Safety, trust & environment

When boarding and/doing day care I like to stick to the animal's usual schedule as closely as possible. I enjoy taking dogs to the nearby dog park and walking on the trails around there as well as the quiet roads in my neighborhood. I do live with my sister and she is in the home and happy to take care of the animals on overnights I am at my other job. At your house, I will follow the rules of the house and, again, keep the animal's routine as close to usual as possible.

Information Nicole W. would like to know about your pet

I am willing to watch, walk, hang out with any dog or cat, including special needs animals. Just let me know the animals' usually schedule, what they eat, their preferences, games they enjoy, whatever you think I need to know.

A typical day

I live near a dog park as well as trails we could explore. The neighborhood is low traffic and woodsy, good for walking! I enjoy bringing well trained dogs to dog parks and fields to be able to frolick in/play fetch in. In your home I would walk them on known trails/ paths around your home. I enjoy getting on the dogs level and interacting with them if they are comfortable with that.

Animals ARE my passion!

Pet care experience

I have never lived in a house without a dog or cat. I lost my Riley last year and have found that caring for others' four legged loved ones really fills my heart more than I imagined. I have the most experience with small-medium sized dogs and cats but I love big dogs as well and am strong enough to keep control of them when needed. I am not certified as an animal trainer, though through my life, I have gained practical experience and knowledge of teaching basic commands and tricks for younger or older dogs. I frequently helped care for my mom's dog who was blind and had mobility issues. I have also cared for numerous older dogs and dogs with special needs through Rover.

Thank you, Nicole - Lexie had a great time during the visit and it helps knowing she's in good hands. Loved the pictures and the nearby puppy park. Super easy drop off & pick up - highly recommended!

Banjo loves going to Nicole's! He marches right in the door when we get there and it's like his summer camp! Lots of adventures with lots of picture updates! Banjo loves Nicole and we feel great sending him!

I would definitely book with Nicole again! This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little nervous at first. Okay, maybe a lot nervous, haha. Drop off and pick up were a breeze. My dog got to meet some new friends and go to the dog park. Nicole was very responsive and sent great updates and pics! It was such a relief knowing he was happy and safe. He even got to sleep on the bed.
