Paws and Claws Pet Sitting Hi, I'm Nikki! Looking for a full-time, experienced and reliable pet sitter?! Look no further! Check out my website: pawsandclaws-petsitting.com Reliable?

I have 20+ years of experience taking care of my pets, and my family's and friends. Hi, I’m Nikki—your friendly neighborhood pet whisperer, snack dispenser, belly-rub specialist, and full-time fur-baby concierge. I have over 25 years’ experience taking care of my own cats, my friends’ and family’s pets. And for the past year, I’ve been a full-time pet sitter, including through Rover. I am a mature, dependable and trustworthy person. I will always show up on time. Whether it’s a quick visit or an extended vacation, I will be at your pet’s beck and 'paw'. I can administer oral, topical, and injectable medications. However, for cats, I charge for hazard pay. 😉

I will send updates with adorable photos after each visit. Yep. / Animal obsessed? You bet. / Will I talk to your pets like they’re people? 100%. Let’s schedule a meet-and-greet. I guarantee your pets will thank you. 😊

Harley is a front declawed, senior kitty. Approx. 10. She's fully vetted and microchipped.

Harley will do best in a calm home with no other cats or dogs. She may be okay with older pets, with a very slow introduction.

This beautiful, sweet, senior kitty will be happiest curled up on your lap, purring quietly while you read or watch TV. Her favorite things are cheek and head scritches and lounging in comfy beds, the softer the better.

Occasionally, she can get overstimulated and may give you a 'love bite', letting you know she's had enough pets.

Her journey:

Harley was rescued from a home with domestic violence. She was very withdrawn and fearful of everything. She was adopted by a kind and patient woman. For over a year, she had been slowly gaining her trust. Sadly, the woman passed away.

The husband was indifferent to Harley. He did the bare minimum with providing her care. She became withdrawn again. She lived in the basement utility room, hiding behind the furnace, only coming out to eat and use the litter box.

She went on living or, existing, like that for nearly a year, with hardly any human interaction.

A year ago, the husband hired me as a pet sitter. When I found out how she'd been living, I was absolutely heartbroken.

Within a few weeks of me working with her, she was out from hiding and sitting on my lap. She was so starved for attention, love and pets.

It took several months of my repeated requests before the husband finally agreed to surrender her to me. He knew she deserved a better life.

So that she doesn’t have to endure the stress of being in a shelter, I'm keeping her in my home.
She's ready to find her person or family and live happily ever after.

Drum roll....🥁🥁🥁 Announcing the official beginning of ticket sales for the FosterCat Inc. Bingo Fundraiser set for Sunday, October 25th! Doors open at 1:00PM this year (to accommodate the Steeler fans watching the game in the UK).

This is such an important event for us as proceeds are entirely directed to the care and placement of our foster cats. Once they are in our care--no matter what the cost--we do what is needed to provide medical services and basic needs to give them another chance at the life they so deserve.
Be prepared to have a catastic😸 time! Back for the ninth year are our ever popular bingo games; door prizes; 50/50; strip tickets; bakery sale; and our basket auction complete with a huge array of basket auction items. Our witty, entertaining emcee, Dave Roman, is back to enhance your experience. We have held our ticket price this year to $50, including a delicious hot buffet luncheon including dessert and beverage.

Bingo attendees who bring any brand bag of cat food (Purina One is preferred) will be given 5 basket auction tickets ($5 value) and entered into a raffle for a $50 Giant Eagle gift card.
