Your babies are my #1 priority 💜
Pet care experience
I’ve cared for dogs with skin conditions, special dietary needs, allergies/sensitivities, food aggression, and I’ve administered medications of all kinds (oral, optic, subcutaneous, etc.). I’ve cared for geriatric dogs as well as puppies; shy, ‘aggressive’, scared, outgoing, and everyone in between. I understand proper leash etiquette but also understand that each dog is an individual; I am a fast learner and take direction really well. I love a challenge and have never met an animal, of any kind, that I didn’t immediately love. Not only am I well-versed in dog care, but I have also taken care of cats my whole life; special needs, kittens, and geriatric. For the last two years, I have cared for chickens, pigeons, ducks, fish, turkeys, and peafowl so I am excited to care for yours as well! I am currently unemployed and plan on making this a full-time job starting immediately. I am very flexible, have my own car, and can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I live in a large rambler with a completely fenced in backyard that faces the beautiful Wonderwood Park. Both my animal-loving mom and sister live here and would love to be a part of giving your furry friend(s) some extra love and attention. We currently live with 2 dogs (Littles who is a 16 y/o chihuahua mix—who just wants to be resting in his favorite spot, and Cheeto who is a 5 y/o American Bulldog/shepherd mix who is extremely submissive and loves to play), 2 cats (Lucy-3 y/o and Turtle-2 y/o, 1 pigeon (Lady-4 y/o), and 5 chickens (Vinny-6 y/o, Misty-6 y/o, Penguin, Pidgey, and Piglet - all >1 y/o). Our home is equipped with a series of gates to keep animals in/out of certain areas and we are more than able to accommodate any age, any demeanor, and any special needs. We have hardwood floors but have many rugs already down, with extras available if needed.
Reviews
Nikki is so wonderful with our dogs! She is upbeat, reliable, and dependable. She walked our dogs for a week when we could not, and they clearly had a fantastic time during each walk. I recommend her highly!
Nikki is a wonderful dog sitter. She took great care of Toby two days after his neuter.
Nikki stays with our cats whenever we are out of town for longer stretches and she's the best, takes great care of the cats and the house, communicates very well and clearly, we love having her!
From our first consultation, it was evident that Nikki was a passionate, responsible, and dedicated sitter. While introducing her to my big barky dog, she remarked that he had a “beautiful voice” — if that doesn’t speak to her love for this work, I don’t know what will! While away, Nikki was incredibly communicative and responsive. Upon returning home, it was clear that my dog was well taken care of. He actually seemed a little disappointed that I wasn’t Nikki! My apartment was also well kept. I would recommend Nikki to anyone looking for a helping hand with their four legged companions. Thank you for taking such good care of my boy, Nikki!

I live right behind the beautiful Wonderwood Park where they have amazing trails and plenty of space for any demeanor. We have a fully fenced backyard where your furry friend(s) can enjoy chasing the ball or frisbee! After getting all of their play energy out, they will come in to a nice warm house to enjoy all the attention/affection they want.
