Nicole's Pet Sitting
Pet care experience
Hi there, thanks for taking the time to read my profile! I am new to the area and looking forward to providing care for Maine pups and their caretakers. Because I'm less familiar with the area I am open to discussing services and rates with any new inquiries. I am a dog-lover and advocate who enjoys pup-watching to keep me active. I appreciate the company of all types and sizes of dogs. My five years of caretaker experience includes three years of dog-watching for neighbors and Rover friends, and two years raising and training two large-sized pups. I may be able to accommodate requests for days marked unavailable, so please feel free to send me an inquiry if there is an unavailable date listed. The walk, bathroom break, and unsupervised time information listed is based around a typical weekend day.

Nicole is absolutely wonderful!!! She dog sat & house sat for us and took great care of Bailey & our home. Nicole stayed in touch & gave us updates & photos throughout her time with our dog. Thank you so much. We definitely will call Nicole again. Bailey will miss you until next time!!!
Nicole and her roommate were great dog moms to our furbaby, Arwen. So great that she didn’t want to come home! Nicole regularly updated us on Arwen’s elated state at her house and sent us great pictures to boot. Nicole also gave Arwen plenty of exercise, which was much appreciated. Nicole will definitely be our #1 pic for a sitter the next time we travel.
Nicole was amazing! She was everything we were hoping for in a dog sitter. We knew we didn’t want to put our 9 month old puppy in a kennel for 5 days over the Thanksgiving break, and decided to use Rover to find a sitter. We liked everyone we met, but after messaging with and meeting Nicole, we knew she would be perfect for Kirby and that she would provide him with a "home away from home”. Before we met, she asked us questions to get to know his temperament, his needs and our expectations. She was upfront about prior commitments which would take her away for a few hours one day, and discussed her concerns about leaving Kirby alone during that time in a new environment. She accommodated our travel schedule by working from home so that we could drop him off early on the day we were leaving. During his stay, she took Kirby on long walks and to the dog park, worked on some simple commands with him to reinforce the training we were doing, hung out with him and let him snuggle and sleep with her at night. She sent us daily updates with photos and promptly answered our messages. She knew how to handle him when he got a bit mouthy and jumpy on a walk and let us know about it. This showed us that she was fully engaged with him, cared about his wellbeing and that she was willing to tell us about the good times and also the challenges they had. We found this to be very reassuring. It is evident that Nicole genuinely loves dogs and is dedicated to making their stay as happy and stress-free as possible. We feel very fortunate to have found her and hope she is always available when we need someone to watch Kirby. We’re certain he would love it, too!
Lucky had a great time with Nicole. He was well loved and taken care of while I was away.
