Pet care experience

Hello! I am a recent master graduate and I am looking to stay in Athens permanently! I have been a volunteer at the Loudoun County Animal Shelter for 5+ years as well as a foster parent for small animals. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, rats, Guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I have always cared for animals and I enjoy sharing an active lifestyle with them. I enjoy hiking and running as well as hanging out/playing with animals. I finished thru-hiking the Appalachian trail in 2023 and have experience with long term planning, communication, dealing with new people/situations, and being organized. I will make sure your fur babies are safe, happy, and well cared for!

Nicole was an amazing sitter from start to finish. Her communication was excellent, and she sent the most adorable daily updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a spotless house, which was such a wonderful bonus. We will absolutely be calling Nicole again for our next trip and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter.

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.
