“Nikki was great with our three dogs. She went above and beyond with everything we asked, and was able to execute everything they needed to be happy and healthy while she was here. We would 100% ask Nikki to watch our dogs again.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life from cats and dogs, to horses and cows, even snakes and scorpions! Animals are a passion of mine and there’s not much I love more! I work part time and from home so I have plenty of free time to take care of your four legged babies! I look forward to meeting them:) I will be very respectful of your home and clean up after myself and your babies, whether it be inside, outside or in a kennel, I will follow instructions as directed!
About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience caring for pets with very different needs. I currently own a high energy, high maintenance three year old Labradoodle, a senior 16 year old Dachshund who requires gentle, attentive care, and two cats so I’m comfortable balancing play, structure, patience, and affection all at once. I also have experience pet-sitting for a police officer with six cats while he was on vacation, which taught me how to manage multiple pets, routines, medications, and individual personalities responsibly. I take pride in being dependable, observant, and treating every pet as if they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am working part time so it genuinely fits into my daily life just perfect! I help run a restaurant so my schedule can be altered as needed for days on Rover I may have scheduled. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, respectful environment. I follow all care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and remain attentive to changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own—keeping things clean, organized, and secure while maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I do communicate consistently with updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets and home are in good hands. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and owners feel complete peace of mind.
About: I live in Evansville, Indiana, and I have been caring for pets for two years. I love working with animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats two horses in baby chicks, ensuring they receive the best care while you’re away. I have just moved here, I’m originally from Massachusetts so I am looking for a job. Until I find a full-time job, I am free 24/7 I offer care for pets in home or in my client‘s home depending on what they prefer. I am a very active person. I love to go on walks and just be outside in nature. My apartment complex offers a fenced dog park and a walkable trail back to my apartment building.
About: I have over three years of experience working in a veterinary clinic and dog shelter. I have three dogs of my own named Toast, CJ and Cooper. In addition to my boys I have one girl cat named Argent (Argie). I have had experience with medically complex dogs that have seizures, autoimmune disorders, complex eye issues and more. Owning exotic animals and horses has also been a passion of mine for over six years. If you can keep it as a pet, I have experience with it! I am available for select holidays, weekends, and overnight stays (subject to change). I have a part time job during the week which leaves my availability to only on weekends. Animals thrive on routine so I like to keep your pet(s) routine as close to normal as possible. I will send routine pictures and check ins while I am with your pet.
