Trusted and caring pet sitter

Pet care experience

Lake Merritt area - We LOVE dogs in our family and can't believe there is an app that allows us to do what we love - spend time with animals. My best friend when I was a child was my golden retriever and as long as I can remember we have always had dogs included in our lives. I personally can not take on the responsibility of having a dog full time, but it would give me lots of joy to be able to hang out with your dog from time to time. I work from home and would love for your dog to join me - nice long walks are good for the both of us. I also have a 15 year old daughter who I call the dog whisperer. We both are looking forward to being of service on Rover.

Mika had a wonderful time with Nicole. It's great to have a trusted dog sitter to add some excitement to Mika's day. We are both looking forward to booking future sitter dates with Nicole.

I was a little apprehensive leaving my English bulldog with someone neither of us knew. My brother usually watches my pooch when I go out of town but he took his family on a vacation....so I took to the Internet and found Rover. It was an easy platform to navigate and decided on Nicole. She was great with my dog and made the whole process super low-stress. Nicole communicated well and was observant about his behaviors while under her care. I would definitely use Nicole again.

Nicole is one of those incredibly caring, thoughtful people that anyone would be lucky to have take care of their pet. She is responsible, good-natured, and has a way with animals. I highly recommend her!
