Pet care experience

WFH Yogi Sits All Day + Overnight

Professional housesitter, LGBT+ND Friendly. My homebody routine means tons of time with your pet. I'm very tidy, and a good fit for clean nonsmoking homes. Over 200+ nights per year petsitting! Your place is my home, not just short visits. I love multiple pet households of 2, 3, 4 or more! I am patient with anxiety, special needs, medication, and puppies. I love written instructions, and take medication seriously. My day is typically yoga, meditation, movie nights with your pets, two hours WFH, and walks or yard time. I also offer daytime care in your home via the Housesitting tab (3 hours to 10 hours+) even if you don't need overnight. You can also book Drop Ins of 30 or 60 mins, or multiple hours. Pets that I know already can sometimes book care in my home. I only take one pet family at a time for my home daycare, quality care over quantity. I usually send you 2ish updates with photos per day. I'm mature, sober, nonsmoking; I don't vape or use drugs, not even caffeine. I have decades of experience caring for houses and pets. Note: All of December will be at Rover Holiday rates. After our initial visit, it is standard to do cold swaps vs hot swaps, for your out of town trip. I arrive after you leave, and depart before you return. This usually means smoother transitions for pets and humans. If you need a sit start time before 8am, or end time after 8pm, or drives over 15 minutes, there is an additional charge of $30 each, not included in your Rover estimate. You are very welcome to book drop ins or walks before your sit so we can all get to know each other! Just click Drop In on my profile and select your preferred time and day, and I'll message back same day.

Nicole came over to meet my dog ahead of a long weekend stay at my house. Dipper settled down pretty fast (it usually takes him a while) and I feel confident that Nicole will be a great fit for him.

Nicole is an incredible dog sitter and took excellent care of our 2 dogs and our home while we were away. She gave us such peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands, and she left the house in perfect condition when she left. Our dogs were so happy and well cared for in her hands! Thank you so much Nicole!! You are the best!

Nicole did a great job with our two pitties, Kasia (11) and Miko (7). Our dogs were well cared for and we received updates throughout her time with them. She is a great communicator and she also made sure our house was left tidy. We would definitely like to have Nicole back again!

Nicole is the best! She stayed with Louis for a week while I was out of town. He found some chocolate on a walk outside and she handled the situation perfectly, taking him to the vet and reaching out to my emergency contact because I was unavailable. I always trust her to take great care of my pup!

Nicole did an amazing job with my senior dog! I don’t often leave him with people other than close family, but Nicole made me feel so comfortable the whole time. She has great communication, clearly cares so much, and is such a kind, genuine person.

Let me know about anxiety, reactivity, chewing items, escape artists, or special needs! Does anyone smoke or vape (I have allergies)? If you are willing to put away air fresheners and scented candles beforehand, I really appreciate it. Will your home be clean when I arrive (bath, kitchen, bedroom, fridge)? Is there a comfortable bed with clean sheets and pillow cases (please no couch or temporary beds, back issues)? Any reason I wouldn't be able to sleep through the night? Please notify me of all indoor and outdoor cameras when you first contact me. I have encountered unexpected cameras, and just want to make sure it's a good fit. Let me know anything to use/not use, especially in the kitchen. Let me know where I should park, or if paid parking is needed.
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.
