I have a large house in an extremely friendly, dog-loving neighborhood. Depending on your preference, I can keep your furry friend in his/her own area, or they are free to roam the downstairs. We have plenty of toys, and a fenced in backyard great for roaming/sniffing/playing/listening to the birds😊 (Bringing your own cage is a plus, we do not have those).

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should account for - I would like to provide the best experience possible!

A typical day

We will go for walks a couple of times a day, play fetch in the backyard, chew yummy bones while laying in the sunlight, and give lots of hugs and cuddles! (This can all be adjusted to your preferences and dog’s personality)

Pet care experience

I've taken care of pets since I was a child (had pets as we were raised), in addition to sitting for neighbors, family and friends. We currently have one very gentle & friendly pup Marshall (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) who would love a friend!

Nicole is the best! I will use her services every time! She’s an excellent communicator, providing daily updates and photos. I also love that Frank had Nicole’s dog, Marshall to show him the ropes and keep him company 🥰 Look no further! Definitely book with Nicole!

Nicole did a great job! She is very attentive and frequently updated us on our dog's behavior, which gave us peace of mind regarding the care provided. We will certainly use Nicole's services again.

Nicole was absolutely AMAZING! Sam loved his stay and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such a safe, loving and welcoming environment. While searching through Rover, something kept drawing me back to Nicole’s profile and I’m so glad I trusted that feeling. She kept me updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which made my first experience using Rover such a positive one. After this experience, I honestly don’t see myself ever boarding Sam at VCA again. Nicole will definitely be my go-to from now on. I’ve already referred my best friend and her dog Luna because that’s how wonderful this experience was. Nicole, thank you so much for opening your beautiful home to Sam and caring for him like your own. I truly appreciate you and am so grateful we found you.

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.
