Vegan Animal Lover

Don't Stop Retrievin' Hold on to that Feline ... I am not just out here singing & helping take care of pets for extra cash, I have a true passion for all animals. I've been born & raised around a variety of animals throughout my lifetime. From this experience I know that every pet personality is different & requires unique, customized care. Each booking will include all feeding, medication administration, exercise & lots of love! I know that away from YOU, their owner can cause stress & although I could never take your place I'd make it my priority to care for your pet like he/she is my own. I will send fun pictures & give regular updates so you can be rest assured that your pet is safe & happy. I'm looking for some more furry faces, wagging tails & wet noses to hang out with. Can't wait to meet you & your fur baby! I work from home plus I work part time where I am away certain days for 4-5 hours at a time. My 2 year Yorki-poo would be there in my home as a playmate. I am home a lot & have my daughters there as well who help me to give you pet lots of affection & attention. I have a fenced in yard that will give you some assurance that your pet will be safer & have frequent potty breaks. I will also do my best to accommodate you with the picking up & dropping off. All of my bookings require & include a meet & greet in a neutral area for necessary relationship building between you, your pet(s) & I. When sending a booking request please send a message that includes specific days/times/locations of your availability for a meet & greet.

Nikki did a fantastic job taking care of my senior girl and giving her all her meds. Communicated timely and a nice fenced in yard.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 08, 2023

Nikki took great care of my extremely old dog. She sent photos and heaped love and praise on the dog. It was clear that the dog was comfortable, well looked after and genuinely loved.

Nikki and her family were great with our dogs. We got cute pictures and updates about their stay and our pups got to snuggle as much as they wanted.

Schedule

I do work from home & have plenty of time to spend with your pet while in my care. When I have to pick up my kids, I can bring your dog with me if they enjoy car rides or keep them gated off in the non carpeted area of my home.

Safety, trust & environment

I do allow pets to make themselves at home while in my care. As far as night time sleeping arrangements go, I have crates available if that is what your dog prefers. I find it helpful if you would pack his/her own bed/blanket so they have a little piece of home with them.

Pets

A typical day

Dog walking is more than just going on potty breaks, it's a time to give your pup mental stimulation and physical activity plus it makes a great opportunity to create a safe bond between your pet and myself. I like to brush and bathe the pets and they usually love it as well.

It's important to know that you will be providing all of your own supplies such as leash/collar with tags, food, toys. I would like to know if your pet has been vaccinated or fixed and if they can be socialized. Another thing is knowing your pets eating and sleeping schedule.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
