Pet care experience

I’ll treat your dog as my own

I have had many different types of dogs in my life, such as a Pomeranian and a golden retriever. I also used to have an olde English bulldog. Our last dog was a Bassett hound/boxer mix. He crossed the rainbow bridge in November 2025. I love taking dogs for long walks in the neighborhood or around different trails. I think it’s important for dogs to get as much exercise as possible. I also would love to throw a ball or lay around and cuddle with your dog. We also have a fenced in backyard for dogs to run and get plenty of exercise. Your dog will be a part of our family when they stay with us. I am available most afternoons. I am also available Friday afternoon through Sunday. I would love to help take care of your dog while you can’t be there. Please just let me know what you and your dog’s needs are and I will help as much as you want.

Nicole and her family were exactly what we needed. Communication and photos were plentiful and the love I could see that was given made me not have to worry about our dog while we were away. We will absolutely use their services again!

Dog Walking • Jan 16, 2018

Nicole was awesome with Gus. She helped out on short notice and was able to spend a little extra time with him to see if he would eventually go potty! I plan on using Nicole again in the future as I need a dog walker!!

Nicole is a responsible person who has had a dog her whole life. She grew up in a household that had an Irish Setter, then a Golden Retriever and finally a Pomeranian. Currently, Nicole has a mixed breed hound. Nicole is excellent with dogs and dogs respect her. She has worked with a professional trainer to ensure her current dog developed good habits. Nicole is a respected school teacher and works equally well with students.

I work full time out of the house, but am gone for no more than 8 hours. Your dog can be let out right before I leave and as soon as I get home. Once I get home I can play and love on your pet.

If your dog is not neutered, please let us know. Since we watch other dogs, we see lots of marking behaviors from dogs if they have not been fixed in the house. We are continuously cleaning in the house to erase the “odor” of other dogs. Please let me know if you dog has any special needs or can’t be around other dogs. If they have any dietary needs, please make sure to provide all necessary food and medications.
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.
