Reliable and Loving Pet Care
Pet care experience
I've had a pet of some kind for as long as I can remember. There were family cats while I was growing up, my friends' cats and dogs, my sister's dogs, my roommate's cats, and my own cat, who I had for 17 of his 18 years. He passed away last June and I miss him terribly…but I just recently adopted two new kitties and I am in love! I'm told I give the best doggie massages ever, too. My best friend's dog literally leads me to the couch whenever I visit and plops down for his special Aunt Nancy rubs. I like to meet the pets where they're at - so if your pets like to play, or if they're more of a cuddle-bug, I give them the kind of attention they need.

Reviews
Thank you for taking such good care of Andy while we were away.
Nancy always takes great care of my cat! I like that she always makes sure my cat gets to have some kind of enrichment when she visits.
Nancy always takes great care of my cat. My cat can be shy with new people and I love that Nancy respects her boundaries and doesn’t push her. I can go out of town knowing she is in good hands.
Nancy took great care of my cat! She checked in on her each day I was gone on a trip and sent me an update and photos from each check in. I felt relieved knowing my cat was in good hands. Will book again!
About Nancy K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their instructions for routine, feeding, walks, etc. I understand that every pet is different and will always treat each one as an individual, never as "just another client". In my home, I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding and walks, and we’ll play and do whatever the pet is comfortable with. Sometimes they’re skittish in a new environment and won’t do their normal things — and that’s totally okay!
Information Nancy K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs your pet has, or any behaviors that need special attention. With instruction, I am happy to administer medications as needed.
A typical day
I try to stimulate dogs both physically and mentally. We’ll play games, check out all the fun smells on our walk, explore parks, and watch the squirrels! Cats are different, of course, and I always modify my interactions with them based on their personalities and needs. If kitty doesn’t like being social, I’ll leave her alone. If he loves people, then we’ll snuggle and play as long as he allows!
