Friendly Teacher and Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I'm Nicole and I'm a teacher and dog lover! Growing up, I had a Chihuahua named Coco, who was a part of my family for 16 years. As an only child, I had a very close bond with Coco, spending lots of quality time with and caring for my furry best friend. I also have experience sitting for others' dogs in their homes for extended periods (two week long vacations) and dog walking! My husband Paul and I adopted our own pup, Lincoln, a little over a year ago. He’s a friendly and energetic guy who would love to have another friend to play with! I'm a very compassionate, nurturing, and reliable person who would be a great sitter and I want you and your pup to have a worry-free experience!

Once again, our Harley had a wonderful visit with Miss Nicole. We were in the middle of a large home move and the poor boy has been left out as we have not had a lot of play time for him. We then had an out-of-state family reunion to go to that was planned two years in advance. I felt that Harley would really benefit from the time with Nicole and Paul. I really think he did. He returned home a lot more cheerful to complete the move. Since we had no reception near the border we were unable to communicate with her but I knew he was in good hands. He needed the one on one time and attention I know she gives him and it showed. I totally trust Harley with Nicole and cannot wait until we move back to town so we can make use of her great services! It means the world to us to know how well he is cared for!

This was my first Rover experience and I could not be more pleased. I can tell that Harley thoroughly enjoyed his time with Nicole. From the moment I met her, I felt strongly that she was a kind and caring person and a good fit for our little guy. She took the time to get to know him and his needs prior to our stay and asked questions. She sent me pictures of what they were doing while we were away which truly helps ease a parents mind. She kept him active which is important for a puppy. I can tell by how he came home to us that he really did have a vacation too! I highly recommend Nicole and hope to use her much more in the future. She has a wonderfully calming yet authoritative nature which is exactly what I was looking for in a pet sitter.

Nicole is a loving, caring and compassionate dog caregiver. Nicole has taken care of my Havanese since he was a puppy. She was kind enough to help me in a crunch and cared for Buster for a week while I was away with my family. She cares for Buster as though he is her own dog and make sure he is well taken care of. Buster loves Nicole! I would highly recommend Nicole and her services.

Our yard is not fenced, but there is plenty of room to run around and play. We also have an elementary school right by our home with a nice big field to take a dog to walk/run around in. I like being active and also live within walking distance of one of the town parks. I’d love to take your pup for strolls.
