🐾 Reliable Hamilton Co. Pup Care

👋 Hi, I’m Nicole! As a lifelong Hamilton County resident centered in the Westfield area, I bring a level of maturity, stability, and deep pet-care experience that gives families total peace of mind. I proudly serve pet parents across Westfield, Carmel, Noblesville, Fishers, and surrounding areas. With a daily schedule that allows excellent flexibility, I offer the true consistency and reliable availability your dogs need to maintain a seamless daily routine. My focus is primarily on daytime drop-ins and daily walks, though I do consider overnight house-sitting on a case-by-case basis. Whether your dogs need attentive daytime check-ins or routine exercise, I provide high-quality care you can count on without exception. 🐕 Service Breakdown: ☀️ DROP-INS (30 Minutes): Perfect for a quick reset during the day. Every drop-in includes 5–10 minutes of walk or backyard time, a refresh of food, clean water, medications, and indoor playtime. The Rover Report: You'll receive a Rover Card showing exact arrival/departure times, photos, and a detailed potty/behavior update. 🌳 WALKS (30 Minutes): Dedicated entirely to a long walk and focused outdoor time—ideal for active dogs or homes without a yard. Includes a full, structured walk tailored to your dog's pace and a food/water refresh upon return. The Rover Report: The app provides a GPS map of our exact route, distance covered, timestamps, photos, and a quick potty report. 🏡 HOUSE SITTING (Overnights - Available case-by-case): A true dog slumber party! Your pup stays entirely in their familiar environment, keeping their stress low. Includes complete, dedicated care tailored to their schedule, basic home care (watering plants, trash, mail), and daily check-ins with photo updates. To ensure the highest level of safety and focused attention, I only take on ONE house-sitting client at a time. I accept overnight stays selectively based on compatibility.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

How I care for pets in your home: Because I provide care exclusively in your home and neighborhood, my top priority is maintaining a secure, predictable, and low-stress environment for your pets. I treat your home with the utmost respect and keep safety at the forefront of every single visit. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & House Sitting): Strict Routine Adherence: I follow your exact instructions regarding feeding, gating, crating, and medication windows to keep your dog's day entirely predictable. Environmental Management: For dogs with anxiety or sensitivity to storms and fireworks, I proactively manage the environment—closing blinds, playing calming background music, and utilizing precise comforting techniques to minimize stress. Home Security & Discretion: I ensure doors are securely locked, alarms are set, and gates are latched during every entry and exit. While house-sitting, I maintain a lived-in presence, bring in mail, and strictly respect your privacy and property. Out on Walks: Double-Check Gear: Before stepping outside, I always verify that collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted and in good condition. Distraction-Free Handling: I maintain full situational awareness on our walks. I do not use headphones or look at my phone, ensuring my eyes are always on your dog, the path ahead, and any oncoming distractions or stray animals. Weather Safety: I actively monitor weather. If pavements are too hot for paws or a storm rolls in, we will seamlessly pivot to structured, energetic indoor play and mental stimulation to keep your pup safe and happy.

Nicole was extremely professional and easy to work with. She responded very quickly when I first sent out the request and was even able to come make it over to our house for a quick meet and greet before we finalized and booked. She was attentive and detailed in her check in’s with my dogs. Next time we go out of town I will definitely be re-booking with Nicole!

Schedule

I operate on a highly flexible daily schedule, which allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my routine without rushing. Whether I am dropping in for a daytime visit or house-sitting overnights, your dog’s schedule becomes my priority. My routine allows me to provide an extended daytime presence for dogs who need extra companionship, ensuring they are never left alone for long stretches. I plan my weeks around my bookings to guarantee absolute punctuality and reliability for every dog I care for.

To ensure I provide the safest, most consistent, and high-quality care for your pup, please share a few quick details about them before our Meet & Greet: ⛈️ ROUTINE & TRIGGERS: Do they have any specific fears or triggers (like thunderstorms, fireworks, loud trucks, or stray animals)? 🐕 BEHAVIOR ON WALKS: How do they react to seeing other dogs or people while on a leash? Do they have a tendency to pull or bolt? 💊 HEALTH & DIETARY NEEDS: Are there any strict medication windows, food allergies, or specific dietary restrictions I need to follow? 🦴 MULTI-DOG DYNAMICS: For multi-dog households, do they need to be fed separately, or are there any resource-guarding behaviors I should be aware of? 🔑 HOME LOGISTICS: Are there any specific house rules, off-limit rooms, or security/alarm protocols I should know for drop-ins or house sitting?
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.
