“Thank you Nicole for your patience and care for our cats, Kirby and Maya while we were away. It can take some time for our duo to warm up to new people, but you went above and beyond to gain their trust. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. We're grateful for your kindness and expertise.”
8. Harper M.
About: I've been caring for my own dogs—an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier and a 4-year-old mixed breed—for years. I’m experienced in feeding, walking, and playing with them, and I make sure they get the care and attention they need every day. I’ve also helped take care of pets for family and friends, and I truly enjoy making animals feel loved and safe. I'm a high school student with only three in-person classes, so I have a flexible schedule for mid-day check-ins and evening care. I'm especially available during the summer and weekends, making it easy for me to spend quality time with your pets throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love meeting new friends. I can crate your dog if needed and follow any specific routines or instructions you provide. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority!

“Katie is wonderful. Katie took time out of her own schedule to meet and greet our family and puppies. It is very clear that she loves dogs and they love her too! She is very kind and compassionate with our 2 puppies! Katie is very flexible and willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you and your fur babies are happy! She sends pictures and updates while watching your pup which is so reassuring. We have already booked her for more drop in visits for our 2 puppies.”

We will be using Nikki again in the future!”
