Safety, trust & environment

I typically don't board animals because I have a cat who isn't too fond of companions. However, I've been home & dogsitting since before I was a teenager. I am happy to care for any plants and treat your home and animals as you would!

Information Nicole L. would like to know about your pet

It's important to know what your pet is used to in your routine and also what they are/are not comfortable with. I am familiar with working with "aggressive" pets and will be glad to assist as long as you are upfront about the dos and donts!

A typical day

I like to keep your babies routines as "normal" as possible while you're away. If you have a routine of feeding, walking, playing etc. I will do my best to accommodate! :)

Lawless Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting for friends, family and friends of friends for around 10 years in addition to my one year of volunteer work at my local animal shelter. I have two dogs, three cats, and three chinchillas of my own and am comfortable looking after whatever animals you may have; dogs, cats, bunnies, reptiles, fish etc. I also have no problem administering medication or watching more difficult pets. I have a full time job elsewhere, but work around that to make sure your pets keep their comfortable schedules! Services I offer include pet/home sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I am flexible with cancellations and usually will accept last minute requests! I’m only unavailable for drop-ins and dog walking Monday through Friday from 8am-3:30pm.

I am so happy we had Nicole house sit it for our two puppies! They have a lot of energy but Nicole lovingly handled them like a pro! I will definitely be booking Nicole in the future!

Nicole was fabulous! She was able to watch our sweet little princess on pretty short notice and our pooch loved her!

Coco is 15 and has never been left with anyone but family. Circumstances changed and we needed help. Nicole has been a blessing to us. She has done many drop-in visits and just recently housesat while we were away on vacation. She very willingly did a few household tasks for us; taking in mail, watering plants, etc.. It was such a blessing going away and knowing Coco was in good hands!

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.
