Inside, my home is cozy, clean and calm - a great space for dogs to relax and feel at ease.

Information Nicole P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I have experience with most breeds and all ages. I can administer medication as needed.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. We will play games and fetch in the convenience and safety of my 2/3 acre fenced backyard, check out all the new smells in the neighborhood on short and long walks throughout the day, and lounge on the couch with lots of snuggles and belly rubs at the end of the night.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Nicole and I am a communications professional who loves animals! I have 10+ years dog and cat sitting experience, and grew up taking care of family pets my entire life. I have a friendly, trained and playful dog of my own who is great with others. I treat every animal like they are my own and tailor care to fit their personality - whether that is playtime, long walks or just cuddles. I am reliable, responsive and here to give you peace of mind while you are away.

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.
