Nikera's level of expertise and compassion in taking care of pets is hard to match. If you are fortunate enough to have Nikera as your pet caregiver, rest assured that your pet is in the best hands and will have everything they need to not just feel comfortable while you are away, but to thrive. Nikera is extremely knowledgeable and attentive, which gives the much needed peace of mind when you have to be away from your beloved pet. I would absolutely trust her with all of my cat's needs, no matter the situation. Highly recommend!

Nikera is one of the most caring & knowledgeable people I know when it comes to pet caretaking. When I first got my cat Tilly MooMoo, she helped me name her. She also guided me on steps to getting her vet care. Told me what vaccines & labs she would need. She helped me deflea her. When I have questions about health, or even ways to entertain my cat she always has solid solutions. Nikera is also helping my brother train his puppy Muffin. They are making great progress so far. He is super thankful for her help / support. Any pet in the care of Nikera is in great hands!

Nikera did a wonderful job caring for my two cats. She was reliable, fed them on time, kept them groomed, and scooped their litter box when needed. I would definitely hire her again in the future.

I’ve know Nikera for over a decade from college to present. We have always shared a love for animas and Nikera has gone the extra step to secure a career as a veterinary technician. Any and all animal related questions and concerns I bring to her she will find an answer or ask the right professional on my behalf to properly advise me. She is god mother to one of my cats and is always willing to come by and help me trim my fur babies nails. I recall a time my cat Simba had brown discharge leaking from his eyes and it was Nikera that pointed it out and told me to buy Lysine drops for him. She is not only a trusted friend but a loving mama to her own dog, cat and snake! I wholeheartedly trust Nikera with my animals emotional and physical wellness and recommend her to anyone looking for pet caregivers.

Schedule

In school to become a dog trainer with a strong foundation in fear free and positive reinforcement training so a lot of my time is around observing and playing with dogs. I enjoy going to the dog park with my pup and working on different tricks and talking to other owners about things they've noticed with their own pets. I truly live to make the owner/pet bond stronger.
