Pet care experience

Pics so good you could frame them!

I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. With a degree in Veterinary Science and years of hands on experience, caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life. Over the years, I’ve shared my home with rabbits, chinchillas, dogs, cats, and many more, each one teaching me something new about compassion and care. I have a special love for exotic animals and giant dog breeds, and I’m passionate about giving every pet the attention and affection they deserve.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes, I always treat them like part of my own family. I follow each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and enrichment activities. I take time to learn each pet’s personality and comfort level to ensure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. For in home visits, I maintain a calm and respectful presence in your home, keeping everything tidy and making sure your pets receive plenty of attention and care. My goal is to provide a stress free experience for both pets and owners alike.

Nicole was wonderful! She provided updates and pictures each day all week long. When we got home both of our dogs were happy and healthy.

Nicole is a wonderful pet sitter. My cat is elderly, requires medication and space to just be an old lady. Nicole successfully cared for her while I was away. She even managed to find her way to the house during unforseen road and waterline construction that started immediately in front of my home! Nicole is personable and professional and provided great photos each day. Would absolutely book again!

First time Nicole has watched our dogs and it was great. She played with them, sent us pics and both dogs were happy!

Schedule

I’m a full-time pet sitter with a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I’m also married, so even when I’m away caring for clients’ pets, there’s always someone home to look after my own crew.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Nicole can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
Before watching a dog, it’s important for me to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medications they may need. I also like to learn about their personality, what they enjoy, what makes them nervous, and how they typically behave on walks or around other animals. Knowing their commands, any behavioral quirks, and household rules (like furniture limits or crate routines) helps me keep things consistent and comfortable for them. Emergency contact information, vet details, and any special instructions are also essential to make sure I can provide the best possible care.
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.
