Animals are my greatest passion!

Pet care experience

I have cared for animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, sheep, goats, ducks, chickens and more. I have also helped rehabilitate wildlife. In 2022 I had baby owls, skunks, and opossums! Working with animals is my happy place.

Nicki is amazing! She is reliable and she has extensive knowledge of many varieties of animals. She is a true animal lover and I will continue to trust her with my babies. No doubt about it.

Nicki has done an excellent job taking care of my cat, Benny on numerous occasions. I trust her 100% to care for Benny with love and compassion. Nicki is a greater lover of all animals.

Nicki is the best! She loves animals and is the most responsible caregiver I have ever experienced. I trust her immensely with all my seniors (we rescue senior animals only). We have special needs puppies who need constant supervision and specific daily medicine requirements. Nicki meets these tasks in every way. I’m always at ease when we leave our babies in her capable hands.

We have been using Nicki for several years to watch our fur babies. She does a fantastic job and goes above and beyond to make sure our fur babies feel safe and comfortable! We had two senior cats who needed medicine daily. As most people know giving cats medicine is tricky. She was always patient with them and tried different ways to encourage them to take their medications. One of our senior kitties was blind and she always made sure not to startle him. Unfortunately, both our senior kitties passed away. After some time we adopted 2 kittens and we were also a foster fail for a senior kitty at the same time. The first person we thought of to watch them when we took our first trip away from them was Nicki. They love her! I can't imagine ever having anyone else watch our fur babies! You will not be sorry using her!
