Pet care experience

WFH Yogi Sits All Day + Overnight

Your home is my base. Professional housesitter, LGBT+ND Friendly. My homebody routine (WFH yogi) mean 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 also enjoy 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 mins to an hour, or multiple hours. I usually send 2ish updates with photos per day, but if you'd like more or less, let me know. 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. I WFH a few hours a week as a property manager, so I'm very available for pets who need more attention. Feel free to send a request even if Rover suggests I may be booked, because sometimes it's just for a doggie walk. Note: All of December will be at Rover Holiday rates. After our initial meet and greet, 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 20 minutes, there is an additional charge of $30 each, not included in your estimate. You are very welcome to book additional drop ins or walks before your sit so we can all get to know each other!

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.

Nicole did such a great job with boy Angus. I received lots of updates with pictures and what they were up to. I would not hesitate to use Nicole again to house sit with Angus.

Nicole was amazing! She was very professional, communicative before the visit and with updates, and my pup loved her. I will definitely be asking her to house sit again and would highly recommend!

Happy to discuss any anxiety or reactivity, also let me know about chewing items or escape artists! Start time before 8am, end time after 8pm, drives over 20 minutes, or if you need me to arrive before you leave or stay in person for your return: each of these is +$30. Does anyone smoke or vape (I have allergies)? Will your home be clean when I arrive? Any reason I wouldn't be able to sleep through the night? Is your pet often unable to make it outside to potty (mobility, anxiety)? Please notify me of all indoor/outdoor cameras ahead. I have encountered unexpected cameras in bedroom or bathroom, 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. Please be sure to read Rover's cancelation policy before you book.
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.
