Nikki did a fantastic job taking care of my kitties. She has a lovely space for visiting animals and they had everything they could have wanted. Nikki did a great job letting me know how they were doing, so I didn’t worry. I definitely recommend having Nikki care for your pets. If I need to temporarily board my pets, I will hire her again.

Nikki is an absolute angel and is the best pet sitter you will ever find. She has watched our three dogs and cat more than 10 times and they see her as part of their own family. Nikki is communicative, responsible, conscientious, reliable, and always goes above and beyond with our pets without ever being asked. She is always one step ahead and anticipates our needs before we do. We receive so many pictures and videos of our dogs relaxing and spending time with her inside and outside, and it makes us feel great to know that they barely notice we are gone! Nikki’s years of personal and professional experience with animals make her tremendously qualified on paper, but her fierce love and compassion toward all animals set her apart from anyone I’ve ever met. She is closely in tune with our pets’ routines & needs, and asks questions up front to understand any special needs or concerns. Most recently Nikki noticed one of our dogs was hogging all the food at mealtime, so she hung around to make sure the other one was able to eat too. When I’d warned her about our dog’s separation anxiety, Nikki asked permission to utilize our tv to entertain them. When we came back, our dogs were peacefully relaxing and enjoying watching the birds on TV! I am so thankful to have found Nikki, whose services allow my family to travel without any stress or guilt about leaving our pets behind. She is confident, kind, thoughtful, and tremendously dedicated to providing a special and joyful experience for our pets while we are away. There is no one else we feel comfortable trusting with our babies in our home. It is an absolute life saver to know that they are cared for by someone who loves them as much as we do.

Nikki is exactly the type of person you want to take care of your pets. She will treat them like her own and will even make up custom little songs for them. Nikki is incredibly kind and trustworthy and I have yet to find an animal that hasn’t fallen in love with her immediately (just don’t get upset if they end up loving her a little bit more than they love you. She’s just that lovable.)

Nikki is truly exceptional, and I feel so lucky to know her and her love for animals. What sets her apart is her deep background in animal care—she has hands-on experience working at an animal shelter, which really shows in how knowledgeable, calm, and compassionate she is with pets of all kinds. My dogs instantly connected with her, and I could tell they felt safe and comfortable. Nikki understands animal behavior and wellness on a professional level, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was watching out for more than just the basics—she was tuned into the emotional and physical well-being the entire time. She provided regular updates, asked thoughtful questions, and handled everything with total professionalism and heart. If you’re looking for someone with real experience, a genuine love for animals, and the ability to handle pets with both expertise and care, Nikki is the one! I can’t recommend her highly enough!

I worked with Nikki at an animal shelter for over two years. She was always kind, attentive and caring for all the animals. Nikki is also very well versed in dog and cat behavior, and has extensive experience with animal enrichment. I would trust her with all of my animals- large and small!

When it comes to providing compassionate, loving care for pets, Nikki has no equal. Nikki is a kind, smart, and wildly thoughtful person, and those traits are just a single part of what makes her amazing with animals. She also has a depth of experience in the field and I've been inspired on so many occasions at her ability to connect with and care for our favorite furry friends. Whether you have an extra-anxious pup with separation anxiety, or a stoic cat who eager awaits having the house to themselves, Nikki will make sure their specific needs are met. On walks, house-visits, or other activities she will find ways to connect with your animals and make sure they have all the love and enrichment they need while they wait for their furmily to come back home. I cannot recommend Nikki more enthusiastically and am happy to know that all the deserving animals and loving pet-owners in our area will get the privilege to meet her!
