Pet care experience
*No longer accepting new clients at this time due a full schedule. Returning clients only* 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.
Reviews
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!!
Very reliable and professional
Nicole has been helping Duke for 4 months on a regular basis. My wife and I could not be happier. We highly recommend Nicole!!!!
Nicole does an amazing job with our energetic yellow lab! I Highly recommend Nicole!
About Nicole H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am available to stay with your pet all day in your home (or in my home under special circumstances) so your pet will never be lonely or go without.
Information Nicole H. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
Walks are a given for a well balanced dog, but exercise needs vary with breed and age, so that is something to discuss with the pet parent. I also try to enrich my dogs' lives as much as possible by introducing them to new games and experiences - for example, my family's labrador loves hide and seek, her kiddie pool, and learning new tricks.
