Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Nikki! I am a yoga, travel, and pet lover! I have years of experience fostering dogs and cats in the past. I have fostered special needs cats and dogs and do have experience in that area. My last experience was fostering a beautiful one eyed special needs pup who got adopted within weeks! I can't wait to start meeting new furry friends! I have a very flexible schedule! I am home all day as I work remote in Human Resources. I am available all day and have a very flexible schedule for last minute needs. I know that things come up with busy schedules and I am very accommodating for those last minute emergencies.

Nicole was wonderful. She went above and beyond what we expected. She is reliable, friendly, smart and generous. She was an excellent communicator and kept us informed. I would highly recommend Nicole for any job!

Nicole is the best! I was able to enjoy vacation knowing she was taking care of my dogs. Her communication was excellent, replying to messages literally in minutes. The dogs were happy and healthy when we returned, and the house was in the same condition as when we left. She is thoughtful, kind, and trustworthy. This was our second time using Nicole and we will definitely plan our future vacations around her availability.

Nicole was awesome. I felt so at ease knowing she was taking care of my girls. One of my dogs is 17, can't hear and has no teeth so I get really worried about leaving her. After meeting with Nicole my fears were put to rest. She was excellent with photos and updates. I will most definitely rebook with her.
