Information Nicole V. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with reactive dogs (both people and other dog reactive), so please let me know any special instructions in advance. I'll ask about your daily routine and can keep as close to that as possible to make sure your dog feels more comfortable!

A typical day

I love going on walks when the weather is nice, but if it isn't, I have plenty of toys and puzzle games to keep your pet active! We can play fetch or with dog-safe bubbles in our fenced-in yard, and if we get tired, we can snuggle on the couch and watch a movie. I can tailor what we do to your dog's activity level.

Pet care experience

I’ve had experience caring for dogs for as long as I can remember! I always had dogs growing up and have continued to have dogs (and other pets!) throughout my adulthood. I’ve also fostered and pet sit for many friends and family members. Any size dog is just fine, I’ve had experience with dogs from 3lbs Maltese to an 85lb German Shepherd! I am familiar with administering medications and caring for senior dogs. I treat every pet as if it was my own!

We greatly appreciated the daily pictures of our two pups looking happy and relaxed. We also really appreciated flexibility when we needed to let our kids check on the pups during our week long stay in the area. Also, their location is perfect in relation to where we usually stay in the Surfside area. Thank you for taking care of our fur babies!

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.
