Pet care experience

Expert care for your loved pet 🐶🐱

Hello! My name is Nicki and I currently have two cats named Gertie and Sky. I rescued both of them when they were little kittens. They live like queens and are super active and not shy at all. Growing up I had multiple animals over the years. We had two horses, 3 dogs, cats, fish and birds. I’ve always treated my animals like family members because that is what they are. My dog passed away this past fall after 13 years of the best life ever. I love dogs and cats but especially with dogs I love to walk and run with them. My cat Gertie is fearless like a dog and walks on her leash about 3 houses down and then she is done. Ask me questions about how I can help you! I look forward to taking care of your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

I love the checklist care along with my normal instinct care. Just a easy list of amount of food, medicine or anything particular that needs to happen and then I will take care of the cuddles and care.

Nicki’s communication is fantastic and she takes great care of our pups. We’re lucky to have her help!

My husband and I don’t normally take longer trips out of town but we celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary in Florida and needed someone to watch our Shar Pei, Bear. I booked Nicki to stay at our home and watch him while we were gone and it was the best decision I made. I was very emotional the day before I left because I didn’t want Bear to be lonely or sad or think my husband and I were never coming home so I reached out to Nicki to let her know how I was feeling and she responded with literally everything I needed to hear and it made me feel so much better. Nicki was just the right amount of communicative that still let us know her and Bear were having a great time together while still allowing me time away from my phone on vacation. Nicki is extremely patient, so kind and so sweet. She truly cares for your pet, learns about their little quirks and adapts herself to meet their needs. I truly could go on and on. Celebrating our 10th anniversary out of town would not of been as special or stress free if anyone else was at our home watching our dog. Nicki was the cherry on top. I cannot recommend her enough. I am so extremely grateful and thankful for her.

Nicki did everything I requested and my babies were taken very good care of. She updated me when she was on her way over and took pictures. She gave both of my cats attention and one of them can be rather difficult.

We got lucky to find such a great sitter. Our cat is older and in stage 3 kidney disease so I wanted to make sure we had someone very capable. On top of that, she was so compassionate to our dog when he got nervous during a couple storms. We already signed up for our next trip.

I believe a meet and greet is the best way to find out about the animal ahead of time. This allows them to meet me with you and accept me when coming to watch them.
