Animal Hospital Alumni & Pet lover

Pet care experience

During some High school and some college I worked in an Animal Hospital part-time. I also saved the life of the Clinic Owner's best friend's Dog, a large Great Dane's stomach had flipped. I noticed his discomfort before anyone else was realizing what was wrong. Do know I was not a vet tech, I worked in boarding. I routinely fed, walked, played & provided medication, and in addition played a role in the sanitation of the clinic. Now, I'm post college and unemployed from the corporate world and in a part-time tech bootcamp, so there is a lot of availability at this current time. I love animals and would love the opportunity to add to my years of experience, hopefully this can be with you!

Nikki was perfect. Kept great care of our kitties and was reassuringly communicative about each of our pets well being while we were away. I will definitely be using her again!

I am sure Nikki is a very caring person. It's the first week she takes care of our cat. We are happy to have chosen her.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not board pets at my current residence, due to not having a fence or extra kennels. In your home I ask you questions on temperment of the animal(s) & comply to their standards of care and what they are familiar to.

Information Nikki P. would like to know about your pet

Medications, foods, temper. Do they get along well with other dogs? Should I keep them away from other dogs on walks. Do they pull on leash? What are some comands?

A typical day

If they are pre-registered for local dog parks, I may bring dog, depending on their size and temper. I do understand dogs need to run and have exercise, if they live close to my home (address will be provided), I have a large yard they can run, but will always be attached to a long sturdy leash. The safety and security of your pet will always come first.

Availability

I work from home & have a flexible schedule. I typically chose clients that are either close to my office or close to my home. Depending on check in times I can drop in before my day starts, during lunch or after work. I only except 2 clients at one time given proximity, so I can ensure spending time with the pets so they feel comfortable.
