Pet care experience

Your Pet’s Favorite Backup Human

What sets me apart is the level of attention and reliability I bring to every pet in my care. I understand that each animal has its own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel safe and happy. I am patient with energetic puppies, respectful of senior pets who may need a slower pace, and comfortable following detailed feeding, medication, and care instructions. I will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.

Nicole does an amazing job with Thea and makes me feel secure in knowing she’s being doted on when I’m away. The rover cards are always detailed and with the best pictures.

Nicole has let my dog stay with her before, and she was amazing. He was an adult Doberman, so saying that he was a little “spastic” is quite an understatement! However, she was amazing and I’m pretty sure he loved staying with her more than staying with me after just the first night! When it comes to caring for animals, she’s second to none! I would highly recommend Nicole when it comes to dog-sitting, you’ll be happy you chose her to take care of your pets!

Schedule

Because I am not currently working full-time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent, unrushed attention throughout the day. I can easily incorporate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, medication, and companionship into my daily routine. My availability also allows me to accommodate pets that need extra supervision, frequent check-ins, or a little more time to feel comfortable with someone new.

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care to each pet’s normal routine, personality, and specific needs. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or theirs, I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and household instructions closely. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and quiet time as needed, while also keeping their environment clean, safe, and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I am respectful of the space and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

Pets

A typical day

Activities will depend on each pet’s personality, energy level, and normal routine. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing fetch or tug, practicing basic commands, providing enrichment with toys and treats, and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. For lower-energy or senior pets, I am just as happy providing gentle play, short walks, quiet companionship, and plenty of cuddle time. My goal is to keep every pet comfortable, engaged, and happy while they are in my care.

I have no breed preferences, I welcome all shapes, sizes, and kinds! I would recommend meeting your pet(s) before final booking so that I know the mannerisms and routine of your pet.
