About: Ive taken care of dogs every size. teaching new tricks, going on walks, and ice cream is something I enjoy doing with a fur baby I currently work full time night shift. I work 12 hrs shifts so my other 4 days during the week are open to helping other animal lovers with their babies. Because without the help I receive on my work days I would b very stressed. I have an unfunded yard but I love going on walks. Me and my dog ( henny) are always going hiking, fishing, to the dog park, or just out for a car ride. Henny loves all dogs and has lots of energy to play.
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)!

About: I have taken care of a reactive dog for 2 years and have been dog sitting since age 12. I have loved every minute of it and cannot wait for more opportunities to do so! I work from home 7am-3pm every day. My house is spacious and comfortable. Working from home every day allows me to have free time to let the special pup I luckily get to watch out into the yard to play and give them the attention they need whenever they need it. I have all the necessities for pet care at my own home such as a bissell pet vacuum for messes, dog bowls, a sand box for digging, treats… etc. I have a large yard and a deck behind the house so they can have ample outdoor time.

About: I have had pets my entire life! My family adopted a Terrier-Maltese mix from the Central PA Human society when I was in elementary school and we also had a lab growing up. Currently my wife and I have three Yorkies and a cat. We also used to foster Yorkies through “Save a Yorkie” rescue where we ended up adopting one of our pups! I typically travel for my full-time job on Mondays and Tuesdays, although I typically have mornings and evenings available. I am almost always in the area for the remainder of the week. When dog sitting for friends I always try to spend as much time with their pups as possible so that they are not lonely. I enjoy playing with and walking dogs the most!
