Information Nicole P. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. Prior to sitting a dog I would like to know the feeding/bathroom schedule, if there are any health issues, if the dog is confrontational at first, protective of food or toys, and if the dog is high/low energy. I would also like to know areas of the house the dog can and can't be in, and if the dog is crate trained. Last, does the dog have to be fenced in, or can the dog be let out without any containment.

A typical day

A typical day is the dogs normal routine of feeding and potty breaks, I can throw in at least 1-2 walks so the dog can get exercise! We have a fenced yard available as needed.

Pet care experience

I am a physical therapist who has a passion for working with people, however, I interact with people quite often. SO, what I really enjoy is making the time to cuddle or walk with furry friends any chance I can get. As a former doctoral student, I have learned how to manage time well, organize and prioritize. I have over 8 years of experience dog sitting for family members and these dogs include small breeds (Coton de Tulear and Dachshund), medium breeds (Beagle/Australian Sheperd mix) and large breeds (Pitbull/Boxer mix, Boxer, and Lab/Pitbull mix). I have administered medication on a strict schedule, bathed, walked and snuggled with all of these pups, showing nothing but love and dedication. I take all safety precautions to ensure gates are closed when necessary, human food is placed far out of reach, and all doors are shut that lead to tempting, tasty objects such as shoes and remotes. My experience with a variety of breeds and sizes makes me stand out, as well as my ability to handle high energy dogs who may appear confrontational at first. If you choose me to watch your fur babies, there is no doubt that they will be in good hands with someone who is dedicated to ensuring they are comfortable, happy and well taken care off.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
