Availability

I am available all day on weekends. I am off the summers and school vacation breaks. I will give your dog lots of love and attention. I am a teacher during the school year so I would leave your dog alone for about 6 1/2 hrs. If your dog is used to being home alone, he or she should be fine. I will provide a safe environment for your dog. I’m home fairly early and will be prompt for feeding times and walks.

Information Nicole R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. What are your dogs eating and bathroom habits? Is your dog crate trained? Can your dog be alone for a few hours? It is also important for me to know if your dog is neutered.

A typical day

Going on daily walks and playing out in the yard are fun activities that I will provide for your dog. Playing fetch is always fun too. We can watch TV or have resting time with soft music playing in the background.

Pet care experience

I am a pet owner myself. I have a Bichon Frise. I’ve been a dog sitter for some friends and realized how I enjoyed having dogs visiting my home. My Bichon really enjoyed playing with the dogs and having them over as well. I am reliable and would spoil any dog as if it were my own. I will put an Apple tag on your dog for extra precaution and I also have cameras in the house to watch the dogs when I am out.

We have never had a better experience boarding our dog. The family is friendly and caring. The house and spacious grounds are all clean, well-maintained, and set up to be everything that a dog would love. We highly recommend this option. 5 stars!

Nicole and her family are great! They made my pup Waffles feel like a part of their family. I’m always nervous leaving Waffles with a new sitter but Nicole made me feel comfortable and sent me updates twice a day. Waffles also loved playing with their dog Chase, they had so much fun together! I will for sure be using her again in the future!

Nicole always makes me feel comfortable and relieved as she takes care of my dog with great care. I appreciate timely updates with photos. I used her twice and will continue to do so. She lives near me, so my dog also doesn’t feel stress due to car sick.

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.
