Lifelong animal lover & enthusiast

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Nicki and I'm a recent grad of Shippensburg University. I understand that your pet is a part of your family, I have one dog and two cats that mean the absolute world to me so I completely understand the responsibility that comes with this job. I can't wait to meet your pet and give them all the snuggles in the world. Now let's get to the stuff you really want to know, am I qualified? The answer to that question is an overwhelming yes. I went to a technical high school as well as a public high school and received my certificate for the completion of the Veterinary Science program. Throughout school we learned anatomy, animal behavior, light grooming skills and much more. I have experience with dogs of all kind. I am worked at a doggy daycare for 4 years I have been sitting for about 8 years and I love it. I have plenty of references that would love to answer any questions you have. My availability varies but I can always try to arrange my schedule around yours. I have no problem bringing your pup on adventures with me (to a dog park , or on walks in our state parks, or even just on car rides if they love it etc)

Nicki does a very nice job of communicating daily. Her pictures are great and she loves the furry creatures.

She has been amazing! We've had her for sitting and drop ins, and has nothing but fantastic! My dogs have been skeptical of new people, but she has definitely helped eased them of that! Definitely would keep booking!

Nicki did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She provided us with updates, and was great to work with.

Nicki watched my baby for me for the weekend and provided excellent care. She sent me pictures of walks, messages when feeding to let me know they were done. And overall when I returned home everything was just how I left it and she even gave me a great surprise by organizing his toy chest for me so everything was sorted based on the type of toy(balls, stuffed animals, ect). Which I was very grateful for since it's something I wanted to do for a while now.

I like to stick to your animals schedule as much as I can because I understand that the time you are away can be stressful for you both. However I am always down to take a car ride to a park or somewhere fun to hike.

Information Nicki H. would like to know about your pet

All shapes and sizes of dogs are welcome! I would love to know anything you can tell me to make your dog a happy pup! I just like to know of any food allergies, possible resource guarding or food aggression, and any medical issues that your dog has had in the past that I need to look out for

A typical day

I live near a great bunch of parks and woodsy areas that are a great place for a nice walk. I also love just hanging in the yard throwing the ball or playing with other toys
