Pet care experience
Hi!! My name is Lena, and I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals. I currently work at a veterinary clinic, where i get experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve become comfortable recognizing signs of illness, administering medications, and providing compassionate care to pets with special needs. My experience working close with veterinarians is sure to keep owners relieved! I have been around animals my whole life! I currently have 4 dogs. I grew up with dogs, and I’ve had the privilege of caring for them from puppyhood through their senior years. I also have experience caring for cats and currently have a cat of my own! My combination of professional experience and genuine love for animals is perfect for your precious pets! I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I’m committed to providing the same level of care and attention I would give my own pets! My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind by providing reliable, attentive, and loving care while keeping pets happy, healthy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also love updates and photos so you can stay connected to your babies while you’re away!

Reviews
Nicolena's love for our pets is so evident in everything she does with them! From the sweet way she talks to them to, to the fun she has with them. And let's not forget all the belly rubs, ear scratches and hugs. Her training as a veterinary assistant makes me even more confident that our pups - and cat - are in the best care when they're with her!
"I cannot recommend Nicolena Horvat highly enough. She has cared for my dogs as if they were her own, providing exceptional attention, love, and reliability every time I have needed her to take care of them. What truly sets her apart is her dedication and compassion. When one of my dogs, Sylvia became seriously ill, she recognized that something was wrong and took action that helped save her life. Her knowledge, attentiveness, and genuine concern gave me tremendous peace of mind. She also had a calming effect with me which really helped me get through my pups autoimmune disease. I am forever grateful for the care she has provided to my girls and would trust her without hesitation. You could not ask or find better care.
Nicolena is a very well respected employee at the veterinary clinic she works at, she has an absolute passion for animals. She has never not been surrounded by dogs/cats. She doesn’t just think they’re cute, she feels for them. She dedicates time and love into every cat/dog she comes across. If you want to make sure your furry friends are in good hands while you’re away, Nicolena will ensure such.
