Pet care experience

A pets best friend!

I have had dogs my entire life and at 16 started doing overnight stays for family friends. I have worked with senior dogs, puppies, and dogs with medical needs. While I’ve mostly worked with dogs, I have also tended to cats and fish!

Thank you again for taking care of my cat colony, and the wild parties that the raccoons and possums have on my back deck. 😂 Penny and the cats appreciate you as well! Look for another rebooking soon. Always a 5-star job! Thanks again Nikki!

Nikki was great! She always showed up on time for when we needed her and sent messages and pictures about her visit with Phin. It was our first time using Rover and we were very happy with the service Nikki provided.

Nikki did wonderful job of looking after our cat Abby during the week that were gone. She posted pictures every day and also fed the birds and brought in the mail. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to take care of Abby again.

I like to know if the animals I’m spending time with have any separation anxiety, unusual habits or behaviors, and anything else that you feel is important about your pet!
