Treating Your Dog Like Family!
As a dedicated dog parent to two wonderful pups: Athena (8), a sweet brindle pit mix I’ve loved since 2019, and Maverick (4), an energetic Australian Shepherd/Cattle Dog mix with striking Rottweiler markings who joined our family in 2023 from a foster fail, I know firsthand that raising dogs comes with its own unique rewards and challenges. Every moment with them is completely worth it, and they've taught me so much about patience, routine, and individual care. Having used Rover as a client, I know how disappointing it feels when a sitter treats your pets as just a job rather than true family members. That experience inspired me to step up and become the kind of sitter every owner hopes to find. My promise to you is simple: I treat every pup with the exact same unconditional love, attentive care, and playful affection I give Athena and Maverick. When your furry best friend is with me, they aren't just being looked after—they're right at home.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m staying at your place or taking your dog out for an adventure, I treat your home and your pets with the exact same respect, care, and attention I give my own. In Your Home: When house sitting or dropping in, I strictly follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, and house rules to keep their environment familiar and stress-free. You can count on your home being kept clean, secure, and well-cared for while you’re away. Socialization & Play: Since my own pets can sometimes get a bit protective at home, I prefer to keep my residence separate and meet up for fun, controlled socialization in neutral public spaces like local parks. Tailored Care: Every dog is unique. I take the time to learn your pup's personal quirks, favorite games, and daily habits so they receive personalized, VIP treatment every step of the way!
Ratings and reviews
Nicole and her husband Eric have 2 dogs of their own that my dog Junie loves and has play dates with often. They have also watched Junie on several occasions and they treat her like one of their own. She absolutely loves going over to their house to play and I’ve seen first hand how well her and Eric care for their dogs. Taking them to daycare often, training classes and providing them a safe and loving household. We’ve created a community with our dogs and I know Nicole will be a fantastic pet caregiver.
Nicole is an upstanding and loving pet caregiver. I’ve witnessed it first-hand on the love she gives to her two dogs and truly goes above and beyond for them. I’ve also witnessed the care she gives to my dog and treats him like his own. Nicole is very responsible as she’s constantly checking on her dogs needs and giving them a loving home. I’d recommend Nicole to be your next rover sitter!
Nicole has always taken amazing care of our dogs Pepper and Juniper. They excitedly great her at the door anytime she comes over. She has the biggest heart for every dog she meets.

- To ensure every stay is safe, smooth, and fun, I love knowing the little details that make your pup who they are! Having full visibility ahead of time allows me to mirror their usual routine and handle any situation with confidence. Here are a few helpful things to share before our visit: Quirks & Behaviors: Do they have specific triggers (like bikes, squirrels, or loud noises), leash reactivity, or separation anxiety? Do they have quirky habits, like protecting their toys or burying treats? Medical Needs & Mobility: Any history of past injuries, joint issues (like TPLO/ACL recovery), allergies, or strict medication schedules? Daily Routines & Preferences: What are their favorite games, preferred walking style, feeding habits, or favorite resting spots? House Rules & Commands: What specific voice cues, hand signals, or house boundaries (like staying off furniture or waiting at open doors) do you enforce at home?
