Information Nikky Y. would like to know about your pet

Please leave me with any notes of what makes your pets special. If your babies are reactive (without aggression) to other dogs, people, cars, etc, that’s okay! Just please let me know. Otherwise, their quirks, anxieties, feeding specifications, and anything else are all within my capabilities!

A typical day

We will go on long walks around my neighborhood, my complex has a park that’s attached. Otherwise, they will have plenty of room to have the zoomies inside and lots of toys and games for them to explore.

Pet care experience

Hello! ☺️ I am a recent NYU grad that has always loved taking care of pets. I’ve had animals all throughout childhood and they were my entire heart. Also, my mom’s a dog groomer! So I have lots of experience with all different kinds of breeds and ages ❤️ *I also have experience and would love to take care of any small creatures including: hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils, certain reptiles, etc! I am responsible, attentive, and my love for animals knows no bounds. I will take care of your pets like they are my own and I will ensure that they are safe and happy their entire time with me. I am here to relieve any and all worries during your time away.
