Information Nicole w. would like to know about your pet

I specialize in the care of senior and medically complex pets. I have over 25 years experience in the veterinary medical field as well as pet sitting so I am extremely versed in all facets of medical caregiving as well as everyday care for pets without medical Care plans. I sit down with my clientele and we work to devise a schedule based on their existing needs. Medical notes from their veterinarian are included in their chart if required, to make sure that nothing is missed. In order to secure me as a sitter I do require proof of rabies unless there is a medical reason that they cannot be vaccinated you must sign a waiver.

A typical day

I typically reach out to the pet parents prior to the visit to see what sort of activities there for kids enjoy and then we can plan an enrichment program based off of that.

Hi! My name is Nikki, and I have over 25 years in the animal care field. I have worked with everything from domestics to exotics. I am a Veterinary technician, and a licensed wildlife rehabber who serves on the board of directors for central Florida's largest rescue. I love all animals and have extensive references. I'd love to help you with yours.

Nikki has been an amazing pet sitter for our two Chihuahuas. She is prompt and always puts our dog's needs first. Nikki has learned our dog's individual needs and takes great care of them. She walks them, loves on them, and makes them feel very comfortable. We have used Nikki for a couple of years and would recommend her for all your animal needs.

We were lucky enough to have Nicole care for our pets for several days a few months ago. One dog is a cranky senior and the other pup was recovering from surgery. Nicole's compassionate care, attention to detail, and expertise offered us a great peace of mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone else for any level of need.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
