Loving and Trustworthly Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I've been around animals my whole life, from owning pigs, chickens to dogs and cats. I have experience sitting and dog walking for friends and family all the way to training pups to be a potty train. As for my life outside of pet sitting, I am a full-time artist mainly working from home. I love to go hiking, cooking, traveling, photography, and working out. I truly enjoy the company of pets, and I look forward to providing you peace of mind and the utmost care for you and your four-legged family members.

My dog Daisy loves Nikayla and her dog Justin, and I loved that Nikayla took such great care of her while we were gone! Nikayla lives in my neighborhood and I was so excited to see that she was a Rover.com sitter, because we had already met and my dog already knew her dogs. She sent pictures and kept us updated on how the stay was going. I look forward to booking again with Nikayla. It's a great feeling to know someone who will take such great care of my dog!

Nikayla was great! I was nervous leaving my puppy with a stranger but I think it was good for her. My miniature poodle mix is a bit shy around new dogs and we have been working on some separation anxiety since our recent move. Nikayla was very accommodating and sent frequent updates including photos and a video throughout the day. Will definitely book her again if I need to find daycare.

Nikayala (and her dog, Justin) was amazing! Nikayala has been very friendly and responsive the entire time during the boarding time. She sent a lot of pictures and constantly shares what my dog is up to, how she is eating/sleeping, etc. and made me feel comfortable! I will 1,000% rebook her again for my next trip.

My dog Diego just LOVES Nikayla! She is awesome with animals and a great person to have around them. She follows instructions and is attentive to my dog's needs. I would recommend her to any dog lover that cares about their family member.

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a .28 acre land and it's fully fenced in, with grass and dog toys all over the place so my pups stay occupied. I live 10 min away from Marymorre dog park and they are many trails to walk. I play fetch with both pups regularly and have lots of belly scratches in between.

Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Information Nikayla R. would like to know about your pet

The info I think is most important to know is how good your dogs are with smaller ones, Our pups Justin(great Pyrenees poodle) has been trained heavily on respecting Britney (pomeranian) size and boundaries and I would like dogs who do the same.

A typical day

On a regular day, the first thing we do is let the dogs out, run play and get ready for the day, and then get fed. Since the yard is fully fences we let the dogs out and let them run around till their heart's content. Noon we do another food break and have a walk or go to Marymoor. Dinner is around 6 and that's when the dogs start slowing down and want belly-rubs and rest.
