Pet care experience

Safe and reliable care for your dog

I grew up with dogs my entire life and I adore loving and caring for all animals. My family currently owns a lab/retriever mix named Remi. She is a senior dog, but is still very active, so I spend time walking her on trails or at the beach, throwing her ball in the yard, and playing with toys inside. I also owned a bunny names Radish who unfortunately passed away in January. I adored her and she lived a long life. I have gained valuable experience during my time on Rover getting to know each dog I care for, catering to their energy levels, and learning about their personality.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to cater to each individual dog and their personality, so learning about each dog is my first priority. I love animals of all kinds and it's important that I make a true connection with your dog so they feel safe and so that you can trust me. Each dog parent is also different, so I make sure that I cater to their needs as well. At the end of every overnight stay, I also like to make sure the house is clean before my clients come home.

Nicole was great with my dog and my house! She communicated daily with photos and updates and my house was spotless when I returned, linens in the dryer and everything in it's place.

House Sitting • Mar 07, 2026

Nicole was a wonderful house-sitter for our two dogs! She provided updates in the first few days while they were adjusting, and the house was sparkling clean when we returned home. The best part was that the dogs were completely relaxed when we got home, which is the main goal of hiring a petsitter vs. boarding them in a kennel. We'd love to book Nicole to watch our dogs again!

Nicole is the best dog sitter I’ve had in several years. She’s an excellent communicator, attention to detail is on point, and very kind/caring for the dogs. Oh and she left the house looking like she found it. I couldn’t be happier with the experience, she’s a pro!

Schedule

I graduated from Maine Maritime Academy in 2025 and I recently accepted a fellowship offer in Midcoast Maine! I currently reside in Lamoine, ME. For the next few weeks, I will be doing Rover full-time until I start my fellowship. Once I start, I will only be available on evenings and weekends to care for your dog. During my free time, I enjoy taking walks, exploring new trails, and going to the beach, so it would be fun to have a companion by my side!

Please let me know if: - your dog needs special care, can be reactive, etc. I've sat reactive dogs before and I am confident that I have the experience to be a great sitter for a dog that needs attentive care - your dog has anxiety or depression. I have experience with giving dogs oral medication and comforting them in times of distress. - your dog is high energy or low energy. - you prefer your dog be leashed at all times outside. - your dog loves swimming, hiking, or anything specific. - your dog likes/dislikes people and/or other dogs. - your dog has any personality traits I specifically should know about. *I require a meet and greet prior to booking a walk/stay*
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.
