“Nikki was a top notch last min find for me and my boys…she was quick to respond, and eased my anxiety by meeting me and my pups before my drop in to ensure everyone was comfortable with each other. My anxious dog was very quick to warm up to her which proves to me she has a special way with 4 legged friends. She was attentive and gave lots of snuggles to my little buddies. Would def use her again”
“She’s a very thoughtful sitter, even made my cat a new catnip toy. Made sure everything was done before leaving and made sure my cat was super comfortable. Overall would definitely rebook!”
