Your dog’s new best friend!

Pet care experience

I’m a full-time assistant principal who lives alone. Unfortunately, that means I do not have a dog of my own. That’s where your pet comes in! I have owned and cared for many dogs in the past and currently for friends and family. Chihuahuas, mutts, boxers, labs, pit bulls, Rottweilers, all breeds are welcome! I do live in an apartment, but there is a small dog park area. I also live close to greenways and other areas for long walks and exercise. Napping on couches and beds is strongly encouraged!

Nikel has watched our pups multiple times and always treats them like her own! She makes sure they are loved and super happy even when we aren’t at home with them. Can’t recommend Nikèl enough!

Nikel has watched our pups multiple times and has always done an amazing job! The love and care she shows them makes them feel comfortable even while we travel. You can see how excited they get when she walks in. Your pups are in excellent hands with Nikel!

Nikel is the best pet sitter! While she’s new to Rover, she’s stayed with our dog a lot and always keeps him happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Very trustworthy and communicative whenever she’s with our dog. Couldn’t recommend more!

I trust Nikel fully with dog/ house sitting. I know our dogs feel comfy and at ease under her care! She is always prompt, sends updates, and leaves everything clean and in order. Our dogs love her and it’s so nice to go on vacation and not worry about them!

Safety, trust & environment

I have no other pets in the home, and I can easily crate your dog if that’s what you require. My apartment complex is small and quiet and there are no breed restrictions. I treat the dogs I care for like I would my own, so they get lots of attention and cuddles.

Information Nikel B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any particular needs or preferences. I want to make sure they are as comfortable as possible while they’re in my care.

A typical day

I just want to make sure your dog feels at home! We’ll go for walks, play if they want to, cuddle if they want to. I don’t typically take dogs to the dog park or anything because you never know how someone else’s dog will react, but if you have a place you go to regularly and trust, I’ll be more than happy to take them.
