“I have known Nickee Mixon for more than 10 years and have always found her to be an extremely compassionate and conscientious pet owner. This does not stop at her own pets but also extends to the community around her. She truly cares about animals and their well being. As a pet sitter, I would trust her not only with my own animals but also to come into my home as necessary to care for them. She shows great common sense in dealing with animals and their needs. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter.”

“Nickee Mixon has been a volunteer with Pet Rescue North, Inc. for many years. She has interacted with the animals at shelter and has always shown kindness, compassion and instant love. Her duties have included the cleaning ,feeding and training the animals. She has adopted from us and in all cases we have always found Nickee to be reliable and very dependable.

We at PRN would have no problem entrusting our personal pets with Nickee as we know they would always be safe and well cared for. ”

Peggy Haynes, Director of Pet Rescue North, Inc. – Jacksonville, FL


“I would highly recommend Nickee and Creatures Great and Small Pet Services to anybody who needs a loving caretaker for their pets. She genuinely loves animals and my dogs seem to be able to sense that quality in her. One of my adopted dogs was severly abused in his last home and would not go near strangers, yet he took to Nickee right away. Not only do my dogs love her, but I know her to be trustworthy. I leave my home keys and precious boys knowing I have nothing to worry about. It’s hard enough to leave your pet family behind, but with Nickee watching over them I can leave with peach of mind. Also, her rates are extremely reasonable, and I have shopped around.”

It is with pleasure and thanks that I write this letter of recommendation for Nickee Mixon and Creatures Great and Small Pet Sitters. Nickee sat for my treasured pets over the course of the several months. I am moving to another state and will miss the peace of mind that Nickee instantly instilled, and continued to prove during my many business travels, while I lived in Jacksonville.

I was new to the area and did not know anyone for the time that I was stationed in Jacksonville. I was worried that I would have trouble finding a sitter for my 18 year old cat and 3 parrots. When I found Nickee I knew I had someone that cared for my pets as much as I do! This was my utmost concern, as my unexpected travel became a regular occurrence for a few months. I needed someone I could trust with my family of critters.

As a somewhat overbearing pet owner, I asked for emails or phone calls daily when Nickee first started with my critters. She happily obliged. I was thrilled to find the detailed email and logs that she left of the visit activity. I hire people on a regular basis in my line of work. It is so rare to find anyone with the caring, work ethic and follow-through that Nickee provides.

I give Nickee and Creatures Great and Small my highest recommendation. I trust her with my only children and would recommend you do so too.

Kind regards,

I have utilized Nickee’s pet sitting services for over a year now and have  loved it! I was traveling quite a bit for work and never really found a kennel I was comfortable in keeping my 2 black labs in. Finding Nickee’s services was the best thing that could have happened. My dogs get to stay in the comfort of their own home and getting great attention from Nickee when she makes her visits to them. She is extremely professional and cares for your dogs as if they were her own. When I need to travel, I am completely comfortable that they are in good hands. Nickee also adds the nice extra touches like taking pictures of them while she is sitting or leaving detailed reports of what they did and how the dogs were acting. It is always a pleasure to come home to see the same waggles from my dogs when I left and not that stressed out look when they come home from a kennel. Nickee is very responsive and adaptable to my schedule of visits. I appreciate Nickee and her extra care she takes in each visit she makes. I would recommend anyone to Nickee! I know I have appreciated her excellent service and I know my two favorite labs appreciate her as well!

Thank you so much for everything – we are VERY pleased with the service  provided.  Detailed notes were left for every day, which we really appreciate. Both cats seemed very content and not stressed like we have seen in the past when we leave them for a few days. We will definitely use your service in the future and recommend you to our friends and family.

I want to thank you for your services.  This was my first experience using a pet sitting service and I was somewhat apprehensive about doing so.  When I returned the dogs seemed very comfortable and had experienced little stress if any at all.  Terri’s daily notes were not only informative but also humorous. They also confirmed her love of animals, she may have spoiled my dogs more than I do  if that is possible.  I look forward to using your services again. Thank you again for such a pleasant experience.

Nickee & Terri—Thanks so much for taking such good care of our gang.  It’s been a while since we have left all three of them for a full week, and it made us feel a lot better knowing that they were in good hands.

We especially enjoyed the Pet Log comments—they were informative, endearing and much appreciated!
