Experienced Pup Caregiver
Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs my entire life. Never have had less than 3 dogs at once. Prior to relocating to North Carolina, I worked full-time for an established South Tampa pet-sitting/ vacation care company. I am available on a part-time and vacation basis. I work full-time from home so I am able to give your pup all the attention needed while they are in my home. I try to keep your pup's routine as close to normal as I possibly can. I want them to feel comfortable and relaxed and I want you as a pet parent, to feel that same way. Your pup will be well taken care of and be treated as if they were one of my own family members. Available for Biltmore pet care as well! If you are in from out of town and want to tour the Biltmore house, I’ll come pick up your dog prior to estate entry at the ticket or gatehouse, take them for a walk off property while you enjoy the house tour and drop them back off to you when you are finished. 2($60) or 4($110)-hour care visit available on the weekends only. If an extended time period is needed, we can discuss on an individual basis to see if my schedule permits. Oral/ Injections Medications I'm familiar with oral medications. Additionally, I had a diabetic dog and had to administer insulin shots 2x daily. While that was some time ago, I am confident with a refresher conversation (should your pup require shots) I can handle it. Special needs/Senior pups I have experience in caring for older/ senior/special needs pups. Unfortunately, my handsome man passed away last year but he didn't have the use of his back legs and required assistance in going outside. I'm comfortable with handling chest harnesses, wheelchairs etc if necessary. In addition, I have cared for many senior pups and I understand the health issues that come with age and they may not be as mobile as they once were. Please let me know if any such issues exist.
Reviews
Nicole has been sick a blessing! She has been coming by for a few weeks now to take my dog out when I’m at work. She is extremely reliable, professional, and nice! She always sends photos and updates about his day after each visit. I can tell from the photos that he is obsessed with her and really enjoys her visits! I’d recommend her to everyone but don’t make her too busy, because we still love her visits and look forward to many more!!
Wonderful first rover experience. Nicole was easy to book at the last minute and kept us up to date with pictures. Will book with Nicole again! Thanks
Nicole was wonderful help last minute when we wanted to go inside the Biltmore estate, but needed someone to walk our dogs somewhere to do this. She met us and took great care of our dogs while we toured the house, and then met us again after our tour at the ticket office. Worked out great! Sent pictures of their walk and pups were taken great care of it. One of our dogs is 18, and she was very kind and careful with him.
Nicole was a fantastic cat-sitter for my wife and I while we were away. She followed all my instructions to the letter and was kept us constantly updated. She was a godsend during a difficult time and I definitely look forward to booking her again in the future!

I have a farm property with the larger property fenced in but the smaller yard is not fenced in. I do have one dog and she is not friendly with other dogs. However, she is excellent with baby gates (my fiance has a dog and this is how we manage our house. There is never aggression through the gate) and I will always take an extra precaution in separating her from your dog via another room entirely or a baby gate!
Home
Information Nicole L. would like to know about your pet
While I don't have any reservations towards specific breeds, I need to know if there are any aggression issues with your pup at the meet and greet. I have rescued pups prior and currently own rescues, so I understand that every dog is different and may come from a difficult background. I want to do everything I can can to encourage a mutual trust and calm any fears your pup may have.
A typical day
Your pup will get quality attention during our time together. I am home all day and work around the house or will take them on a walk down the driveway or for a ride into to town if I need to run an errand.
