Pet care experience

Experienced Care for Your Pets

Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember. I've had cats since birth, cared for large dogs for the past 10 years, and have owned snakes and other reptiles for more than 20 years. This experience has given me a great understanding of the unique needs, personalities, and behaviors of many different types of pets. One of my greatest strengths is building trust quickly with animals. I take the time to meet each pet where they are, learn their preferences, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, or prefers to hide under the bed, I adapt my approach to what works best for them. I understand that pets are family - they are for me too. I can't imagine my life without my pups, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and respect I give my own. Whether you need pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, or just plain companionship while you're away, you can feel confident knowing your beloved pet is in caring and experienced hands.

I trust Nicki with my pets. Her love for animals is immediately obvious to anyone who knows her. She is an incredible pet parent to her own fur babies and treats every animal she meets with the same level of care, patience, and compassion. Nicki has the natural ability to understand and respond to each animal's unique personality and needs. She has experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, snakes, and lizards. Whether it's an easygoing pet that loves everyone or a shy, anxious, or "hard-to-love" animal that needs extra patience and understanding, Nicki has a remarkable ability to earn their trust and make them feel safe. She is highly attentive to animal behavior and picks up on subtle cues that many people miss. She understands when a pet needs playtime, affection, space, reassurance, or extra attention, and she always adapts her care accordingly. Animals seem naturally drawn to her because they can sense her genuine kindness and respect for them. Any pet in Nicki's care will be loved, well cared for, and treated like family.

Let me know if your pets have any special needs or behaviors that I should be on the look out for. If they have very specific feeding protocols or routines, I want to stick with that. I’ve had some elaborate ones in the past and I’m happy to do so again.
