Logan Nikolich

My name is Logan, and I'd love to introduce myself as the owner and founder of Noah Barks Pet Sitting. Being surrounded by animals is a true joy, and I couldn't have asked for a more fulfilling job. My passion for pets stems from my childhood when my sister and I couldn't wait to get a dog. We sold golf balls in our backyard until we collected enough funds to bring home our first dog, Noah. While Noah has since passed, she is the driving force behind my entire company and career.
​
In 2022, I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a degree in Neuroscience and Behavior. My background in Veterinary medicine as a vet tech has furthered my knowledge and love for animals. In February 2023, I acquired certification as a professional K9 trainer. With experience in handling police K9s, pet dogs, competition dogs, and service dogs, I am well-equipped to cater to diverse needs. I am skilled in administering injectable and oral medications and providing specialized care for animals with unique requirements.

Gabriella Almaraz
I've always felt a special bond toward dogs, and each dog that has entered my life has touched my soul and left a paw-shaped print on my heart. I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 2021 with a degree in English Creative Writing, fueled by my dream of publishing one day. I adore the world of literature and have an equally deep passion for animals. My journey into pet care began with volunteering at the Humane Society and later working at a doggy daycare for two years.
​
I grew up running around the house with Dachshunds and thought I'd be content with my now 15-year-old doxie Dandy. However, in 2021, my husband and I rescued our sweet boy Cubby, a German Shepherd Rottweiler mix, and in 2022, we rescued a lovely tabby girl cat named Muffin. Our home is a true animal haven; we cherish every moment with our fur babies and look forward to welcoming more paws to our family.
Caring for both dogs and cats brings me immense joy. Each pet has a unique personality and special needs, just like humans, and I'm committed to providing the best-personalized care possible. Whether going for long walks, engaging in playtime, or simply offering a comforting presence, I am dedicated to ensuring your pets are happy, healthy, and content.

Anique Border
Hi, my name is Anique! I have been a trainer since 2021. I originally started handling working dogs for law enforcement agencies and personal protection dogs! I have trained numerous pet dogs and specialize in leash manners and basic obedience. I own 2 working dogs that I trained myself and I love teaching them new tasks and keeping training fun with them! Working with animals is both a passion and a hobby of mine and I look forward to caring for your babies while you are away!

Jessica Hudgins
Hello, my name is Jessica Hudgins! I am a student at Florida Gulf Coast University and studying Coastal Environmental Science. I love all animals and have been around them my whole life. I have had snakes, dogs, and cats.
While away at college, I was looking for a way to spend more time out of my dorm and explore the city. I have always enjoyed the company of animals, and figured I should start working with them! Logan and I have known each other since middle school and we used to nanny for the same family! We would "co-parent" for them all the time and worked as a great team!
​
Although I am still taking classes, I have a flexible schedule and would love to work with you! I promise to treat your fur babies like my very own and treat your home with lots of respect. I look forward to becoming your pet's next best friend and cannot wait to meet you all!

Vicky Gatziaris
Hi everyone! I’m Vicky and I have had a great love for animals my entire life. I believe they can sense my loving nature and are drawn to me, in the same way I am drawn to them. When I lost my boxer, Sara, it put a large hole in my heart. I felt I was missing something in my life. I began pet-sitting to fill this hole and bring the joy back. Now, I have a small dog, Lola, who loves to play with her client friends!
I know how difficult it is to trust someone with your pets but I can assure you they are in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and getting to love on your fur babies while you are away!

Shannon Burke
Hi everyone! My name is Shannon Burke! I am currently a student at Florida Gulf Coast University studying Forensic Studies. I have been an animal lover my whole life but aside from that, I enjoy working out, being outside, going to the beach, and having fun adventures. Back home, in New Hampshire, I have three wonderful dogs, a Shepard/lab mix, a tri-color pitbull, and a lab mastiff. Being so far away from them is hard so I knew this job was the perfect fit for me!
​
I have always grown up with animals my whole life. I have had experience with dogs of various sizes and ages. If I get the opportunity to watch your animal, I will treat your fur baby and home with love and respect. I can accommodate your needs, as well as provide an abundance of belly rubs, walks, and cuddles with your animal.
​
I look forward to caring for your pet and meeting you!

Alexis Wightman
Hi, I’m Alexis and I am currently a junior in college. I was born and raised in Illinois and have just been in Naples the last few years!
​
I have been caring for animals since I was a child as my family worked with an animal rescue organization. One of my first jobs was working as a kennel tech for a dog training company, so I am well-equipped to care for animals of all different temperaments. I have experience giving animals medications and can care for animals with special needs. I look forward to watching your pets while you are away!​

Meghan Wightman
Hello everyone, I’m Meghan! I have run an animal rescue for the last 11+ years as my volunteer work, saving and placing thousands of dogs and cats in homes. I enjoy running a non-profit and have learned so much along the way that it makes me very comfortable handling just about anything you need help with!
I can administer any kind of medication (oral, IV, injectable), and I am comfortable with any personality! I can perform nail trims, assist in taking your animals to the vet/appts, drop-ins, and some overnights. I have 2 college-age children, 2 dogs, and 5 cats of my own! I look forward to meeting you and your furpanions!

Paige Zwicker
Hello, my name is Paige!
​
I’ve always loved animals since I was little, more than humans at times. My family had the best most amazing dog, Haven, who passed away 9 years young. He truly was my best friend. I also had a little kitty, Spirit, who recently passed as well. She’s my little cuddle bug and loves all the attention she can get! Now I have an English Cream Golden named Finn and an adorable little Tabby named Phoebe.
​
I had the best pet sitter for my kitty while I was in school so I know how important it is to find a pet sitter you can trust and be at ease with when you are away. I strive to be that for you and make sure your pets are having just as much fun as you are! I promise to send tons of pictures and videos, and give them all the treats and cuddle sessions they desire.
​
I look forward to meeting you and I promise to treat your pets as if they were my own!

Blake Marshall
Hi I'm Blake! I am new to the area from California and I am super excited to start my life here in SWFL!
​
I have had a passion for animals and enjoyed working with them for as long as I can remember. While I lived in California, I was a full-time pet sitter and I could not wait to get started again in Florida. Along with animals, I have a passion for helping people. I love knowing that I can give owners peace of mind while they are away. While their pets lots are in my care, I will spoil them with lots of love and attention. It brings me so much joy to be able to make a difference and show pet parents how much fun their animals will have under my care!
​
I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Paul Whitlock
Hey there, I'm Paul! I am a humble, honest, kindhearted child of God, and I will treat you, your home, and your pets with the utmost respect. I've been around animals all my life. They give me such joy, and I will treat your pet as if it were my own. Whether it be walks, cuddles, or even massages, they will be treated like the king or queen they are!
​
In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, reading, and cooking. I'm a HUGE foodie, so feel free to utilize my skills if you would like to have a nice hot meal ready for when you return home! I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies soon!
