Information Nicole K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is learning certain commands that I can practice with them. Any preferences or routines your little furry friend is helpful to know so I can replicate as best as possible.

A typical day

I like to take dogs on nice long walks to nearby dog parks so they have plenty of time on grass. Both cats and dogs will get lots of cuddles and pets, along with the obligatory “what a cute boy/girl” and the “big stretch” whenever I see fit:)

Pet care experience

I have been volunteering at an animal shelter for a couple of years now and I love caring for animals with a passion. At the shelter, I work with both dogs and cats so I am experienced in both categories in that case that you have both dogs and cats. I will provide your dog with endless amounts of love and care, and I am very responsible and pride myself on my punctuality. I am able to work with any kinds of dogs and am able to work with both puppies and older dogs. I am also able to cater to the dog’s needs whether it be a high-energy dog or an older dog that needs specific care. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will be more than happy to answer anything that you might be wondering.

Nicole loved on our dog, Winston, so well! We went to a wedding and needed a last minute dog walker for the evening and she was great. Super attentive and flexible! Thank you!

Nicole did a great job taking care of our greyhound! She listened closely to all of our instructions and sent tons of pics so that we knew our pup was doing well. Will definitely book her again for future trips!

Nicole went above and beyond what we could have hoped for Maple! She is attentive, caring, and flexible. She's our person to call whenever we need a pet sitter! Thank you so much!

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.
