Quality Care & Communication

I’ve always been a lover of animals and have over 16 years of pet care experience. I grew up with two sweet little dogs and last year I adopted a cat named Nila who I love very much. Aside from my own, I have cared for many dogs and cats, along with chickens, rodents, and reptiles. I also volunteered at a cat shelter for a couple years where I socialized shy cats and cleaned their rooms. I'm that person who finds the pets at any social gathering. I have cared for animals with trauma from past abuse. I've cared for blind and deaf animals. I've injected medication for dogs and cats with diabetes, and administered oral medication for other conditions. I've cared for pets after surgery. I've taken care of animals of various ages, sizes, and personalities. I cater my services to the individual animal(s) and follow specific instructions for their care. I understand how scary it can feel to trust someone with your sweeties. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

Nicky was amazing with my two cats, especially with the one who has both a heart disease and cancer. Highly recommend her.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I currently have a very flexible schedule and reliable transportation that allows me to check on your pets at whatever time works best for you and them. I have my own cat and live with another, so pet care is a daily part of my life.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my care receive all the attention and love they could possibly want! I respect animals' boundaries and understand that trust takes time to build. I would like to know ahead of time if they have any stressors I should be aware of. I'd ensure that any spaces where your pet(s) eat, sleep, and use the bathroom are kept clean.

Pets

A typical day

Depending on their preferences and energy level, I'm happy to play with your pet(s) or hang out with them on the couch. Some pets get more anxious than others when separated from their family, so my goal is to keep them as calm and entertained as possible while you're away. I'm sure you give them the best scratches, but I'm ready to compete for second best!

Please let me know if your pet needs any special care, if they have any health conditions, what signs of distress could look like, and who you would like me to contact in case of an emergency. It's also helpful to know what their favorite activities or toys are, to ensure they have the best time possible! p.s. for an additional $20, I will bake a fresh loaf of focaccia to be awaiting your return home :)
