Farm girl who loves all animals
Pet care experience
I've been caring for pets of all shapes and sizes for the past 18+ years. I grew up on a farm that was more like a petting zoo so I have a lot of experience with dogs, cats, horses, chickens, reptiles, and other farm animals. I like to keep to fur babies typical day-to-day schedule. I encourage pet parents to leave a checklist or information sheet behind so that nothing gets looked over. I'm experienced with administering medications, oral and injections, free feed, timed feed, kibble and raw diets. I promise to love your animals while your gone and make sure they have a wonderful stay-home vacation while you enjoy yours.
Reviews
Nicole was absolutely amazing with our pup! He took to her immediately and we could tell she is great with animals right away. She was super communicative and kept us updated throughout our trip. We would definitely use her services again and would recommend her to anyone!
I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with Nicole - she was very responsive, calm and had good communication throughout. I will definitely book with Nicole again!
Nicole is one of the best human beings I know. She is reliable, smart, kind, funny and loving with people and all animals, especially dogs. After knowing her for several years and hiring her to walk and care for my dogs overnight many times, I can highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog walker and dog lover.
Nicole is the most experienced and caring person I know when it comes to animals. Nicole grew up on a farm with many different types of animals and nearly 10 dogs. I've seen her pet sit before and take of her own animals. She loves them more than she does herself. Nicole has taught me how to raise a puppy and he has grown into a wonderful dog. If I was looking for a pet sitter outside of rover, I would immediately hire Nicole. Nicole will bring a lot of value to the rover company
About Nicole W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always care for the pets in your home. I find that that is the safest environment for your pets and myself. Pets seem to be happier in their home environment while their parents are away.
Information Nicole W. would like to know about your pet
I like to know any triggers your pet has prior to walks so that I can be aware and prepared. I want to know how far your pet will walk prior to leaving the house so we don't end up sitting along the sidewalk far from home. I also like to know any preferences, schedules, and favorite games/toys each fur baby has so that I can make their time away from their parents as seemless as possible.
A typical day
Depending on parents preferences, I will occasionally take pets to the dog park. I love paying fetch and tug with the fur babies if that is something they enjoy. Doing tricks for treats is also an enjoyable way to pass the time. If they like sleeping in bed at night, I fully welcome it!
