Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I love spending time with dogs and cats of all personalities and ages! I currently have two senior rescue dogs and a rescue cat — Madison, Olive, and Winnie — who have taught me so much about patience, trust, and individualized care. Because my own pets came with health and behavioral challenges, I understand how important it is to find someone dependable, patient, and attentive to care for your pets. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, feeding, medications, potty breaks, backyard time, litter box care, and plenty of love and attention. During house sits, I can also bring in mail/packages, water plants, and help keep your home feeling cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or just wants extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

My dogs are my children - and Nicole treated them as exactly that! Meeting her, it was clear she's a pet lover and truly enjoys what she does. I have a very high-energy pit bull and Nicole brought calm energy and affection, handling her with grace and confidence. She checked in and sent photos regularly, which I really appreciated. My dog spent the week enjoying Nicole's attention and affection - and it was a relief knowing she was tended to with care so I could travel without worries. We'll definitely use Nicole again!

Nikkie has a deep compassion for animals and has dedicated years to supporting and volunteering at rescue organizations. Her care goes far beyond volunteering, she has two dogs and a cat that she constantly cares for, never missing an early morning or late-night medication routine when needed.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Nikkie for over 20 years, and I can say she's one of the most dedicated and compassionate animal caregivers I've ever met. She has cared for both cats and dogs throughout her life, always going above and beyond to ensure their comfort and happiness. What speaks volumes about her character is her deliberate choice to adopt senior animals. She has chosen to open her home to pets in their golden years so she can give them the life and care they deserve. Her commitment to a pet's medical needs is exceptional. She handles veterinary care coordination, medications and special health requirements with the same level of responsibility and diligence you'd want for your own pet. She is thorough, calm under pressure and never cuts corners. Beyond her own animals, Nikkie has volunteered with nonprofit pet rescues, giving her time and heart to animals in need. Your pet won't just be looked after - they'll be truly loved.
