Pet care experience

Hi! A little about me. I have 32 yrs of customer service from bartending to healthcare, and my love of animals has only continued to grow. My whole 49 years have always included furry, scaly, and feathered friends in my house, but my husband says we're at our limit, booo! What a perfect time to share my passion for the babies that already have their furever homes. Our dog is a spunky 12 yr old Froston (Boston/Frenchie), and our adopted kitty is an 10 yr old BIG conversationalist! They bring so much joy and laughter everyday, from the usual antics or a spontaneous 'Dance Party USA' 🥳 In my past I have usually adopted or acquired my babies, from orphaned kittens in the winter, to a reactive cattle-dog that nobody wanted to deal with. He was my best bud for almost 8 yrs, and while he kept me on my toes around other dogs, I can't imagine my life w/o having been his favorite human! I look forward to assisting you and your fur family needs! Nikki

It was our first time using Rover and Nikki made it a great experience. Our animals loved her! She was good with communicating to us about how the animals were doing and sent pictures with the updates. We felt at ease knowing she was taking great care of our pets. And our house was in perfect condition! We will definitely use her again in the future. :)

Nikki was awesome! For the first time, I could actually relax on vacation, knowing my pup was in such good hands. Nikki was very responsive to messages, easy to work with, and very respectful of our home. We got daily updates with pictures, and it was apparent they were getting along great. Nikki was very mindful of keeping Chloe on her regular routine and spoiling her just as we do. 10/10!

Nikki took amazing care of our pets, giving them love, exercise, and providing wonderful communication. She really got to know their quirks and likes/dislikes. We appreciate and trust Nikki!

Safety, trust & environment

Our current household babies are fed twice a day, they are always excited for play time and snuggle time. We have a fenced in backyard, but I'm also used to no yard, so depending on your home I'm very flexible. As long as I understand what your needs/expectations are, I can accommodate you. I'm comfortable if medications are necessary, and all ages/sizes are welcomed!

Information Nikki P. would like to know about your pet

I've had almost every size dog and age of dog since I was an infant. They all deserve stimulation, care, and love that is catered to them. Let me know how they are used to playing, long walks, shorter walks, are car rides ok? Their happiness is my only goal!

A typical day

Play time is as important as cuddle time! I've used ropes, antlers, stuffed animals, wubbas, lasers, treat puzzle toys, exploring new dog parks, state parks or local trails.
