I am currently working at an elementary school but going to school to allow me to have a work from home job. Until then I am more free in the afternoon and evening but I am able to free up some time in the morning to help out. During the summer I do summer camp, working the afternoon/evening shift; however, I am able to adjust my schedule as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard here at my house so my dogs have free range of the back yard, however when we did not have one we had them out at least every hour. Our dogs get feed twice a day, morning and night, but I can switch however to fit your pet best! During my free time my boyfriend and I like to take our dog, Rico, to go hiking and swimming. We would love to be able to bring him a friend!

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or special requirements for our time together! I am very comfortable with giving medications and handling animals that may be difficult to deal with.

A typical day

I love to stimulate physical and mental activities for your animals. I would love to take them on walks for smells, throwing a ball, practice/train pet, and give them fun enrichment toys.

Pet care experience

I've had experience taking care of dogs since I was the age of 10 years old. I have done this for family and friends for many years and even assist with grooming needs. I also have experience with giving medications to pets as I have worked as a veterinary assistant in the past.

Nicole always does a good job with our pets and home. We had to take a day trip and it was a comfort to know she was checking in on them. Highly recommend her!!

Nicole did a fantastic job with our furry animals. She was very accommodating with our schedule and kept the house the same way she found it. The pups seemed to love her company and everyone was well taken care of!

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.
