Pet care experience

Animal Lover 💛 🐶 🐱

I am an animal lover who has rescued shihtzus, pit bulls, Great Danes, rotties, chihuahuas, and now a Beagle mix puppy (not all at once 😁) I work random days and hours that are typically not every sitters availability, and would love another pup around to keep me and little Judge company! I am currently in an apartment, but am steps to fairmount park and have a doggy potty and play area on the roof! Your loved pet will always be watched and be in great hands! Looking forward to (hopefully) meeting you and your furry friend.

Came home to 3 happy fur babies and a clean house. Nicole sent me pics along the way. Couldn’t ask for better care!

Nicole took great care of Simba! She checked in regularly, sent photos, was super responsive, and followed all instructions about his medications. I could tell he was in good hands and having a great time with her!

Nicole was great with our pitbull Beverly. She communicated clearly in advance and while caring for our dog. She took the time to listen and learn all about Beverly and her quirks including separation anxiety and barking/lunging at squirrels and cats. She was kind, confident and caring!

Nicole is phenomenal! Both, with a bubbly personality and strict professionalism for my buddy’s well being. Duke can be hit or miss when he’s around other dogs, but every time he’s stayed with Nicole he’s been so well behaved and loving life with his new furry roommates. Like Duke, Rover sitters can be hit or miss . . . Nicole is a hit. Would recommend her services to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment has two small dogs at the moment (a frenchie and a beagle mix), so a dog that loves playing and doesn’t mind a pinch of Doggo clutter is ideal for boarding :) I am very involved with watching/playing/whatever their needs and requirements may be. Treats, toys, wee pads, kennels, and a play pen are always available. If am entering a clients home, I will always follow all rules to a T, I will be neat, thorough with the pets needs, and leave the place cleaner than when I walked in ☺️ house sitting is my preferred method, if the homeowner is comfortable. A pet always feels more comfortable in their own space, and also their routine doesn’t need to change! Always more than happy to do pre-meets in whatever space is comfortable for the pet parent.

Pets

A typical day

I’ll cater to your pets’ needs! We can frequent dog parks, play in the home, or take long walks. I can be as active (or non-active) as your pet prefers me to be! Plus my current building has a little doggy area on the roof so there’s always a safe place to run around. I’m steps from fairmount park so if your pet loves long walks, I’ve got it covered!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs/ medication schedules. I have experience administering oral medication, caring for dogs with anxiety, senior dogs, and staying on top of any specific requests. I will not hesitate to act if (god forbid) an emergency arises.
