Safety, trust & environment

My home is equipped with a doggy door that provides 24/7 outdoor access to a secure yard enclosed by a 7-foot fence. This yard is separate from the pool area, ensuring the safety of your pet. The yard is monitored by a camera that alerts me and records when pups go outside, so I can keep an eye on them at all times. Dog walks are conducted safely, and pets are only allowed near the pool when I am present to supervise. I am always mindful of doors to ensure they do not escape. Our neighborhood is peaceful, so you can feel confident that your pet will stay relaxed and stress-free. My dog, Scroopy, is a gentle, friendly boy with no possessive or aggressive traits, and he loves having playdates! If you're looking for a house sitter to stay with your pet, we can discuss that as well. I take pride in meeting each animal's specific needs, knowing that every pet is unique. And if you're traveling, you'll receive daily photos and updates to stay connected with your furry friend!

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

Please don't hesitate to tell me anything about your pet, even if you think it's too over the top or too specific. I truly want to know all the little details that make your pet unique so I can provide the best possible care. Whether they have special routines, quirks, or extra needs, I’m here to meet them and ensure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable.

A typical day

A typical day dog-sitting starts with morning walks and feeding, giving the pups time to stretch their legs and enjoy the fresh air. After breakfast, there’s plenty of playtime, either outside in the yard or with toys inside the house. If your dog loves socializing, playdates with my dog, Scroopy, are always a hit! Midday brings a bit of rest, with a cozy space for naps or quiet time. I always keep an eye on them, whether through the yard camera or checking in to ensure they’re comfortable. In the afternoon, we enjoy another round of outdoor fun, followed by their second walk and dinner. The evening is perfect for winding down with some cuddles or calm indoor play.

Pet care experience

***attention! *** I'll be away visiting family for a large part of July and will have limited availability, so responses may be delayed. Thanks so much for your patience—I look forward to connecting with you when I can! I will be in Colorado July 2nd-14th and on another short trip from July 17th-24th Where Your Pets Feel at Home, and You Feel at Ease* Hi!

Nicole was so good with my pup! River was happy as could be when I picked her up from Nicole’s home. I got text updates and photos and it was truly an excellent experience! I got to relax on a short vacation because I was able to trust my pup was in good hands 💛 would 100% book again!

I'm so grateful for Nichole and her family taking care of my baby and accepting him on a short notice. He felt right at home. This is the first time I used Rover, and I couldn't have felt more comfortable leaving him with her. The messages of updates and photos or videos were also a wonderful touch, knowing he was well taken care of.

Nicole did an outstanding job with our dogs. We have a senior dog that is epileptic and had a seizure during his stay. She handled it swiftly and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. Highly recommend Nicole!

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.
