Peace of Mind Pet Care

Hello fellow animal lovers my name is Nikki. I am a self employed children's chess instructor who has spent years managing programs and caring for children and animals. I bring a high level of professionalism, responsibility, and attention to every pet I care for. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision. My goal is to make that process as easy as possible for both you and your beloved pet. I am highly attentive to each pets individual needs, whether that means maintaining a structured routine or providing extra reassurance. Spoiling your pet is guaranteed. I don't take a one size fits all approach. Each pet receives individual care based on their personality, energy level, and routine. They deserve it! With me you will receive: *Clear and consistent communication from start to finish. *Multiple updates with photos and videos so you always know how your sweetheart is doing. *Respect for your home, your time, and your pets needs. I am obsessive about keeping your home clean and staying only in the areas designated for your pets care. *Someone who will love and care for your pet as much as you do. *A sweet 9 year old playmate named Reina who is up to date on all vaccinations. Will also be groomed before any sit. I have grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. My love of other peoples pets prompted them to begin to ask me to start dog and cat-sitting. People who are very wary of strangers in their homes have trusted me and were able to take a much needed vacation. I am so happy to be able to fufill this role. Please read the testimonials for more details about the individual pets I have cared for over the years. I am new to Rover, however I have been doing this for a very long time. I only take a limited amount of clients so can can provide the high level of care and attention your pet deserves. If you are looking for a trusted, dependable sitter I am confident you will be happy with the care I provide. Please contact me if you would like to schedule a meet and greet.

Nicole is a wonderful and responsible pet caregiver. She saved a trapped cat by being persistent and then went on to provide a loving and safe home. She has provided pet care services for many dogs and cats in the area including my own and I have no reservations reccomending her.

Nicole found my lost kitty and cared for him until she could reunite him with us through word of mouth, signs and Facebook! I never thought I’d see my kitty again but Nicole was his fairy kittymother!!

Our experience with Nicole watching our dog was exceptional. She took great care of our 13 year old Sheltie. We felt relaxed during our trip because the photos and videos she sent really showed us how happy he was and how well she cared for him. I’m grateful she was able to be with him and love him in our absence. I highly recommend her services.

I can honestly say that my sister is one of the most naturally gifted and loving people when it comes to caring for animals. Her love for dogs is not just something she talks about, it’s something she lives for; she consistently shows through her patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection for every animal she meets. She is always updating owners with videos and pictures so that they don’t miss their animals. Growing up, every pet in our family was treated as a true member of the household. She has always had an intuitive ability to understand and connect with animals both inside and outside the family. Animals naturally gravitate toward her calm, friendly, and nurturing energy. Her current dog, Reina, is an absolute love and gets along with all pets, Reina is just such a happy, well-adjusted, and is so deeply bonded with her mom, which speaks volumes about the safe, loving environment she creates for animals in the home. Beyond her connection with pets, she is one of the friendliest, most trustworthy, and dependable people you could ever meet. She treats dogs with the same respect, warmth, and love that she would give to family. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional, attentive, and loving care for their pets. Anyone animal under her care will receive love, responsible attention, and sincere care. Cara Church, Ph.D. (Sister)

Nicole has taken care of our cats for a few years now. She is completely dependable and affectionate with them. She stays in touch with us and sends us updates and pictures which we appreciate so much. She spends a lot of time with them as well. We also completely trust her with our home. She’s very respectful. We highly recommend her as an addition to your company.

Simply, the most caring dog sitter outside of our immediate family. Our dogs LOVE her and her dog REINA. She has been house/dog sitting our two 100+lb. Shephard/Lab mix for several years when we take our annual vacation to Aruba. We know our dogs will never miss us, because Nikki is such a doting sitter. Highly recommend her!!
