Pet care experience

Dogs are my diamonds!

I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 years old. I’ve volunteered at puppy stores, shelters, and horse farms. Growing up, my house was the house that everyone brought stray animals to for shelter and salvation. We started naming our animals after the people that brought them to us or the places we found them because it was a part of their story. I’ve had and taken care of senior dogs, as well as sick/ recovering dogs. I have dealt with submissive and aggressive dogs. I’ve fostered many dogs to give them a break from the shelter or recover after surgery. I will accommodate most needs that are within my control and resources. Additional fees may apply, but will be discussed first.

Nicole was awesome as always. Lainey was super excited to see her again as it had been a while. She always has so much fun hanging with Nicole’s family and dogs!

Nicole took fantastic care of my cat Mia while I was away. Mia can be a bit shy and selective, but she clearly felt safe and comfortable around Nicole — which says a lot! I came home to a happy, relaxed cat and could tell she’d been in good hands. Nicole was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.

Laney had so much fun as usual! It’s very nice knowing she will enjoy herself while we are out of town. She loves seeing all of her friends at Nicole’s and we love knowing Laney is having a good vacation too!

Word can not express how grateful I am to have found Nicole! Our family has struggled finding a place we are comfortable sending our labradoodle. In the past we have boarded him at a kennel and when we pick him up he was visibly stressed. I shared my concerns and worries with Nicole and she was so comforting. She sent photos and videos of our boy while we were away. He was clearly enjoying his vacation while we were on vacation too. My heart is so full. Thank you so much Nicole!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 6ft fenced yard, with a small dog run, in a small gated community. I’m in a two story house with a dog room downstairs where my dogs are currently crated with occasional “sleepovers” upstairs with us. My pups are fed in their crates twice a day. They mostly stay out of their crates, but doors are left open because that is “their space” to go to if needed. They get walked regularly and let outside for play time when the weather is right.

Pets

Special needs Any Reactivity history Feed schedule and type (if your pet grazes or gobbles it up!) (if no food is provided- fees may incur. I have the understanding that food will be provided by owner at time of service start. **If in the event, food is not provided with pet at the time of any feeding service rendered, owner will incur an additional charge on the first day’s fee. The fee will be determined by the current cost of the type of food your pet(s) need(s) (by the packaging of the food ie size of needed brand, bag, can, container, etc.) and how much is to be given daily. (I will search for the lowest priced item in my area for particular brand.) This fee will also include a flat rate of $5 if I have to go purchase it myself (if I don’t already have what your pet eats.) Any food that I purchased for service and is left over from stay, will be given to owner upon the final service end. Any food, I currently have prior to service will stay with me. (Can provide photos/ video if needed.) If your pet has a specific schedule of activities/care. If you crate your pet daily, occasionally, or never.
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.
