Pet care experience

All Furry Friends Welcome!

I have been the designated neighborhood pet sitter since I was a kid, and currently fulfill the same role for all of my friend and co-workers’ furry (and non-furry) friends! Dogs, kitties, bunnies, even reptiles and fish! I also have experience with elderly and some special needs pets - my old kitty required medicine every day for years and I used to care for a cat that required insulin shots twice a day.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my sister who has two very sweet little dogs named Mr. Bear and Ottie! Plus my cat, Nugget, and my boyfriend's gecko, Jalapeno. It is quite a full house! We live in a single story with a decently large fenced in yard, and a great neighborhood for walking so I am accustomed to spending lots of time outside with them.

Great experience! Nikki was excellent with my two dogs, provided regular updates and gave me the peace of mind I had hoped for while enjoying my time away.

Nikki is an incredible pet sitter who is both considerate and caring. She takes time to update you on your pets day, as well as sending photos with updates! She is responsive and very professional. Cannot recommend Nikki enough! The best.

Nikki stayed at our home with 3 of 4 of our pets for a full week. Our dog was still on a special diet for a recent illness and our one cat is diabetic so she learned to do his shots. She even helped with one of the feral cats that I feed by giving him some medication after a recent dust-up. She sent updates and photos every couple days and reached out when she had questions. We returned to a clean house and the pets were all happy. We would definitely use her for pet sitting again.

Amazing pet sitter for our dog Rex. Leaves great, little fun summaries of what went on while caring for our pet and takes great photos of them. Great communication and we trust she does everything she can for our pets

Thanks so much to Nikki for watching my bunny Bailey this weekend! We are repeat clients because of how at ease we feel when Bailey is in her care.
