About: I can do boarding for any friendly cat since I have 2 kittens but it would be hard for me to watch a dog in my apartment or board a dog so I would have to come to your house to watch your dog. For any visit that I will make to your house, I will make absolute sure that your dog is comfortable with me being there, then I will gain their trust so that every time I come back they will get more and more happy that their friend Nikki is coming to take care of them! If your dog needs a walk, don't worry! I have experience with a dog that weighs a good 100 pounds, so they can't run away from me! I'll even clean up after your pooch after they go to the bathroom, just to make sure your neighbors don't get angry with me! Also, any animal I meet I love, so that means any job I take, I will be more than happy to keep returning to your house, or walking your dog(s)!

I will suit to the needs of your pet. Whatever makes the owner and the animal happy. I love spending quality time with the animals!

I have 30 years experience in pet care and my husband's family owns the only pet Cemetery in Westmoreland County. It's been in business for over 50 years. Im currently looking to take on a few clients (multiple pet families & senior/special needs pets/exotic pets) that require more of my time, training and attention. Some are just puppies lol Unfortunately, this app does not provide a description of your pet or what exactly you are looking for . If you think we would be a good match we can have a screening interview over the phone. And then I'd follow up with a meet and greet to do a hands-on assessment on your pet. And we could review the pet care needs and routine. My specialty is dogs with PTSD/behavior issues. I'm not afraid of aggressive or high maintenance dogs. Working with animals is my greatest passion. Currently available Tuesday-Saturday days, evenings and weekends. Works part time as a dog bather, working to become a dog groomer. Love spending my time w pets. Home/family setting doggie daycare/boarding & pet sitting centered around your pets specific needs. I have extensive experience in dog handling, belly rubs. Stocked up on treats, poop bags & puzzles for dogs & cats, I have a big comfy couch, 3 comfy chairs, a big picture window (nose prints encouraged) & fenced yard with a rabbit run.
About: Experienced with animals of all ages and types. Disabilities or hyperactive. No matter the personality type, I’m sure your pet(s) and I will vibe :) I’ve been traveling the world for 6 years now and it seems everywhere I go, an animal in need finds its way to me. In my album of photos, you’ll see the kitten with big ears who we rescued from a trash can in Colombia & found a home for. The stray momma dog who kept following us home & had 8 puppies while in our care in Guatemala who we then found a foster home for. The two kittens we found along the highway in Mexico after our car broke down (coincidence… I think not!) and my sister now cares for. The big dog with the messed up eye who we rescued along with 3 kittens & 5 puppies and found homes for them all & the big dog has his eye back :) along with various other strays who we’ve taken in, found homes for or simply gave tons of love (and food) to along our travels. I don’t have any pets of my own since I just moved here and travel often, which is why I’m on this app, looking to give some love and care to animals while their owners are away :) I am a mural artist and mostly do gig work that fulfills my soul such as animal interactions such as this app provides here :) Open to having pets stay with me if needed or able to go to your home to care for them. When I had my dog, I made her homemade raw food, so if this is something you do and would want me to do while you’re away, it wouldn’t be a problem. Would love to take them hiking or on walks as well!
