Highlights
Pet care experience
Eat. Play. Love.
Hi! I’m Nikole, and it’s truly a joy to care for pets like they’re part of my own family. I’ve been a Rover sitter since 2020, but my experience with animals goes back nearly two decades from cuddly cats to energetic pups and everything in between. What sets me apart is the premium level of care I provide. I treat every pet like a VIP giving them consistent attention, personalized routines, and genuine affection. Because I’m self-employed with a flexible schedule, I’m often able to work from home during the day, which means your pet gets plenty of company, care, and supervision not just quick check-ins. In addition to pet care, I have a background in marketing, human resources, and event production, which means I bring a high level of organization, communication, and professionalism to everything I do. You can count on clear updates, attention to detail, and a respectful presence in your home. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just making sure your pet feels calm and cared for while you’re away, I’m here to ensure they feel safe, seen, and loved. * Fully insured through Rover * Detail-oriented and respectful of your home * Excellent communicator with photo updates during each stay * Experienced with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments Let me know if your pet has any special needs or quirks. I love getting to know their unique personalities. Your furry friend’s safety and happiness are my #1 priority. Looking forward to meeting your crew!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I focus on creating a calm, consistent environment that mirrors their usual routine—because familiarity builds trust. From walk times to feeding schedules to favorite toys or nap spots, I do my best to keep things as close to “normal” as possible. Some pets love adventure, others just want to curl up and relax and I’m great at reading their vibe and adjusting accordingly. I’m also extra mindful of safety, whether that means keeping doors secured, administering meds, or following specific instructions for anxious or senior pets. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, cared for, and loved so you can feel confident and stress-free while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Great communication and help watching our fur babies! Thank you again
Great first time visit - Nikole followed all instructions and left the place super clean! Kasha was happy!
Nikole is amazing! We would use her any time, our two dogs love her
Nikole was wonderful! So good with the pets, reliable, and it was great to feel like I could relax and didn’t need to stress about them while on vacation. Highly recommend!!
Nikole was excellent. She provided great pictures and communication. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my pup and staying in my home. Will have her back for sure!
Nikole stayed with our three pups while we were gone on vacation. She made a point to send updates 1-2x each day, which went a long way in giving us peace of mind. Not only did we feel confident that our pups were being loved on and cared for thoroughly, she also went above and beyond in cleaning up and washing towels/sheets. We’d just love to work with her again in the future and can’t recommend her enough.

Schedule
As an entrepreneur with a flexible schedule, I’m able to tailor my days around each pet’s needs—whether that’s sticking to their regular feeding times, walking routines, or cuddle rituals. I also work as a performer and DJ, which means I occasionally have evening gigs that last a few hours, but I always make sure those commitments don’t interfere with the quality of care I provide. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I plan ahead to ensure they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency throughout our time together.

- Every pet is unique, and I want to make sure I meet their needs exactly as you would. Let me know about any special routines, health needs, personality quirks, or house rules. I’m happy to adapt! My goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away, so the more I know upfront, the better care I can provide.
