Professional Animal Caretaker ❤️

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals ever since I was a kid! I have had 3 dogs and 3 cat in my life. Currently, I have two cats at home named Levi and Salem! My boyfriend’s family breeds and trains German Sheppards, so I have a lot of experience with caring for high energy dogs. I have spent a lot of time volunteering at my local animal shelters caring for all kinds of personalities. I currently work at Starbucks, and I’m looking for some extra income doing something I’m passionate about. I have a flexible schedule and I would love to meet you and your fur baby ❤️

Right off the bat I got an excellent first impression of Nikki. She is very warm and friendly. She approached my cat slowly, allowing the greeting to be on my cat’s terms. It showed me she understood cats. During the stay she sent pictures and updates which put me at ease. Nikki was extremely flexible with booking times. When I got home my linens and towels were clean which was not requested or expected. She really above and beyond! She’s now my go-to gal! If you’re looking for someone kind, communicative and great with animals… well, look no further!

Nikki was so wonderful and helpful! I had an issue with my keys and she was so flexible and understanding. She went above and beyond helping me and making sure my dog was cared for while I was gone! She is the best!

I have lots of mentally stimulating tricks up my sleeve for at home play. I also love going on long walks by the river with pups since there are some parks along the way!
