Pet care experience

I love cats & they usually love me

I have loved cats since I was a little girl, and have fostered and had many of my own over the years. I would be delighted for the chance to come spend time with your kitties, tend to the litter box, play and/or provide pets and cuddles if they're down for it. I approach each cat with care and pay attention to their body language; I let them come to me, and appreciate that they each have their own quirks and personalities. My goal is to provide care and comfort in your absence, particularly if they are on the nervous side. Even though nothing replaces time with you, my hope is that they are noticeably less stressed when you return from your next trip.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I require a meet and greet for every appointment, and to have veterinary information either in your pet's profile, or via text message. I generally ask a lot of questions to understand your pet's preferences and habits, which ensures I'm prepared to provide the best care possible.

I’v booked Nicole before and will book her again if she’s available. If you want someone who is reliable, proactive, resourceful, detail-oriented, and a great communicator and lover of kitties, I highly recommend Nicole. She just watched my cat for 18 days and handled some unusual circumstances remarkably well. She thoroughly explained her concerns; used good judgement in addressing the situations; and ran everything by me before initiating a different protocol. I love that she understands and executes very detailed instructions; knows how to engage my cat in play; and has developed an emotional bond with my 11 yr old cat. While I miss my kitty, I know she’s well cared for by Nicole.

Nicole was awesome. She is responsible and caring. My cat trusted her already after the second visit. They played and snuggled while we were gone. She was also flexible when we had a traveling delay and needed her for additional visits. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely book her again.

Schedule

I'm currently working for a non-profit and have time in the mornings or evenings to care for your kitties during the week, and all day on the weekends.

Cats
Nicole can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I'll ask about medical conditions or allergies, toy and play preferences, and any reactivity or anxiety. I’ll ask about bite or other aggression history so I learn more about the circumstances to avoid with your pet.
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.
