Dana (Nikki) was our baby-sitter while mom and dad travelled (abandoned us...). At first, we were a bit skeptical because, how dare mom and dad leave us?! Especially since we’re so precious and adorable! Nikki came over to visit us all a couple of times before our parents left, so mom and dad could show her the ropes (mostly because mom is a big ball of stress), which gave us the chance to sniff and get to know her a bit. So by the time she came over for the real thing, we were already a bit familiar with her. She served us breakfast, lunch, and dinner, always left us with fresh water, cleaned our bathrooms, played with us, cuddled us - all of the things! Nikki became a fast friend in no time! I guess it helped that she LOVES animals, we can sense that kind of thing you know! Thank you for taking purrr-fect care of us, we miss you and can’t wait to see you again! 😻 With lots of love, Ronan, Lentil, Brea, Flint & Penny

Where to start? Dana (Nikki) is so much more than a pet-sitter…she was the ultimate stand-in parent to our five four-legged babies. It’s not easy to find the words to express just how grateful we are to Nikki, or to try to summarize that appreciation into a simple review. But from the very start, already by the end of our first meeting, Nikki made us feel beyond comfortable. As a couple who rarely leaves our kitties for longer periods, we had a lot of anxiety around the thought of leaving them behind. That stress and anxiety quickly dissipated and we were able to truly relax and enjoy ourselves during our time abroad, all thanks to Nikki. ♥️ Nikki sent us the sweetest photos and updates daily. She went above and beyond, every shift, every day. We couldn’t recommend her more!

Dog Walking • Jan 22, 2026

Dana (Nikki) is very enthusiastic, communicates clearly, and is knowledgeable about force-free handling methods, which is especially important for our sensitive little fluffball of chaos. Nova is thrilled to have a new friend and she is looking forward to spending more time together.

Boarding • Dec 27, 2025

We were very happy with our recent boarding experience with Dana. She took wonderful care of our two dogs for three nights. From the very beginning, she was warm, welcoming, and friendly, and she quickly bonded with both dogs during our first meeting. She sent regular photos and updates and was always quick to respond to our questions. We would highly recommend Dana and her family.
