Can I snuggle your pet?

Hey there, I’m Nicole! I've had pets my whole life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies. I probably even captured a few frogs. Most recently I added a VERY social yorkie puppy to my life, but previous to him I was a dog mom for 17 yrs to another pup. When he passed away, it left a big void in my life for a furry friend. This is where Rover came in! My heart is big with lots of love to give to pets. I am familiar to being around small size dogs to big dogs (my brother has had many boxers). I hope that I can provide my unconditional love and attention to your family pets. Please let me know if you have any questions, or how I can help you. Looking forward to working with you! If you have anything outside of my shown availability, even if it is marked out on my calendar, please still feel free to reach out to inquire about dates in need. I prefer to keep pets on their most comfortable schedule and environment. I have no problem sharing a bed with a pet! Snuggler for life!!! When I visit your home, I am happy to feed, walk, play with your pet, and put pets into kennels as needed.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am extremely detailed in the care for your pet and home. I always try to leave the house in the state it was at arrival, and will do a follow up after you have returned home to make sure everything was up to your expectations. I have a Petsitting Information sheet that I share with clients that helps to get to know the routine, personality, and lifestyle of each pet. This is a requirement before every Housesitting stay, and filled out before the Meet & Greet. It is my one source go-to for all things involving your booking.

Nicole is our preferred sitter! She continues to be responsive, responsible and so thorough. Overall, just wonderful to work with and we trust her with our cat's care.

Nicole remains one of the best Rover's we have used! She's communicative, thorough and very caring for our cat and his environment. I know we're in good hands when she's on watch!

Nicole was AMAZING!! It is always really hard for me to leave my animals, but Nicole made me feel so comfortable that they were in good hands. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her for help in the future!

Nicole was very reliable and made me feel at ease while out of town. She was great to provide me with updates about how my pup was doing and she was punctual with her visits. Would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for pet care in Austin.

I would love to know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I can plan for. What are their fears and triggers? I am willing to administer medicine if needed. I just ask that you please leave me detailed information.
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.
