Safety, trust & environment

I have a large acre fenced in yard, with a smaller fenced in yard within the larger yard. This yard is a turf yard, allowing the dogs to stay clean and they have a double fence, keeping them extra safe. They are all very obedient and thrive off of structure and routine. They are let out 5-6 times a day and get one 2 mile walk a day and fed twice a day. Their bowls are cleaned daily & their water is refreshed multiple times a day. Their linens (dog beds, blankets, plush toys) get washed weekly.

Information Nicki S. would like to know about your pet

I absolutely love special needs cases, as I often foster medical dogs, parvo puppies, feral or timid dogs, and I own a deaf dog and a blind dog. So please let me know if you have any special needs :)

A typical day

I absolutely love taking dogs on walks, getting exercise, and working through mental stimulation with either spending time with puzzles indoors or outdoor play. Rain or shine, we will have so much fun!

Pet care experience

I started my own neighborhood dog walking job at the age of 14 up until I graduated college. I took care and became very close with over 9 different neighborhood families pets. Most of the clients were ones who left for family vacations so I took care of them for long periods of times. I currently have six dogs: — Mali, Husky Mix, FS, 11 yrs — Rhone, St. Bernard, FS, 11 yrs, DEAF — Tanner, Red Golden, MN, 7 yrs — Teddy, White Golden, MN, 7 yrs — Tucker, Yellow Golden, MN, 7 yrs — Topper, Golden Corgi Mix, MN, 6 yrs — Ramen, Golden Bernese Mix, MN, 9 yrs — Kenny, Spaniel Mix, MN, 2 yrs — Henry, Chow Shepherd X, MN, 2yrs, BLIND — Tammy, DSH, FS, 2yrs I ran a local dog rescue (Eunoia Rescue) for 5 years and recently resigned to focus on my career. I have fostered over 60+ dogs in my home, ranging from one week old puppies to seniors with disability. In addition to running a rescue, I have also worked for a Dog Day Care for 3 years and a Veterinarian Clinic for 2 years, so I have a large amount of experience with animal care. I now work from home, besides having sporadic appointments with clients, so I have a pretty open availability. I am responsible, super outgoing, very clean, young professional who absolutely love dogs & animals and enjoy making them happy!

Nicki has watched our dog, Otis, twice now in the past few months. The drop off/pickup process was so easy and she was extremely communicative. We loved receiving multiple updates and photos of Otis throughout the day, and it gave us a lot of peace of mind, especially when we were out of the country. I loved that Otis got a lot of socialization and interaction with other dogs and that she would take him on long walks, both things he loves. I would recommend Nicki for anyone needing a responsible and caring sitter!
