Pet care experience
Teacher/Traveler/Trusted Pet Sitter
Hi! I'm Nikki, a traveling teacher with a passion for exploring the world and building relationships. I've created my own tutoring business where I offer beginner Spanish lessons for kids and also assist families enrolled in virtual learning. I spend the summer and fall living in Milwaukee, WI close to family and friends, but once Jack Frost starts creeping in I head towards warmer weather. While my nomadic lifestyle does not allow me to have a pet of my own right now, I take great pride in being able to care for the pets of others. Growing up, my days were spent playing with and caring for animals. We had goats, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, and a wiener dog who I trained to do dog agility. Nowadays, I'm the go to dog and cat sitter for family and friends when they need someone to watch their pets. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens as well as senior pets and feel comfortable administering medications if needed.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I find that pets tend to be much more comfortable in their own environment, especially when meeting a new person! I am pretty proud of my ability to quickly build rapport with the pets I am sitting and really do want them to transition easily while you are away. I'm a clean and organized individual so you can rest assured your pets, plants, and overall home will be in good hands while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
This was our second time having Nikki watch our dog for a three night stay, and everything went great as usual. My dog was expertly cared for, walked twice/day, fed and loved. My house was cleaner than we left it! Will definitely hire Nikki again she was great and kept in communication with us during our trip. Thanks again, Nikki!
Fantastic! Great communication and so helpful and caring, especially with our old dog who needed a lot of extra care. Thank you so much for keeping everyone happy and safe!
Nikki went above and beyond for our dog and two birds when house sitting for us! We received regular pictures and updates and they were well cared for.
Nikki was amazing! She was able to accommodate a last minute house sitting request and was very thoughtful, dependable and the dogs loved her. She sent constant updates and did more walks than we asked for. Highly recommended!
Nikki was amazing!!! I felt like I could truly enjoy my vacation knowing my pup was in such good hands. She sent lots of picture and videos which I really appreciated!! My pup was so happy when I came home, seemed like he had the best time! :)
Nikki was fantastic! Took the extra effort to make our furry babies feel loved. Her attention to detail is phenomenal. It’s scary to leave your furry babies with someone that you don’t know. She put our minds at ease and we had no doubt that they were well taken care of. She also made the extra effort to put our garbage and recycle bins out that was not required. 😊 She just did it. We will definitely utilize her in the future. 💕

Schedule
I'm a teacher who now works remotely! I have a pretty flexible teaching schedule with many breaks built in throughout the day. Sticking to a routine feeding schedule and letting dogs out to use the bathroom should not be an issue.

- Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or little quirks I should be aware of. I’ll ask you plenty of questions about your pet when we do a meet and greet, but it’s nice to get a general idea of behavior beforehand.
