Pet care experience

Tell your dog I said Hi!

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!

She was incredible! Our girls loved her. She sent updates with pictures regularly. We had to have her keep them an extra night due to our cancelled flights and she was so understanding and accommodating. We loved her.

Nicole was the perfect sitter for our clingy boy, Boone. I was so worried that while on vacation my dog ( who has seizures & high anxiety) would be upset & worried the entire trip. Fortunately we found Nicole on Rover & my family was able to enjoy some carefree time away exploring the Grand stand while Boone was kept safe. Nicole sent me frequent updates and assured me everyday at 10am and 10pm that Boone had taken his medication ( without being asked to) She sent numerous pictures of Boone enjoying his leisure relaxing on the couch and going for walks. He looked so at home and cozy! On a regular basis I spend every moment of the day with Boone so letting go& trusting someone was difficult but I am so glad that I did & that we chose Nicole in particular.My dog was packed up, happy, and ready to go home with all his supplies neatly stored when I arrived to get him. He smelt fresh & clean. His tail was wagging. My husband & I joked he might not even want to go home with us anymore😂 Thank you so much for excellent care & treating our pet with such compassion!

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!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not have any other pets in my home, but may have a foster dog occasionally. I have a fenced in yard for your pup to run and play. I do also have a pool if they like to swim (I will supervise dogs outside at all times for safety). For in your home care, I will be respectful of your home, property, and privacy while giving your dog whatever care they need!

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.
