A Cat Lady Who Loves Dogs

*Note*: I work full time and I will have to factor that in when considering whether I can take a job. Thanks for your understanding! I'm a cat mom and dog lover who grew up with some very excitable standard poodles, so I'm used to big, energetic dogs! I grew up feeding, playing with, and walking them; I'm also a *very* tall girl and have the upper body strength for it! I've watched older dogs and have no trouble with remembering medications and dealing with subcutaneous injections, if needed. In addition, I am more than happy to take care of fish, reptiles, or other pets and to look after plants. And of course, I love kitties and am always happy to watch your cats as well! I have two of my own, Maki and Sakaki. Because I need to prioritize them, I generally only do overnight visits if I can take them with me (they get along with dogs and with other cats!), and I may sometimes need to decline bookings so that I don't lose too much time with them.

Safety, trust & environment

I unfortunately cannot board animals in my own apartment. I am very conscious and observant when it comes to safety practices (i.e. keeping doors and windows locked), and I am usually up for a meet-and-greet so that I can get familiar with the animals and the place, and they can get familiar with me! If I am house-sitting, I consider myself to be a very clean and tidy person and do my best to leave the house in as good as possible shape when I depart.

Nicoletta is so swift & prompt! She even cleaned up dog poo on the lawn. I'm totally going to use her services again!

Having Nicoletta care for my cats when I’m away gives me peace of mind that everything will be well taken care of. She is responsible, dependable and she truly loves animals.

Nicoletta is so good with my two cats, even my shy baby comes out for her. She’s great about sending photos and videos and communicating about everything that’s going on.

Schedule

I work full-time, and I will have to factor that in while considering sitting requests. Thanks for understanding! I presently have a full-time job with the National Park Service; I live in Vallejo and commute to my office near Sausalito. I can check on animals or give walks before or after work, And I do have some flexibility with when I get into the office, but once I'm in Marin I cannot come back until work is finished. Currently I work on a 2-week schedule where I work Sunday through Friday the first week and then Monday through Thursday the second week.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Nicoletta can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would want to know allergies and how the dog interacts with other people and dogs (i.e. does your dog bark at other dogs etc). I am comfortable with all breeds, and I am not allergic to animals.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
