Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive, loving, calming care 💕
Hi, I'm Thuy ("Twee" or Nikki). Former social worker and teacher, now a stay at home mom working part time on my art program for neurodiverse children. Animals are my other love! I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, but more so recently after leaving my career. As a stay at home mom, I have the extra time and attention to care for your pet. And I will love them as they are a part of my family! Since we don't have pets, Rover has been the next best thing to happen for us. We've bonded deeply with the ones that we've had the chance to care for and are so grateful. Co-regulation happens. Safety happens. Play happens. We really enjoy every experience. As a neurodiverse family, it's been so healing for our brains and nervous systems. I am at home full time 7 days a week. If I'm not doing home duties, I am spending time with my kids outside. I have two boys ages 5 and 7 who I homeschool. They are sweet boys and love animals as well. We'd love to have a companion to join us on our walks and small adventures (if that's their thing). Otherwise, staying in is so nice too - we love doing art, making food, and having company at our cozy home ❤️ We have AC for the hot summers for added comfort. I have most experience with small dogs that require gentle care, administering medication, and providing care for their special needs.

Ratings and reviews
Thuy and her family were absolutely wonderful with our 8-week-old kitten, Nova. From the start they treated Nova like part of their family — gentle, attentive, and full of affection. We received consistent, thoughtful updates while traveling, which put us completely at ease during our first time leaving Nova with anyone. Thuy showed genuine love and care, and we trust her and her boys fully. Thank you for the outstanding support and kindness — we will definitely book with Thuy again. Highly recommend Thuy and her family for you and your pet family. Thank you so much again.
Thuy is a very loving and devoted mother and caregiver! She has a natural ability to care for others and make them feel understood. This loving and empathic quality is reflected in everything she does and the way she treats all beings with love and care. I not only trust her to care for my pets/babies and I don't just leave anyone to this task, but I have peace of mind that they will be provided for and looked after. Thank you for your beautiful and kind heart Thuy! :)
Thuy took great care of my two pups with daily drop-in visits for three weeks while I recovered from surgery. She showed up every day, on time, to take care of their food and meds. Thuy consistently provided them with loving snuggles, and made sure they were happy every day. They loved going outside with her! One of my pups is a tripod who needs special care. Thuy mastered her particular care right away, which set my mind at ease. She was deeply kind, gentle, and loving to my little pups. I’ve certainly found my forever puppy sitter. I can’t recommend her more.
Thuy supports me with dog and cat care whenever needed. She’s attentive, gentle, and treats every pet as if it were her own—ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾💛
Thuy is very warm, sweet & caring. I feel very safe with leaving my fur baby in her care. He loves his sitter. 5/5 stars!
Thuy N. took care of my 2 bunnies and my cat while we were on a trip in Europe. She did so good with them, sent me pics every other day or whenever requested. I loved that her boys gave them all the snuggles and played with them all day long. She took such great care of them and my pets seemed like they didn’t even mind we were gone lol -which is awesome!!

Schedule
I am at home full time 7 days a week. My husband is a small business owner/chiropractor with very flexible schedule so if I need to run errands, he takes over. Someone is always home so your pet will never feel alone.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As a trauma survivor, I know firsthand how essential providing safety is in building trust and a good relationship. Providing the environment for rest and play is secondary but equally as important. I strive to make every pet comfortable in our home, respect boundaries, and cater to their specific needs.
A typical day
We have a corner lot and a garden we tend to that keep us outside a lot. So thankful to live in a very walkable neighborhood... we love getting out for walks whenever we can to enjoy the flowers in spring/summer, take pictures, spend time at Hiawatha Park. If your pet is okay with car rides, we can relax at nearby Alki Beach or Lincoln Park. At home, so much undivided time for play (and cuddles when needed for relaxing). We have all sorts of toys and balls in our sensory box. My boys also love setting up simple obstacles and building LEGO creations for their furry friends to experience.
