Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Nicole and I would be thrilled to care for your pets as if they were my own. Going on a holiday trip and don't want to kennel your pets? Let me take care of them for you and avoid the boarding process! I will come drop in to feed, water, potty, and of course PLAY!! I would love the opportunity to meet you and care for your fur babies! I’m available for early morning visits and afternoons/evenings during the week, and anytime on weekends. My schedule is flexible, so I’m glad to discuss and accommodate to your needs! I lived in Alabama for 16 years and moved to Massachusetts in 2021. I’ve been pet sitting via Rover for several years, and have especially enjoyed meeting new clients in New England! I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and I'm interested in getting my Master's in Clinical Psychology with a focus on Animal Assisted Therapy. I currently work as a Senior Systems Engineer. I have had pets my entire life, and have pet-sat for friends, family, and clients for over 24 years! I am friendly, patient, dependable, and have experience caring for all types of animals of various ages and temperaments. I also have experience caring for sick animals (including administering medicine). I currently have one dog (Opie), a cat (Kittina), and one bunny (Alice). My pets are my world, and I will treat your pets with the same dignity, respect, and care that mine receive! (Please feel free to message me to get $20 off if this is your first time using Rover!)
Reviews
I can’t say enough positive things to describe how wonderful Nicole(Nikki) is with cats. She is THE cat whisperer. In her profile, she describes how she is able to work with shy kitties. She is 100% correct with that statement. One of my two cats tends to hide when there is a new person that comes into the home. Not with Nicole. My shy kitty greeted her at the front door as soon as she walked in. That is a first for her. It was immediately apparent that both my kitties were in love with her like she had been caring for them for years. It was such a beautiful thing to see. If you are looking for someone to take care of your kitty or kitties, you absolutely must hire Nicole. Moving forward, she is my new permanent choice for taking care of the girls while I am away.
Nicole was exactly what we were looking for as first time Rover users. She volunteered to meet us and our kitties in person, and communicated A LOT throughout our booking. She sent lots of pictures and made us feel comfortable leaving our cats while we traveled. Our cats clearly enjoyed their time with Nicole and if/when needed, we will rebook with her immediately!!
Nicole watched my sweet kitty Nala over the holidays. She was absolutely spectacular and I felt so much comfort knowing Nala was in her hands. She went above and beyond to make sure Nala got cuddles, treats, fresh water, and sent tons of pictures.
Nicole was great with our kitty, Peabody! She made sure she got her medication every day and gave her lots of love and attention. She also sent us a ton of pictures every day which was so great because we missed our Peabody very much! We would definitely use Nicole again in the future!

Before sitting for a pet, I'd like to know... - What is their daily routine? - Are they spayed/neutered? - Do they have any special needs or aversions?

When watching your pet, I will accommodate to any of your pets needs. I can play with them several times a day, give them (approved) treats, administer cuddles as needed, and make them feel comfortable while their owners are away. I can even take your pet on walks if requested!
