Pet care experience

Flexible & personalized care

I started caring for pets when I was in high school over 15 years ago for friends who went out of town. I continued offering this service in college and beyond because I loved it. Most of my clients became loyal repeats. My experience and repeat clientele prove that you can trust me with your most loved friends. I will care for them as if they were my own. I strive to provide personalized care for each pet. What activities do they love? I also try to adhere to their normal routine as much as possible, and account for some snuggle time when needed. I want them to feel as safe and happy as possible in my care. Every pet I've cared for a second time was happy to see me when I came back, which is a great compliment in my mind. I work a part time flexible schedule, so have plenty of time to care for animals and can be flexible with visits and in-home care. MESSAGE ME IF YOU LIVE IN MASCOUTAH & I'll offer you a discount! If you live in Fairview or the far end of O'Fallon I may need to account for an additional fee because #gasprices. My care is personalized to each family's individual needs based on their pet(s) and environment. Let's talk about what you are looking for, odds are I've done it before.

Nicole has been great with communication and follow up. My pup really enjoyed his first walk with her and can’t wait to make it a weekly event!

Nicole does a great job with my pets. She keeps me updated on how walks and potty breaks go, and makes sure water bowls are filled. Always gives loads of love to my fur babies!

An absolute sweetheart to my 13-year old cavalier King Charles spaniel. Always on time and great photos at each visit - dog and human approved without a doubt!

House Sitting • Sep 24, 2021

Nicole and Gabriel took such good care of our dog, Sunny, while we were in the hospital giving birth to our child. We are eternally grateful to them for not having to worry about our 4-legged firstborn and for offering to dog sit on such short notice! We will not hesitate to call them again next time we need a sitter. Thank you both ~ you’re the best!

I don't have breed preferences, I love all types of animals! I have made the mistake of not asking questions like -Has this dog ever experienced being away from you for an extended period of time (separation anxiety is real and preparations should be made just in case)? Is the dog spayed or neutered? Are there any behavioral issues I should be aware of? I understand that unexpected things can happen, and I'm okay with going above and beyond to take care of issues, but the more prepared I am the better care I can provide and the happier all involved will be. Anything that may affect how much time I need to dedicate to caring for your pet and/or that may include tasks well beyond reasonable expectation would be helpful to know in advance so we can all be prepared and well taken care of.
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.
