Pet care experience

It was me. I let the dogs out.

Animals are my passion. I am a student with dreams of working with animals, big and small, for the rest of my life. I have been taking care of pets since I was 5, when my parents would walk me to the neighbors’ house to feed their cats. I was the kid that knew everyone in the neighborhood by their dog’s name (Tucker's mom, Daisy's dad). I have owned all kinds of animals from cats and dogs to reptiles to rodents and even sugar gliders! I have worked/ volunteered at a veterinary clinic, a kennel, a wildlife hospital, and a zoo, so I have experience with animals of every background. I currently have a 6-year-old rescue boy named Dakota, a sweet golden retriever puppy named Taliyah, and a very wild cat named Jak. I work with pets of every breed and size. I love them all from affectionate tea-cup poodles to giant fluffy shepherds, and I am very comfortable giving medications and insulin. I need a minimum 2-hour window for visits, but if you need anything else while I'm dropping in, feel free to let me know. I'm up for feeding cats and caged animals, watering plants, bringing in the mail, or giving your dog a bath.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my care get food, walks, play, pets, and lots of love. I love to throw the ball, play a game of tug of war, or just sit on the couch and watch tv with the pups.

Nicole was awesome! She watched my cat while I was on vacation. She sent a daily picture and my cat looked so happy. I will book with her again next time I go on vacation

The best of the best! I never worry when leaving my babies with Nicole. She is very friendly and communicative. She takes excellent care of my great pyrenees and two kitties!

Schedule

Pet-sitting is all I do full-time, so I can be flexible with your pet’s visits and work out a schedule that works for you and your pets.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Nicole can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
Is your dog friendly with other canines? Am I allowed to take your pup to the dog park or the dog beach? Is your furry friend on a certain schedule? Do they need any medications? (If you give me instructions then I can do it.)
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.
