Pet care experience

Professional Animal Caretaker ❤️

I’ve loved animals ever since I was a kid! I have had 3 dogs and 3 cats in my life. Currently, I have two cats at home, Levi and Faye! I have spent a lot of time volunteering at my local animal shelters caring for all kinds of personalities. I currently work as a social worker, and I’m looking for some extra income and doing something I’m passionate about. I have a flexible schedule and I would love to meet you and your fur baby ❤️

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have two cats at home who absolutely love play dates with other cats. Of course I will allow time for adjustment in another room for your pet. If it’s preferred that you do not want your pet in contact with other cats, I can absolutely care for them at your residence!

I had a last minute request and Nikki was very caring from the start! She walked my beloved Gio like a pro. Efficient and polite.

Nikki is sweet, responsible, and exudes positive energy. My cats instantly gravitated to her, and I'm grateful for her flexibility and responsiveness. If you're looking for a local pet-sitter specializing in cats—look no further!

Nikki was absolutely wonderful with my cats! Her drop in messages were so detailed, she provided photos of my kitties during her visits, and she went above and beyond my instructions, making sure my cats were well fed and taken care of. She has gained a repeat client in me, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!
