Pet care experience

Upstate NY Pet Care!

Hello Pet Families! If you are in the Dutchess County (and surrounding areas) and need some help caring for your furry friend, I would be happy to help. Living in this city makes it easy to take a pup for a stroll along the water or on a trail! Whether you need me to come pick your dog up to go for a walk, are planning a trip and they can not join, or just need someone to pop in on your cats once in a while, I am happy to be of assistance. I love animals! Your dog or cat will be well cared for and kept safe under my supervision. I cant wait to meet your dog!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are very important. I like for my clients to have written details regarding their pets needs that way we are all on the same page. It is important to have a visit before agreeing to the care, so that you and myself feel the most comfortable.

We have worked with Nicole before and she continues to be amazing! Easy to communicate with, trustworthy, and our dog has a crush on her!

Nicole took amazing care of our home and our chihuahua, who takes a long time to warm up to anyone new, warmed up to her so quickly! She sent lots of updates and photos and made us feel at ease while we were traveling. A true dog whisperer!

Nicole is amazing. She was great with our “baby”, Angel & extremely accommodating. Angel isn’t yet potty or crate trained (she is 11 weeks old & still learning) & Nicole was very helpful with that. Nicole is fun & down to earth yet shows extreme responsibility in taking care of angel. She sent updates & pictures to ease our minds & answered any and all questions we had along the way. This was our first time using Rover, & we are so glad we found Nicole. We definitely recommend Nicole to fellow families looking for a sitter. We will be using Nicole again in the very near future. Not to mention... Angel loves her already!

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Nicole as a dog walker for Rover. Nicole is a friend that I have known over the last few years. She is exceptionally kind and enthusiastic towards animals. Since I met Nicole it was clear she was an animal and dog lover. In fact, Nicole volunteered to care for my two dogs while away on vacation for the week. We trusted that Nicole would take exceptional care of them. It was evident that she had an instant connection with them. She is hard working and reliable. My dogs were taken on multiple walks a day, fed on schedule, and given endless kisses! I couldn't recommend anyone better for this position. Laura S.

I currently work from home which makes it very easy to get out for walks frequently. It is also very convenient for house sitting since I would be there for your pet all day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Nicole can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know all details of your pet. Any allergies I should know about, I like to know if your pet has any triggers, things to look out for while on a walk that might set them off. I appreciate knowing if your pet is ok with other pets. Is your pet ok with going to public areas.
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.
