Veterinary Science Major

Pet care experience

Hello! I am recently picking things back up on Rover. I have both large and small animal experience. In the past, I have worked at two different barns, a pig farm and a small horse farm. I graduated UMass Amherst studying veterinary science & biology. I have experience with a variety of species and sizes. I myself have owned dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, fish, chickens, geese, ducks, a ferret and even a hedgehog! I also have experience with livestock such as cows, sheep, goats, and pigs. I am an animal lover! I don’t stop at dogs and cats, I have sat a variety of pets here on rover including rats! I am comfortable with puppies and older more fragile dogs. I am also able to administer medications. Please contact me if interested. I am flexible and very friendly! Thank you!

Nicole is always wonderful with our quirky, senior dog! Can’t say enough good things.

Nicole recently checked in on our cat while we were away to feed and give medication to her. She followed all of our directions and gave us a detailed update with pictures from each visit. We highly recommend Nicole and would be happy to have her take care of our cat again.

Nicole was awesome! She was super communicative and knowledgeable and handled all of Louise’s quirks and complicated feeding/meds instructions with ease. We enjoyed the regular photos/updates and appreciated how neat and tidy the house was when we returned. We will definitely have Nicole back!

Cooper clearly had a great time hanging out with Nicole and she did such a good job communicating how his time went (including many cute photos)! We will definitely be using her services often.

I accept all breeds. Let me know if you are potty trained, what your favorite activities are, what your dietary needs are, if you get car sick, if you are / aren't allowed on furniture, if you get along with other animals, etc.

I enjoy finding new routes for walks and mountain trails. Even dog parks or swimming if your pups up for it! Let me know what you're comfortable with!
