Life-long pet lover with experience
Pet care experience
I have been a life-long pet lover and owner of many animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, frogs, hamsters, goats, quail, chickens and many more. I have experience volunteering at the animal shelter and caring for pets of friends and family as needed. I also volunteered as a foster mom for a cat rescue agency for a few years prior to moving away from the area. I have owned pets with special medical needs including medical care and medication administration, vision and hearing loss, seizures, and post-surgical care. I view all pets as a joy and privilege to have around but understand that some need a bit more attention and requirements than others and am ok with that. As a mother and pet owner, I understand the value of a well-cared for pet in the family. As a nurse, I understand basic medical needs and care. I am a mostly stay-at-home-mom now and the few days I do work, my better half is home with the kids and our two dogs (he is also a nurse and wonderful caregiver to our pets). I look forward to caring for your babies while you are away with the same amount of love and attention I give my own precious pups!
Reviews
Nikki did a great job with our babies! She took extra time to make them feel comfortable and even went above and beyond by cleaning up a few "accidents ". She also did a great job communicating back and forth; highly recommend and will book again!
Nikki was super accommodating for my big puppers. My doberman can be quite intimidating due to his large size but Nikki took him right in and made my dogs feel at home. She followed instructions well and communicated well and within a reasonable time when checking in. Would recommend!
Every time I go out of town and need my doggies taken care of, Nikki is the first person I call! She's attentive to their needs, treats them like her own, and they always come back home happy!
Within minutes of meeting Nikki you'll know that she loves animals; especially her pooches. From her stories of having every pet a little girl could ask for to the way she takes care of her two rescues now, it's easy to see that she has a big heart for furry friends. She's the only person I let take care of my animals. Kind, honest, and dependable: excellent care all around.

Information Nikki J. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, but because I have two dogs of my own and two young children, I cannot accept ANY dog that is aggressive or intolerant of other dogs or children. Please let me know honestly if they are lacking any vaccinations, flea/tick treatment, or have recently experienced or been exposed to pet illnesses so I can better care for them and my own pets. I also would like to know any quirks your dog has so I can more appropriately care for them.
A typical day
We take walks down our road (a quiet dead-end neighborhood street) and play in the fenced-in back yard. We have tons of dog toys, a kiddie/dog pool (weather permitting), and dog-loving kids to run around with. We also enjoy a quiet restful afternoon indoors with plenty of belly rubs!
