Pet care experience
I’ve dog and cat sat for multiple families in my past. I’m reliable, flexible, and I have a true love for all animals. I have a soft spot for dogs because I grew up with a greyhound rescue and he was my best friend!
Reviews
Nicole was wonderful! She communicated quickly, had an accurate calendar, and most importantly was wonderful with our pup. Will definitely schedule with her again😊
Nicole is amazing! We changed plans SO many times and she was understanding and patient. She did really well with our pooch too—he’s a nervous boy but warmed up to her. She followed instructions and went the extra mile. We will definitely be contacting Nicole in the future!
Nicole did an amazing job with my pup. This was my first time using Rover and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find someone to match the energy of my Australian Cattle Dog. Nicole exceeded all expectations and did such an incredible job with my boy. She sent many updates and pictures and left my place immaculate. I couldn’t have had a better first experience with Rover and I would easily recommend Nicole for anything your companion needs! Thank you Nicole!
I had Nicole watch over my two dogs (French Bulldog & Dachshund) many times over the past two summers. She began through babysitting my youngest daughter, but we requested she watch over our two, energetic pups while we went away on vacation and weekend trips. She was always willing and eager to do so and she was great with both our dogs. They're not the most active dogs, but she brought them out when needed and would bring them on reasonable walks quite a lot. Overall, she has been a very reliable sitter for our family and we highly recommend her to anyone in search of a caregiver.
About Nicole M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m working at a clients home, I provide a lot of respect for both the place and the animal(s). I like to create a comfortable environment and a trusting relationship between the animals that I care for and me. If animals are shy or aggressive at first, I will start slow and be considerate of their space. The relationship I have with the animals I care for is very important to me and I like to develop a trusting bond with them and make them feel safe. As for house-sitting at my own place, I have two properties in Massachusetts. One is an apartment in Boston and the other is my family house in Dedham. My family house has a large, fenced-in backyard in a safe neighborhood. My family just includes my parents and me and we’re very loving especially towards dogs. We live right near Wilson Mountain Reservation which is a great place to walk your leashed dog.
Information Nicole M. would like to know about your pet
Before I care for your pet, I’d like to know if they have any disabilities, health problems I should be aware of, behavioral issues, problems/tips for being transported in a car, and if they get along with other animals. Anything that can trigger your pet I would like to know about!
A typical day
I love getting active and keeping up with the dogs I watch! I love to have interactive play with dogs and keep them moving around. One of my favorite places to explore with furry friends is Wilson Mountain Reservation. I live right beside it and it’s a very beautiful, serene place that is perfect for dogs! I know a lot of different trails around my area as well and I’d love to explore. Millenium Park is a great place to go for dogs as well and have big fields perfect for playtime.

Availability
I’m available from April to August for all your pet care needs! From April to end of June I have a pretty clear schedule besides some trips I’ll be taking and my availability should be logged in my calendar (and everything should be accurate). I work full-time starting in July until mid August so it may be hard for me to fit pet-sitting into my schedule during the weekdays of July and August, but I’ll be available everyday during those times after 4pm or all day on weekends. If you are interested and aren’t sure about my availability, please reach out and I will get back to you right away!
