All Furry Friends Welcome!

Pet care experience

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.

Nikki always goes the extra mile to make sure our fur babies are well taken care of, and is very accommodating when unique situations arise - highly recommended!!

Nikki is the sweetest; my girls always seem well cared for and my house is always as neat as I left it.

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.

Information Nikki E. would like to know about your pet

I love getting to know animals through their quirky habits and personalities, so feel free to give me a rundown on these beforehand! Anything you feel is worth knowing before getting acquainted, I’m all ears!

A typical day

I am definitely a homebody at heart so I like to spend a lot of time with the animals I take care of! In the nicer months I am a big fan of trips to the parks, or any number of trails (especially in Henrietta, there’s some good spots!) For the indoor only friends I am always down for a couch cuddle or playtime with toys!
