Veterinary Assistant

Pet care experience

Thank you for visiting my profile!I've been working with animals for 8 years, from boarding facilities to animal hospitals. I can medicate special needs pets, give fluids, and of course prescribed cuddles. I am comfortable with all breeds. I have three cats and three dogs; a pit bull terrier, a jack russell terrier, and a shepherd lab mix. I take my time with anxious cats and dogs to make sure I can earn their trust for the long haul. I tend to carry treats on me and I will ask before hand if your pet has any sort of diet restrictions. I am currently employed at an animal hospital in Gig Harbor. Much cuddles! Lots to love :)

Thanks to Nikki we were able to leave our elderly dog and go on vacation! Nikki came each morning while we were away and give him subQ fluids for his kidney disease. She was professional and easy to work with. We highly recommend Nikki and will be booking her again :-)

Nikki was great! My cat isn’t the most friendly and he’s incontinent, so it’s hard to find someone to stay with him! She sent pictures and updates. Sigmund wasn’t super stressed when I got home. I would definitely hire her again!

Nikki did a great job with my baby! Piper can be a little tentative but Nikki have her the time to warm up and had her snuggling in no time.

Nikki was great! She was flexible with our crazy wedding schedule, took great care of our pets, and took some great photos of them. Couldn’t have been easier for us on our big day!

Information Nikki E. would like to know about your pet

Is your pet aggressive? Do they get anxious? Do they have any food allergies? Any concerns with your pet being around other animals? I want to make sure everyone is comfortable at all times.

A typical day

A typical day would be a nice long walk to start the day before breakfast and a brief one afterwards to follow up on any leftovers from breakfast, relaxing throughout the day and two more walks before bedtime.
