Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Care Concierge at your service
I have 35 plus years of pet care experience. I’m constantly learning and expanding my knowledge on my pet experience, training and grooming. Not only have I rescued dozens of cats but also senior extra large dogs and any lost dogs that come across my path. Currently, I’ve trained my dog for service. I’ve provided in house consultation and training for resolving negative behavior with non aversive technique training. I love working with all animals and earning all of their trust. I look forward to respecting, caring and spoiling your fur babies. I have made my own balanced raw food for my cats that have digestive and skin issues. My cats’ litters are cleaned daily and provide adequate clean water to make sure they have no urinating issues. I can provide minor first aid for any mishaps that can occur when an owner is away and the cats(dogs) will play. I’ve worked with different dog breeds but focus on medium, large and extra large dogs. My last dog was an 11yr old female Saint Bernard/Pyrenees. She was lacking socializing when younger as I rescued her when she was three. She had been reactive (fear) especially since she lost her protector and lifelong companion, a 163 lbs Saint Bernard. I introduced her to new dogs slowly and with the owner’s permission and alway present. But she got better at introduction everyday and I tried to make sure she got a chance to socialize for canine enrichment. I did all of her personal grooming including trimming her nails as she had very long quicks and unfortunately too many just assumed where it was and ended up cutting her making her very paw sensitive. I’ve built her trust in me to know I would never ever put her in harm’s way. I have been taking care of neighbors’ and friends’ pets since I was younger but really have blossomed the last several years with concentrating my full time on pet care and especially training.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m very cautious with all fur babies. I learn to earn their trust before pushing myself on your pets. I let them come to me on their terms. I’m also constantly supervising your pet and surroundings during the booked time and only on my phone to take pics or videos that are required from Rover. I’ve studied lists of toxic plants and animals to make sure to know what to avoid. I also train if wanted by client or if it more enjoyable for the dog for retractable leashes. With my dog bookings, come pawsitive (no fear method) basic obedience training to make sure they understand what is expected of them out and about as well as in the house to make sure to not get hurt like bolting into traffic, out the door or after another animal. On walks, I focus on leash manners to make sure your dog is enjoyable for you to walk them. Finally, I’m an experienced cat body language speaker to relieve any anxiety your kitty might have with strangers. My quiet, meek, submissive body language wins the trust of most all weary kitties. I’ll first do all chores, feeding, watering and cleaning litters then sit down and make sure your cats get as much attention as they want or until I run out of time to move to the next appointment.
Ratings and reviews
Nikki did a great job with our two dogs. She gave us an update every time she stopped in. She also sent us pictures showing the pups were doing fine. I will definitely rebook her for future sittings.
Thank you Nikki for again taking care of our two boys! We are so appreciative!
Amazing attention to detail and description of every drop in. My cats were in great hands. Will book again
Nikki was great with our dog while we were out of town. Since it was our first time using her as a walker, she came over a couple days before and did a meet and greet which was nice for us and our dog to get to meet her. Would definitely use Nikki again!
Nikki was punctual and communicative. She took great care of Pancake and sent lots of pictures, too! Thanks so much!
Nikki was prompt at responding and very flexible with short notice!

Schedule
I officially started my business taking care of your pets in January 2022 right after Covid. I saw a need for pet care with all the adopted animals and people going back to work. I’m a full time pet care concierge. I have openings currently most all week and weekend availability. I’m also looking for more weekly bookings.
