderly dogs from fostering as well as my own family dog who I nursed back to health after he injured his legs leaving him paralyzed for months. I helped him regain movement in his legs through physical therapy, helped administer medicine, and helped him in using the bathroom. I have also cared for cats with paralysis as well from working at a rehabilitation clinic and I have experience bathing and cleaning up after them. I understand how much time and attention it takes for dogs or cats with special needs and if your babies have any specific needs I would be happy to care for them. I have experience working with exotic pets as well, my major is in Environmental Science with a focus in wildlife. I have worked with caring after all types of birds including injured and baby birds, foxes, rabbits, turtles, etc. This work was done at a rehab center where animals would come in in serious condition. From this experience I learned how to keep a level head and know how to help animals in different conditions. I am very patient, detail oriented, and observant when taking care of animals. I would love to be able to help you take care of your babies! If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to message me. If you book I’ll reach out to set up a meet and greet with you and your pet prior to the booking. I’ll be sure to send lots of pictures and updates for you throughout the stay. Thank you, Nicole :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I make sure that they are in a calm and happy environment. I like to take them out for potty breaks frequently (every 1-2 hours), or as needed. I am very flexible with any preferences that the client has for their pets needs.

Nicole took such good care of our dog, and under challenging circumstances. I highly recommend Nicole, and will definitely use her again.

Nicole did an excellent job pet sitting our 2 cats and dog. She provided frequent updates and put our boys at ease while we were away. We came back to a clean apartment and happy pets. We will be booking again!

Nicole was the best sitter we’ve ever had. She stayed at our house and took great care of our German Shepherd, Remus. She was always on time, sent multiple pics and updates, and did so much to play and spend time with him while we were gone. Nicole was very easy to communicate with and she also left our house spotless! She made it easy to go on vacation and not worry about our pup. We can’t wait to have her back!
