My priority is to make your pets as comfortable as possible while you’re away and ensure that their needs are being met. No request is too specific! As a dog mom, I know we follow specific rituals, schedules, or feeding requests to keep our pets comfy :) I am always willing to accommodate to them, just let me know!

Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any behaviors you want me to redirect or behaviors that I need to account for. For example, chewing things they shouldn’t or reactivity!

A typical day

I love to enrich your pets mentally and physically, whether that’s long, sniffy walks, playing with toys, or practicing tricks! Let me know your pets favorite activity so we can have the best time together!!

Kind & attentive care for your pets

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been part of our family. I’ve had experience caring for family pets, dog sitting for friends, and cat sitting for my professors. I have experience taking care of a wide variety of dogs, including puppies as young as 8 weeks old, high energy dogs, 100+ pound dogs, and reactive dogs. Getting a dog as an adult has completely changed the game for me and I’ve gone full-blown dog mom mode. This has allowed me to become very attentive to specific needs and expectations for pets and their owners!

Nicole did an excellent job house sitting and taking care of my Berners. My dogs love her and we will definitely request her service again in the future.

Nicole just stayed with my dog, Bernard, for a week and has been absolutely wonderful. He’s a slow burn and can be reactive and she was incredibly patient, understanding, and kind to both of us while we built up a relationship leading up to this long stay. She shared with me multiple photos and updates throughout her stay and kept me updated on Bernard’s behavior and how he slowly opened up to her. He really needed this type of care and patience and I am so glad I found Nicole on here. I felt so at ease while gone (usually very anxious about leaving him!) and I credit my ease to Nicole 100%. I will absolutely continue with her as a pet sitter for as long as she’ll have me!

Nicole took each of my dogs on an hour walk, in the rain, and they came back nice and tired.

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.
