Pet care experience
Pet sitting on Rover has been amazing! I’ve had 3 cats and 1 dog of my own, & I’ve pet-sat since I was ~14 years old — everything from a huge sweet Bernese Mountain Dog, to a tiny senior dog who needed slow walks. I’ve owned 2 majorly cuddly cats, and my current cat is more shy, but loving. I'm happy to be flexible to whatever is best for your pet, and your home. I'm a pretty clean person and I understand how important it is that I am safe and trustworthy to pet-parents, to give you the best sense of security!
Reviews
Nicole always does a great job watching my two senior dogs while I’m away and takes good care of the house! I always feel confident leaving them with her!
Nicole was an excellent sitter for my two small dogs. One of my dogs is elderly, cranky, and medically complex. I was so relieved that Nicole took all that in stride while I was away for a quick trip. She was on top of my dog’s pill schedule and was communicative with any concerns or questions. I highly recommend her services as a house and dog sitter. Thank you, Nicole!
Came home to a very happy kittybitty, again! Will happily book with Nicole again when we travel.
Nicole was absolutely fantastic to work with! We have a dog and two cats, and she stayed and house sat and took care of the gang. I received regular photos of all the animals, and it seemed like she fit in perfectly with them. She also took incredibly good care of our home, going above and beyond to wash the bed sheets, towels, dishes and even take out the trash. She left our place spotless and our animals loved. We would love to have Nicole come stay again. Thank you for everything!❤️

A typical day
I love being outside. In my own time I love walks and runs, so I'm happy to give dogs exercise. I love cuddle time and being with a pet on the couch, just being a reassuring presence. I also enjoy bringing reading and writing that I have to do so I can provide extra time giving pets some general company.

Availability
I’m generally flexible most days with my student schedule, & flexible with my work location, especially over the summer — I’m a morning person & I enjoy pets as a workday break.
