Pet care experience

North Valley Pet Sitting, by Nikki

Hi, I’m Nikki 😀 I specialize in high quality overnight pet care, providing a calm, consistent, and loving presence so your pets feel safe and completely at home while you’re away. I’m very flexible and available on short notice. I would love to be your neighborhood sitter at Villagio Happy Valley and surrounding areas but I am able to travel 15 miles or more to care for your pets. I am a fully insured pet sitter. I take pride in providing a reliable, respectful, and elevated level of care especially when caring for pets in your home, where trust and attention to detail matter. During overnight stays, your pet receives: • Consistent companionship and a calm environment • Walks, playtime, and enrichment based on their routine • Extra attention for puppies or senior pets • A clean, well maintained home while you’re away • Light home care, such as watering plants and bringing in packages I have experience with puppies, high energy dogs, senior pets, and multi pet households. I always tailor care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Living in Arizona, I’m mindful of heat and safety, adjusting walks and activity to keep pets comfortable and protected. I provide you updates with videos and photos throughout the day so you can relax, knowing everything is being handled with care. I’m proud to be part of a family run, fully insured pet care team, offering dependable and flexible support when needed. I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet to ensure we’re a perfect fit. _______________________________ More about me and my background, I’ve spent my entire life around animals; dogs, cats, puppies and kittens. I got my first pony at 2 years old. My family once had 10 horses. I still have a deep love for all horses. I’ve been around chickens, goats, hamsters, ferrets and when I was very young we had a pet monkey named, “Pepé Le Pew.” I grew up helping in my mom’s dog grooming business in International Falls, MN. This is way up north! I have experience with animals of all ages and sizes. After serving in the Air Force I fostered greyhounds in Golden, Colorado and studied veterinary assisting at Pima Medical Institute. I’m certified in pet first aid and CPR. I pride myself on being dependable, trustworthy, and detail oriented. I had an SCI security clearance while serving in the Air Force in West Germany. I completed Arizona’s security guard course in 2024. I also have hands on experience with horses. I’m happy to help with feeding, mucking stalls, and general care. Let’s schedule a meet and greet to talk about how I can help care for your pets while you’re away and answer any questions you have. Thank you for reading. Have a wonderful day.

Nicole truly went above and beyond to make sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such attentive and loving hands. She was incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and flexible with our schedule, which we really appreciated. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and it absolutely shows in the quality of her care. We’re so grateful for her extra effort and would happily trust her with our cats again!

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs—medical, behavioral, or otherwise—so I can provide the best care possible. For everyone’s safety, I will always keep your pets separate from other animals during our time together. If there are other dogs at the dog park I will wait until they leave before entering. Let’s schedule an in person or virtual meet and greet through the Rover app to go over your pet’s care. The more you can share about your pet’s habits, preferences, and routines, the better! Feel free to write things down for me because I truly appreciate the extra details. Thank you for taking the time to read this —I’m here to make sure your pets and your home are in great hands while you’re away. Have a wonderful day. Nicole Gregory
