About Nickali L.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to my pets my Mongolian Gerbil Hiro requires checkups regularly and a well maintained habitat with proper calcium-free sand or reptile sand. Shes generally low maintenance but very spoiled with treats and wooden houses that she can use to take care of her teeth so they don't overgrow. My Firefox Lab Rylee is very energetic so I often play fetch with her outside and take her on walks. If she isn't running laps around me she's typically watching TV with me on our couch. When it comes to your pet I would like to be told what behaviorisms and daily rituals they are familiar with in your household to make them most comfortable and what their favorite activities are so I can make the most out of your pets experience in being taken care of and give them a safe and happy experience that feels familiar to their everyday. Every pet is different, so please let me know what is part of their individual regular schedule!
Information Nickali L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time about any need-to-know behaviorisms such as food guarding, dog aggressive behavior, happy tail, and so forth so I may be able to be fully aware and prepared to properly provide for your pet, and ensure your pets and my safety. Also because of previous Clients under preparing which has caused issues for me before, please make sure all food, treats, leashes, harnesses, collars, and other important information are prepared and mentioned on paper before the booking happens please and thank you. (All Petcare information should be put onto a piece of paper with legitimate (easily readable) handwriting or on a printed typed out page please and thank you).
A typical day
For a typical day taking care of dogs I love giving them proper stimulation through running with them, playing fetch, tug of war, giving exercise stimulation through puzzle toys, light training with reviewing commands and so forth. I like to make sure that each and every pet is given the proper exercise and enrichment to bring out their full physical and mental potential. - With cats I like to figure out their specific interests, and then capitalize on them, whether it be using a red dot light for them to chase, using toys that stimulate their prey drive, and give them comfort and a stress-free environment while also having them interact with me and get their energy out.

The Best Certified Care!
Pet care experience
Hello there and let me give you an introduction towards my experience and me as a person👋 - Experience wise I have raised over 45+ foster care animals in my family household growing up ranging from Pugs to Rottweilers to Great Danes to Belgian Malinoise to Cavalier King Charles Spaniels to GSP's and many more breeds, and have previously petsit for friends and family. I also have professional work experience from my previous job working at Country Estate Kennel in Shiloh for about half of a year as an Animal Technician and I am currently working at No Leash Needed as an Animal Technician/Supervisor registered under the National Veterinary Association (NVA). I am also certified for Dog and Cat CPR and First Aid which covers Seizure Care, CPR Instructions, Instruction on how to deal with wound care, and how to check for signs of overheating or choking as well as how to deal with them if the situation ever arrives to ensure your pets safety to the fullest of my ability. - I am experienced in dog bathing, low level grooming (brushing, combing, light trimming, removing matted fur/hair), and so forth. I also am trained in and familiar with giving oral medication if your pet has that as a requirement, such as seizure medication, diabetic medication, and so forth. I also will give walks for each animal if preferred for free for your pet if you are booking me for house sitting, and lastly I also do trimming of nails as well. - I am glad to offer truly professional care, while maintaining a good relationship with my clients as I understand that our pets are like our children to us, and if they are to be under my care, I see them and take care of them as though they were my very own pets such as my Foxfire Lab Rylee and my Mongolian Gerbil Hiro.
Reviews
Nickali took amazing care of our dogs. He was communicative and kept us updated with photos while we were away. We came home to happy pups and a clean house. We’d definitely book with Nickali again. Highly recommend!
Nickali and his partner took incredible care of our two dogs (one of which can be reactive at times) and three cats as well as our home. He was attentive, followed our pets schedules, and provided regular communication and pictures. We had absolutely no worries about our time away from home because of him and we will gladly rebook in the future.
I was incredibly nervous because this is the first time I've gone on a full vacation since my boy came to live with me at 8 weeks old and now he's 6. Nickali was accommodating for a couple meet and greets so Gunner would be comfortable. The night I was leaving was a little challenging but Nickali handled my boy so well and understood his breed and temperament to give him the space he needed to settle in. Things ended up going very well and I'm so grateful for the patience and understanding from Nickali. Nickali gave daily updates on how thing were going and things got better with each day. That definitely helped me relax and be able to enjoy my vacation without so much worry like when I left. I now feel way more comfortable about going on a vacation and leaving Gunner in great hands.
Nickali was early in order to get to know our two dogs. I could tell right away watching the playful action that everything was going to fine. I stayed in touch with Nick in the morning and evening via Whats app and was able to see and hear our dogs and talk to Nick and insure that things were going great, which it was. I will hire Nick again to watch my dogs.
