Pet care experience

Work from home animal lover!

I've been caring for animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet's unique personality. Growing up, I had dogs, cats, a pig, and a variety of small animals, giving me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. For more than 20 years, I've provided pet and house sitting for friends and family, caring for everything from farm animals to energetic puppies, senior pets, and cats. I'm comfortable with pets who have special needs and have experience administering medications, including oral medications, allergy injections, and insulin shots. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, drop-in visits, or overnight in-home care, I can accommodate a variety of schedules while making sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. When you're away, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same respect, patience, and love that I would my own. My goal is to help your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and well being are my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether it's administering medications (if needed), maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing training, or simply providing a calm and reassuring presence, I strive to make your pet feel safe and cared for. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

Nikki dog sat for me when I was giving birth to my son. Was so kind and gave frequent check in and send lots of photos. Made the whole experience less stressful and even had a gift basket for me when I got home from the hospital. Definitely would recommend her!

I’ve had Nikki dog-sit for me several times, and she’s been wonderful every time. She communicates great, sends plenty of pictures and updates, and gives me total peace of mind while I’m away. She took the time to get to know each of my dogs’ unique personalities and cared for them accordingly. They absolutely love her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

Schedule

I work from home full time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable drop in visits, midday walks, and in home pet sitting throughout the week. Because I work remotely, I'm able to be flexible with visit times and can give your pets the attention and companionship they deserve. While I don't offer boarding, I'm happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home where they feel most secure.

To provide the best possible care, I'd love to know: Your pet's daily routine, feeding schedule, and potty schedule. Any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or special care instructions. Your pet's personality, favorite activities, and any fears or anxieties. How they interact with other people, dogs, or animals. Any training commands or house rules you'd like me to follow. Emergency contact information and your veterinarian's information. Home access instructions and any security or alarm information.
