Highlights
Pet care experience
In love with loving your pets
Back at home I worked at a pet resort called bark n town where we spend a Lot of time doing activities with dogs and walking them. Sometimes we will get up to 50 dogs boarding with us and it is definitely a lot of work. At night we also do sit ins, making sure they are calm when it’s time for bed. I’m very passionate, dedicated and love all animals. I’ve worked in animal vet clinics, an volunteered at some shelters before. I’m educated in animal behavior so knowing when to and when not to approach a dog is clear to me. I’ve worked with all types of dogs. I have spent the last 5 years working at a dog day care facility and now I know more dogs by name than I do people in the Saint Louis area. I have recently left my position as Manager of The watering bowl, a dog daycare/ boarding facility, due to change in ownership and the changes in policy that was planned that I could not agree with. I am now dedicating my time working for myself and taking excellent care of your pets.

Ratings and reviews
Niara is wonderful! We have hired her several times to care for our 2 pups and we always feel very confident that they are having a great time. She is very responsive, on time and great at sending updates and cute pictures! Already feel so relieved that she has agreed to help us for our summer vacation!
Niara was excellent with our dogs and cats. All are rescues and some came with trauma from their past. Niara knew how to approach them and has a calming demeanor which is exactly what they need, and she acclimated to the daily routine seamlessly. We have an elderly kitty who is on daily meds and is skittish around strangers, but Niara was persistent in tracking him down when needed and gave him some extra TLC. We were gone 12 days and Niara handled everything. She engaged well with our babies, even the skittish ones. She sent pics and videos daily. We were able to relax knowing our babies were in good hands. We've already booked her for future trips.
Niara surpassed our expectations! We were both very worried about how Sammie would be while we were gone. We have never left her this long (three weeks) and not with someone she barely knew. We’ve been home now for 24 hours and can tell she misses her new friend. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with her stay!!!
Niara is amazing! She always sends morning updates and pictures throughout the day of both our pups! Not only does she stay over to keep the puppies company, but she is very engaged and plays and takes them on nice walks in the neighborhood. We have hired her now three times now- she is very responsive and is just amazing all around! We are so lucky to have found her!!!
Niara did such a great job with watching our 4 month old puppy. It was the first time we left her with someone other than family and she made the process so easy and even sent videos. Highly recommend and will book again. Plus our puppy loves her too!
After severe weather hit my area and knocked the power out at my place, Niara relocated him to another family members house to stay with him the rest of the weekend. My dog loves Niara and she treats him as she would her own pet. Highly recommend her services and I will continue to rebook with her any time I go out of town.
