Pet care experience

experienced dog watcher

I am a very patient individual and have had a dog my whole life, I am accustomed to caring and playing with her when she was a puppy as well as a senior. I have also always had a cat and am great with overall pet care. I am in good physical shape and can run with your dog if they wish! But I enjoy walking and playing games too. I am CPR and first aid certified (for humans) but which can be applied to dogs if an incident were to occur! I enjoy playing and entertaining dogs, as well as showing them a lot of love which they always show to humans!!

Thank you so much for taking great care of Carter! Nicki was very responsive in setting up a meet on short notice and took the time to understand all my anxious pitty’s quirks. She was super accommodating with the drop off/pick up as well. Reliable and trustworthy sitter - I felt more than comfortable boarding Carter for a few days with Nicki. Could not recommend enough 🙂
