Pet care experience

My best friends say 'woof'

*Now accepting NEW clients for walks/drop-ins!! Available time slots are 10:30am or 1:30pm In addition to having been around dogs for 30 years, I have professional experience working for a German Shepherd breeder where I was the daily caretaker for 15 dogs ranging from puppy to senior - this demonstrates that I can handle most pet care responsibilities. Having no children and working remotely as a graphic designer means I can provide quality one-on-one care with your pet and flexibility with your schedule. My services include pet/house sitting in your home, drop-ins, and walks (pet sitting in my home under special circumstances). I also have experience with cats, birds, fish, and ferrets and am open to learning about and caring for other species! My dogs' happiness and well being has always been my top priority, and as a Rover client thankfully you share that same loving sentiment.

Nicole was hands down awesome! Our 2 boys loved seeing the photos she would send at each drop-in. One of our dogs was a little slow to warm up at first, but I liked that she didn’t let it bother her. Before we knew it, they were best buds! HIGH RECOMMEND HER!!

Nicole was amazing!! She kept us updated on Sully and took great care of him while we were gone! When we came home the house was exactly as we left it and Sully has been looking everywhere for Nicole! We'll definitely have her back!

Schedule

I work from home so I have very flexible availability, but I do need quite a bit of notice for pet sitting because my schedule tends to fill up quickly.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Nicole can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Learning more about your dog's personality and tendencies will help with the bonding experience and hopefully make your dog feel comfortable with a new person quickly. Any behavior issues like separation anxiety, obsessive chewing, aggression, etc., will also be good to know. Lastly, information about special dietary, physical, or medical needs are a must.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
