Pet care experience

Reliable, Attentive Pet Care

In college, I lived with a very particular (and slightly dramatic) cat named Maisie who somehow decided I was her person. That experience taught me how much animals thrive when they feel secure, understood, and cared for. Since joining Rover, I’ve worked with a variety of dogs, gaining experience with different personalities, energy levels, and walking styles. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s an active walk to burn off energy or a slower, more relaxed pace with extra reassurance. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, and consistent so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow all care instructions and routines closely to keep pets comfortable while you’re away. On walks, I keep pets safely leashed and stay attentive to our surroundings at all times. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain a clean, calm environment that keeps your pet at ease. I’m a non-smoker and take pride in being tidy, dependable, and detail-oriented. I’m also happy to bring in mail, water plants, or help with small household tasks to make your time away as stress-free as possible.

Nicole did an amazing job at watching our dog Georgi overnight in our home. It was our first time leaving him overnight and we felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing Nicole was there with him. She communicated a lot throughout her time in our home with how things were going and included many pictures. She was polite to our space and kept it clean when she left. We would definitely recommend her and will be rebooking in the future!

Nicole is a wonderful dog sitter. She stayed in our home for an extended time while we were away. She was kind, caring and took great care of our old dog who needs a little extra care. Nicole is extremely communicative and sent a ton of updates, which was great. We look forward to using her again in the near future!!

Before each booking, I like to understand your pet’s routine, any special needs, triggers, favorite activities, and behaviors to be aware of. This helps me maintain consistency and provide care that keeps your pet feeling safe, comfortable, and understood.
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.
