I currently work in downtown Lakeland, 9am-4:30pm, M-F. My job is flexible, therefore, I am able to check on your animals during my lunch break and I am able to work remotely on some days, so I could potentially be with your animal all day. My weekends are free, outside of a few basic errands.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not care for animals in my home, as I am unable to because I am renting. However, when I am in someone else’s home, I make sure to follow any and all instructions left to me by the owners. If your animal needs any sort of medication, I prefer you leave me written instructions.

Information Nikayla G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the dogs likes and dislikes. Also, whether it is okay to give them treats or not. Lastly, if your dog is still in training, any rules I need to make sure they follow.

A typical day

I love to play with animals and keep them physically active! I could take them to any local dog parks or just play around the house, if they have toys.

Pet care experience

My name is Nikayla G., Nikki for short, and I am great with dogs. As a child, the first way I ever made my own money was by walking dogs in my neighborhood and even overnight dog sitting for a teacher at my school. I know dogs need nice long walks and a lot of play time which I am very able to provide. I will care for your dog like he/she were my own and I’ll care for any other pets you may have. I’m very patient and attentive, for any one who may have a brand new puppy that is still being potty trained. If you choose me to be your dog sitter/walker, I will do all I can to make your dog happy.

Nikayla was great! Our pets were well cared for and our house was just as we left it! She was a great communicator and we will definitely work with her again!

Great sitter! I’ve worked with Nikayla a few times now and she’s been great! I do not worry about the safety or well being of my pups when she’s taking care of them! I will continue to book with Nikayla! She’s great!

Nikayla is awesome with pets and is a responsible young lady. She has spent time with my 2 German Shepherd’s and is a natural around them. You will not regret trusting your pets with her.
