Pet care experience

New leash on life

I have been taking care of a variety of different dogs and cats (and horses and goats) since I was 18, usually for overnight stays. My favorite was a set of beagles who always woke me up at 6:30am to feed them- no need for an alarm 😹

I am unfortunately not able to have play dates at my place, but am happy to drop in and give your fur baby some attention, or take them out for some fresh air and sunshine!

Nikki looked after my pup for a month and did a wonderful job. She consistently ensured my puppy was well cared for, and I truly appreciate her help.

My wife had to take an emergency trip and Nikki was super helpful! Didn’t want to have to worry about my dogs while at work and certainly didnt have to! Will definitely request her again in the future!

Absolutely fantastic! My wife had to stay longer for her trip so with a day heads up was able to come love on my pups!

Nikki checked on my two cats while I was out of town and did a great job! She was very responsive, gave me updates, and texted me pictures. I would definitely use her again in the future!

Nikki is very kind and caring in her interactions with pets! A sweet soul that really enjoys being around animals. She is excellent on following instructions and will keep anyone in her care safe. She has experience with my many different dogs and farm animals, which has given her good insight into the many different personalities of fur babies. Last but certainly not least she has a great work ethic and determination.

We are huge animal lovers - dog, cat, big, small! Our animals are very much our family and treated as such! It is so scary to leave your Fur-Babies with strangers or trust that they will care for them and love them the way you would. Nikki exceeded our expectations and we knew our babies, big or small, were in very good hands! Nikki is such a big hearted, kind person and you would not go wrong allowing her to care for your Fur-Baby when you cannot be there! Definitely a 10 out of 10!! 😊
