Safety, trust & environment

I have no pets at my house. Although, when I would be in charge of your pet I will be very responsible. I have plenty of experience walking dogs in the past. I will be certain that their collar/harness is on correctly and have them on a leash at all times outside. Volunteering at the shelter required all of us to leash the dog properly before exiting the building. Some of the dogs would be very excited, distracted, or hyper. I am confident in my experience and abilities to create a safe environment and give them the best care!

I’ll take great care of your dog!

Pet care experience

I’ve always loved all kinds of animals! I’ve had a dog of my own, Lucy, for 13 years during my childhood. I’ve taken care of dogs for family members that included taking them on walks, feeding them, and enrichment. Last year, I volunteered at my local animal shelter and gained more experience on animal welfare. I am kind, patient, and very attentive.

I highly recommend Nikki for any dog walking/doggy care. She provides timely updates, is super responsive to texts asking for updates and photos and videos. Somehow your dog will look at you like "why are you here?" when you show up to pick your special baby up

My dog, Beau, is not a fan of everyone and is skiddish because he is blind, but he barks with excitement when he hears nikki is coming to walk him. She is so patient and loving with little beau. She walks him in his stroller and sometimes takes him out to smell the grass, and sends us so many photos of him learning to trust the outside world again. We love nikki and wouldn’t choose anyone else to take care of my little Beau!

Nikki was so sweet with my dog, Chloe. She took such good care of Chloe and sent me photos of her on walks and snuggling while I was away. I would definitely recommend Nikki to watch anyone's pups!

Nicole always takes good care of my mini golden doodle and my poodle. My dogs were happy, relaxed and very well care. It’s clear how much she love animals and make good connection with them. It gives me peace of mind that my dogs are in such a good hands.
