Pet care experience

Helicopter mom for hire!

I genuinely believe I was put on this planet to care for animals. From dogs and cats to small mammals and wildlife, I’ve done it all! I have experience with pretty much any creature you can think of and maybe even some you can’t, lol. Seniors and those with special needs will always have a huge place in my heart. I promise to make your companion feel as loved as possible while you are away!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard and live in a dog-friendly, super walkable neighborhood. My biggest goal is to have your companion be as comfortable and feel as loved as possible while you’re away, so any details you can share with me to keep them as close as possible to their routine would be amazing!

Nikki is the best! She was immediately so understanding, open to learning, and accommodating to all of my dog’s quirks and needs, which made me feel much more comfortable boarding him for a few days. Alfie was definitely in great hands and we will be reaching out for future boarding needs! Thank you so much Nikki! 😊

Nikki was a wonderful sitter for Mr. Cat! She was very attentive to his needs and made sure he felt comfortable and safe in her home. She sent regular updates and photos. You can tell she’s genuinely enjoys what she does and was excited to have him stay with her. I would definitely book with Nikki again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

My dog had a great experience. She loved playing with the other dogs and I could tell that Nikki really cared about her. She kept me updated about how she was doing. I'm very happy with the care my dog received.

Nikki was awesome! She was very responsive, sent pictures, and had a great setup for my dog. She even went above and beyond and was going to get a new toy that my pup lost. Would love to have her watch my dog anytime.

Life landed me in a position to work from home/renovate our house so I am home almost all the time. I figured I’m so used to caring for animals anyway, I may as well help you with peace of mind while you’re away and I can make a few bucks doing something I love that I’m genuinely good at.
