Pet care experience
Must Love Dogs!
Greetings pet owners and soon to be furry friends! I have been a pet owner for 27 years and I have been entrusted with caring for family and friends’ pets from a very young age. I love the outdoors (during all seasons) and fur babies alike! Meeting each new dog is an enjoyable experience as I adore getting to know your pets, and their unique personalities while in my care. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule, being available most nights and weekends. Working from home allows me to be more present with your fur baby and spoil them with love and attention while you are away. I have various meetings and trainings throughout my work week, so if your pup likes to talk a lot, we might not be the best fit for one another. My home environment: I live in a house with a fenced in backyard, but will chaperone the entire time to assure 100% safety. I have had my chinchilla for a little over 10 years and he resides in a huge run in our basement, so this shouldn’t pose any issues if boarding your dog. I have experience, caring for cats, fish, birds, chinchillas, hamsters, guinea pigs, lizards, frogs, and dogs. What you can expect from me during your dogs boarding or house sit: feeding twice a day, fresh water all day long, two walks a day (20 to 30 minutes each, depending on your dogs, desire), potty breaks every 3 to 4 hours, one hour of playtime inside or out (dog’s preference), and unlimited cuddles with scratches. I always provide a daily update, which includes a couple of photos of your fur baby and a rundown of our adventures of the day. If your dog has special needs or more frequent care is needed let’s chat about it, just know additional charges may apply. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my number one priority, so I am prepared to be outside with your dog for the duration of outdoor time chaperoning, regardless of the season. I keep doors closed in my house to limit wondering for mischief prone dogs. We keep a tidy home also to ensure your pups comfort and safety.
Ratings and reviews
Nicole was fantastic during our two week trip away and looked after our dog trio perfectly. She sent excellent daily updates and made us feel completely at ease during our trip. The daily updates with added pictures and videos were always good to read. Everyone we travelled with agreed “she is awesome”. Our house was left clean, our dogs were happy and 100% will call on Nicole whenever we travel. Thank you for taking care of the crew and putting our minds at ease.
I’m in complete awe of her! She gave me the biggest peace of mind while I was away by not only her daily communication, updates (the best ever!), and pictures of my sweet boy, but how she cared for my home. I’m beyond grateful and will be asking her to spend time here again.
Nicole was amazing with Gump. She stayed a few nights at our house and took extra care of our place and Gump. Nicole even cleaned the house before she left and gave Gump lots of love.
Nicole was great. She watched our 2 pups and gave clear communication everyday while we were on our cruise. She provided us with pictures everyday and a run down of everything they did. This was great because it really puts your worry at ease when out of state. She even provided care for our cats! All of our animals loved her. We will be using her as our go to for now on!
Nicole is a wonderful, caring, person who watches our pooch Lucy. She and spouse are wonderful and we’re so thankful to have found her on Rover. Thank you for miss Lucy during the quick trip Outside.
I dropped off my boy to Nicole, she is so nice for me and my boy!! She took photos to let me know what Sprite is doing, and let him feel at home. Highly recommended!

Schedule
I incorporate the care of your pet into my morning, lunch, and night time routine. If I’m awake, your pet will be beside me. 8 hours of sleep helps me to feel my happiest and healthiest self, so if your dog needs 2-4AM potty breaks, we might not be a good fit for one another. I love being active and am happy to bring your dog along on my daily walks and weekend hikes.
