Your Dog’s New Best Friend! 🐾

Looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like they’re family? You’ve found the right person! I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, and dogs seem to know it. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities, including: * 🦴 Puppy potty training * 🎓 Basic obedience and fun tricks * 🐕 High-energy dogs that love to play * ❤️ Dogs with separation anxiety who need extra comfort and attention Every visit is tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a neighborhood walk, an overnight stay, or weekend care, you can count on plenty of love, exercise, playtime, belly rubs, and personalized attention. I believe communication is just as important as great pet care, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether you’re heading to work, taking a weekend getaway, or going on vacation, you can relax knowing your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend—after one visit, I just might become their favorite human! 🐶💕

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and personality to keep them comfortable and happy. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, fresh water, and individualized attention. I also respect your home, follow all care instructions carefully, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your furry family member is safe and having a great time.

House Sitting • Aug 24, 2026

It was our first time having a house sitter with our three dogs, and Barbie (Nicole) did great with the dogs - we received lots of photos with the dogs playing and cuddling - it seems like they enjoyed their staycation! We have a picky-eater, sleepy senior & I was really happy to hear Barbie payed close attention to his meal time, making sure he ate, and included him in play time because he is typically a couch potato! As for the other two, they for sure had a blast. I’m glad they had company since they have a bit of separation anxiety. One of our dogs is a medium size very strong, athletic type so we usually have to worry about her tackling people as they walk in, but it seems like Barbie had everything under control Thanks again, Barbie!

Nicole did a great job taking care of FJ and understanding of his puppy nature. She left the house cleaner then she found it. Would definitely use her again

Nicole stayed with our Great Dane for a day while we were away. Our Dane doesn't typically warm up to people fast, but snuggled up with Nicole right away. She sent me pictures throughout the day and I could tell our dog really felt comfortable with Nicole! :)

Nicole did great! She house sat for me over Christmas break, loved on my 3 babies, took care of the house, and even fed my gecko for me while I was gone! she was punctual, kind, and sent lots of pics of the babies. I would definitely recommend her.

Schedule

Hi! I’m Nicole, a dependable, compassionate animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets. I understand that your pets are family, and I treat every dog in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I work a full-time weekday job, which allows me to provide pet care during mornings, evenings, weekends, holidays, and overnight stays. My schedule gives me the flexibility to offer reliable drop-in visits, dog walks, and extended weekend care for families who need someone they can trust while they’re away. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventures or prefers quiet cuddles and companionship, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of affection, and the attention they deserve. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member and becoming someone you can count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾

Before booking, I’d like to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite activities, fears, commands they know, how they interact with people and other animals, and any special needs or behaviors. The more I know, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience for your pet. 🐾
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.
