Pet care experience

Although I’m new to Rover, I bring several years of pet care experience for friends and family, both in-home and in my own. Since I don’t currently have a pet, I look forward to giving yours my full attention and care. I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats of all sizes and love giving them plenty of walks, playtime, and snuggles.

Nicole did an amazing job staying with our 2 dogs in our home while we were away on vacation! Her flexibility and reliability on the days we requested was wonderful, as well as her professionalism from the get go. One of our dogs can be hesitant with strangers, but Nicole’s calming presence helped her to warm up to her right away, which was so reassuring to see. Her daily photos and videos made us feel extra comfortable! We came home to 2 very happy girls and would highly recommend Nicole to anyone!

Nicole stayed at my house with my black lab, Sam, for several days over Thanksgiving. From the first communication to the end of the stay, Nicole was everything I am looking for in a pet sitter. Responds quickly. Willing to spend the time necessary to become acquainted with your dog and your house before the event. So good with Sam who can be a handful. Kept me up to date everyday with photos and texts. Was very understanding when our plans had to change due to weather. Left the house clean and went the extra mile of laundering and changing the guest linens so that my sister-in-law would have a bed ready when we returned home. She is thoughtful, kind, responsible, dependable - just the best! You'll be lucky if Nicole becomes your next pet sitter.
