I am currently a grad student at MBU and have a light course-work load this summer. I want to increase my physical activity, and what better way to do it than walk and play with someone's pet? It is the perfect opportunity for me to exercise, and for your pets to get the care, exercise, and socialization that is so important for their lives.

Pet care experience

I have lived with dogs my whole life and was known as the neighborhood animal sitter/walker growing up. I am comfortable around any sized animal and will give them all the love they need. I am passionate about the importance of exercise for both humans and animals, and would love to help and be the reason they get some activity in and are able to stretch their legs when you may be stuck at work, or on vacation! I love any and all animals and want to share that love with your furry friends, because every animal deserves as much love as they can get.

Nicki did an absolutely amazing job with my new puppy! She was patient, kind, and Millie loved her! She checked on her a couple of times throughout the day and helped let her outside, fed her and played with her!

I can't recommend Nicole enough. She is truly wonderful with dogs, and my pup absolutely adores her. Every time she comes by, my dog lights up and can’t wait to play with her. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is not only well cared for but genuinely happy and excited to spend time with her. If you’re looking for someone kind, reliable, and amazing with dogs, she’s the one.
