Pet care experience
Pawsitive Love for Every Pet
I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was 6, and I can’t imagine life without them! I grew up with small dogs and now share my home with three wonderful cats, including a sweet senior. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of caring for not just cats and dogs, but also mice, rabbits, snakes, and even a duck with no legs named Peggy. I also have a soft spot for big dogs who think they’re lap dogs (the best kind!). Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just keeping pets comfy and happy, I love making every furry, feathered, or scaly friend feel at home.

Ratings and reviews
Nicole was extra attentive to our anxious pup. She was extremely communicative with great photos and appropriate questions to make sure she got everything she needed. We will definitely book eith Nicole again. Thank you!
Nicole took great care of my kitties while I was away out of the country. She was super responsive and consistent and I was comfortable that they were in good hands. She appreciated their individual personalities and sent great daily updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to ask Nicole to watch my animals or home next trip.
Nikki was very easy to work with for our needs. She was very communicative with questions and updates. We will definitely use her again!
Nikki has been our sitter on numerous occasions. She is reliable, honest and caring. Her experience includes rabbits, cats and small dogs. Nikki is a good communicator and gives you feedback about your pet, if asked. I have no reservations using her in the future and recommend her services.
Nikki watched my two cats for me while I was out of town, and did such a good job that I think they missed her after she left. Highly recommended!
I've known Nikki since she was just a little girl. She has loved animals since she was old enough to know what an animal is. Her love of pets was evident when she would go shopping with her "grammy" and bring home a new "beanie baby" pet. She still has many of those "pets". She, once, rescued a new born bunny, that had been rejected by it's mother, and although Nikki's parents knew that the little bunny wouldn't survive, they fostered Nikki's passion and helped her try to save it. She has owned everything from fish to pet mice, a parakeet, a white rat, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, dogs, and cats. She and her "best boy" Henry (the family shih tzu dog) had a relationship that no one would understand. When Nicole left home to explore other opportunities, Henry laid outside her bedroom door for a couple of days because he missed her so much. She face timed so that she would be able to see him and when she came home for visits, she would hide from Henry and when he discovered her he would be the happiest boy. She taught her cat, Meeka, how to sit and give "high five". Their relationship was amazing to watch. She has cared for my Sophia and Hallie (dogs) many times and they get all the loving they deserve from Nikki. Her love for animals is unmatched.

Schedule
I work from home, which means my schedule is super flexible and pet-friendly! I’m usually available anytime after 10 a.m., and I love fitting in walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks throughout the day. Since I’m home most of the time, your pets will get plenty of love and attention without feeling lonely.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and well-being always come first with me. When I’m caring for them in your home, I create a secure, calm, and dependable environment. I pay close attention to routines, follow instructions carefully, and keep a watchful eye so nothing is overlooked. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me is filled with tail wags, happy purrs, and plenty of adventure! We’ll go on walks to sniff out new smells, play fetch, have tug-of-war battles, and maybe even enjoy a belly-rub break or two. I love making pets feel like they’re on their own little vacation, full of love, playtime, and lots of snuggles.
