Vet tech for grooming & sitting
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is NÃk (some older reviews call me Charley) and I've worked in pet care for six years and as a veterinary technician for two. As a pet owner myself, I know how difficult it can be trusting the life of your animal to another, which is why I promise to treat your pet as though they were my own, and send you updates so that you never have to wonder or worry what they're up to. I offer in-home visits for special needs dogs, cats, and most small animals. I can provide oral medications and subcutaneous fluids, and am trained in dog and cat first aid and CPR. I also offer add-on grooming services (nail trims $10, other prices based on assessment). I have both the expertise and passion to make sure that your pet will be as happy, healthy, and safe as possible as long as they are in my care! Also, I am fully vaccinated and happy to make accommodations as requested.
Reviews
Nik is such a great pet sitter! They’re super thorough with updates and photos which we loved!! It gave us such piece of mind while we were away, receiving such great and detailed updates and knowing our cat was with someone with so much experience and love for animals!! Thank you!!!
Nik gave excellent care and attention to Coconut while I was away. Her daily updates and pictures helped me relax knowing that all was well. I will definitely book Nik again! She is great.
Nik was such an incredible pet sitter! She sent so many pictures and her written updates were not only detailed but comical. They have a great way of capturing the personalities of my kitties. I'd highly recommend them!
Nik took great care of my cat while I was away! She was super friendly with communication and flexible with my plans. She sent descriptive rover cards and lots of pictures. She goes above and beyond for multi-day care, making sure that the apartment is in good shape too. She will be my go-to for all future bookings. Thanks Nik!

Safety, trust & environment
I ensure that pets are monitored and safely handled at all times during the stay. I can perform first aid on dogs and cats, and am aware of breed-specific risks for cats and dogs. I prefer one hour blocks for multi-day visits (such as when a pet owner is out of town overnight) in order to provide pets with adequate attention and care. However, changes can be made depending on the situation
Information Nik A. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences or restrictions for per sittings (read: pitbulls, German shepherds, etc. welcome!) However, I do have limits on walks with very strong, active dogs.
A typical day
Whether it's a fun filled day at the park or a quiet night in, I make sure that all stays are filled with play and enrichment for your pet's wellbeing.

Availability
I am free mostly in the afternoon and evening; message me to discuss what schedule works best. I like to meet up prior to repeat visits to discuss care instructions, and for that I simply ask for $10-15 depending on distance to cover the cost of travel and a brief visit.
