Lover of all animals, big or small!
Pet care experience
I have always loved animals. I’ve had quite a few pets in my life (cats, rodents, reptiles, and fish) and have always loved caring for them. Right now I have three cats but no dogs, unfortunately I can’t have my own right now. The dog I listed as mine is my family dog that I care for when I visit back home (Rico). I chose Rover because I felt it was a good way to still have dogs (and other animals) in my life and to help people in my neighborhood. I’d treat your pets as if they were my own! Please feel free to contact me at any point before, during, or after I watch your pup(or cat!). I am more than willing to answer any questions, or address any concerns you may have. If you would like to schedule a meet and greet prior to me caring for your pet, I’d be happy to arrange that. *** Please keep in mind the distance of commute to you when looking to book services with me. Typically I service the downtown Ithaca, and surrounding areas. If you are more than 15 miles out, we can still discuss care but typically I’ll only accept house sitting bookings if you’re far out*** ***Please consider leaving a tip and/or review if you’re pleased with the services provided! Rover takes 20% of my earnings as a fee. Any tips/reviews received allows me to continue providing services!*Thank you in advance!** I want to give your fur babies the best treatment possible. I just ask that you please let me know if there are any specific things they may need! Thank you!

I care for your pets as if they were my own. I don’t typically pet sit in my own home as I have 3 cats.
Home
Information Nicole I. would like to know about your pet
I don’t have any breed preferences however I’d like to know of any medical issues, behavioral problems or care preferences (scheduled eating/walking, food measurements etc). I’d also love to know what your dog likes so I know how to treat him/her the way they’re used to, for example: -do they have spots they don’t like to be pet? -do they get easily scared or riled up? -do they have favorite activities or toys?
A typical day
* I’ll be sure to take your pup on long or short walks (whatever is preferred). * Play with any available toys to keep your pup(s) engaged *Practice commands/tricks (if applicable & with your consent) and reward with treats!

Availability
I currently work full time, 9a-5pm, M-F as an insurance agent but will happily make accommodations when I can. I have the option to work remotely with my laptop so if booking on a weekday (for things like house sitting) please keep in mind I may need to use your wifi for work purposes. There is potential for me to get time off, however it’d be completely up to my boss. Many of my house sitting bookings allow me to stay the morning and night, and go to my work days for the 6-8 hrs. Just let me know what your expectations are and what you need and we can work from there!
