15+ yrs professionally pet sitting

Pet care experience

As a lover of all animals, big or small, I'm your pet sitting gal! I have always loved animals and have cared for many different kinds over the years. When the prospect of earning while caring for pets was presented to me, I leaped at the opportunity! Caring for others' pets provides a fullness to my life without the heartbreak that is often endured from working at a shelter. There is no love quite like that of a four-legged pet, so caring for them is always a dream come true. Pet care with me is an experience and not just a service. I have been working professionally in the industry for over 10 years, with experience that includes puppy care, specialty feed care, medicinal administration (including insulin and subcutaneous fluids), and an exceptional ability to follow your desired care instructions. I’ll make sure that meow-meow or pup’s time with me is as close as possible to the time they spend with you at home. Our son has been around dogs since his womb days, thanks to the guard dog known as Rolo, whose bark became recognizable to our son before he even made his birthday debut. Our son has already proven an understanding of proper treatment towards animals, understanding that it's not okay to tug on them, and that we pat gently if we wish to pet one of them. One of the words in his growing vocabulary includes "dog!" During weekdays 8AM-5PM, he typically accompanies me for visits/walks, as I am a full-time parent first and foremost. Our neighborhood is a community and our neighbors are our friends and local "watchdogs." There are plenty of parks, trails, and even a small lake nearby that we love to walk. Currently offering visit and walk services to Blackhawk community only.

This was the first time that I used a pet sitting service and it worked out very well. Nicky gave my dog a lot of love and attention; she was at my house at the time we agreed and she sent me a very detailed report as well as pictures.I will certainly use Nicky in the future.

I know Nicky from watching my dogs personally and if she can handle my 3 crazy dogs she can handle anything! She also gave e my oldest his medicine when I was out of town. She is great with all dogs my 3 range from a min pin, collie, and lab small med large and old and puppy energy levels she takes care of them like they are her own.

Nicky is a very responsible, caring, loving and punctuial person. I would trust Nicky with my pets and in my home. She's a very honest person and loves her animals.

Information Nicky B. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pet have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Does your pet like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? Is your pet current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention medication? What does your pet do well around? What does your pet try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pet?

A typical day

Your pet’s day will be spent with my son and I, where we’ll have plenty of time together since I work only part-time and from home. I love to stay active, so we’ll have plenty of opportunities to head out and get some exercise at the nearby parks and walking trails or just in our backyard. Stays with me are very interactive, so we’ll make sure to provide your loved one with the exact same care, or more, that you provide at home. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s schedule to make them feel right at home.

Availability

I am currently freelance, so my schedule is quite flexible. I do stay home with our 5yr old full-time for homeschooling, however, hubby works from home full-time as well, so I do not always need to bring our son with me when I leave the house.
