Pet care experience
Young Professional Works From Home
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!

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.
Ratings and reviews
Nicki did a wonderful job taking care of Olive while we were out of town. She was attentive, provided detailed updates/pictures, and went above and beyond in the care she provided. I highly recommend Nicki!
Great communication, availability, and professionalism. My pup loves spending time with her and she is so kind.
Nicki was amazing! Super responsive
Nicki goes above and beyond!! She’s great!!
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!
Nicki has been an amazing dog sitter for my dog Riley. Nicki was her foster mom before I adopted her and has been there any time I've needed a sitter. Riley loves to go play at her house with her other dogs. She's afraid of everyone but still loves going to Nikki's and feels right at home. I'd recommend her to anyone needing a responsible sitter that truly loves animals. I drive an hour round trip to take her to Nicki's because I know it's the only place Riley feels comfortable away from home and she always sends me lots of pictures while I'm away...and her pricing is very reasonable. Five out of Five stars for sure!

Schedule
Since I work from home when I don’t have an appointment, and have a very flexible schedule, I’m able to work with a customers schedule pretty well, too!
