Experienced Pet Sitter & Vet Tech
Pet care experience
I have been pet sitting for 14+ years, doing dog walks, visits, and overnight pet/home sitting. I completed my Bachelors Degree in Animal Science in 2012 and have been a veterinary technician for 10+ years. Being a veterinary technician has equipped me with many skills including but not limited to: being proficient in administering medications, being experienced in caring for special needs pets, and dealing with those unexpected pet emergencies. In addition to regular dog walking and drop-in care for any of your pets, I also offer the following services: extra-long walks for dogs needing extra exercise (1 hr walk $35); nail trimming ($20); anal gland expression ($30); and medication administration ($5/administration). *Nail trims and Anal gland expression must be scheduled when the owner is available to hold the pet. I will instruct you how to properly restrain the pet for these procedures and will bring my own supplies.* *Medication administration fees apply only to medications that require the pet to be hand-pilled (pill or liquid), injected (insulin, fluids, etc.), and eye/ear/topical medications. If your medication can be added to the pets food, there will be no extra charge.* Pet sitting is a side job for me that I do around my regular job(s). Rover's settings will not allow me to be more specific about my availability so to clarify, my available hours for pet sitting are as follows: M-F (Before 6:00am and after 4:30pm); Sat/Sun (Any time pending other obligations)
Reviews
This was our first time using Rover or leaving our cats for more than a day and we had a great experience with Rover and Nicole. Both cats seemed at ease with her when she came over prior to us leaving and even my shy cat came over to greet her. She was very professional and put us at ease, especially with getting the pictures and Rover cards. She even went the extra mile to get us our new customer discount by calling Rover when it wouldn't apply to our checkout. Very satisfied!
Nicole was great. Our dogs were well taken care of, and she sent great updates so we didn't have to worry about them while we were gone. Thanks so much Nicole!
Nicole was great with my cat Ron. He's an older cat that needed some medication and she was able to administer it to him despite his cranky nature. She also took care of his other needs and everything was perfect when I returned. It was great having someone with vet tech experience available to take care of an older pet. Would definitely recommend!
Great service on short notice. Easy to communicate with and fast responses. Received daily pics along with the updates. Came home to a happy pup!
