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)!

“Sara was amazing with all of our pets. We have 2 dogs and a cat which are very picky but they took to her right away! She did everything we asked and then some. I must admit I was a bit skeptical about this process at first but after meeting Sara, It was so great to know we had a trustworthy person staying in our house for 10 days. She sent us pictures and videos every day. She even washed the towels and ran the dishwasher! We will for sure be using Sara to babysit our beloved animals again...they missed her when she left!!!”

Brittany W.
“Brittany did a great job watching over my Havanese over the Thanksgiving weekend. I appreciated the photos she sent and would have enjoyed more. I would request Brittany again! ?”
Nicole K.
“I have a 5 year old Bernese Mountain Dog named Dakota. She is approximately 110 pounds and every well trained. Nicole (we call her Nikki) has been to my house when home from University for about a year and has been always exceptional with Dakota. She calls for her to come and lay beside her and pets her - she plays with her in the yard - and takes her for walks around the plan. I believe that Nikki is more than acceptable to become a dog sitter and a loving dog caregiver. She has proved to be responsible - intelligent - and well suited for this position. You are making a good decision.”
