Boutique Dog Boarding in Sammamish 🐾 Exclusive 1-on-1 Care, Spacious Home & Fenced Yard Hi! I’m Nikki. I host just 1–2 dogs at a time so every pup gets undivided attention, a calm routine, and real one-on-one care, so will never be a crowded sitter situation. Your dog is treated like family the whole stay. We’re in a spacious multi-bedroom home in Sammamish with a fully fenced backyard for safe running and play. We share it with our gentle 10-year-old Newfypoo/Doodle, Zoe who is social, easygoing, and great at helping visiting dogs settle in. We’re a dogs-on-the-couch household, so smugglers feel right at home. New to Rover? Use promo code NIKHIB07261 for $20 off your first booking. Why limited spots? Capping at 1–2 dogs lets me give personalized, attentive care: frequent potty breaks, play matched to your dog’s energy, and a stay tailored to their routine so that it is not a one-size-fits-all setup. What your dog can expect • Lots of space, comfy spots, and a secure yard • Multiple potty breaks, play, and affection throughout the day • Diet & routines followed exactly- the food, portions, schedule, and treats • Medication & special-needs experience (vitamins, antibiotics, oral meds); patient, gentle, and careful with vet/owner instructions Add-on grooming (shower, hair brushing, teeth brushing) available for an extra charge. Communication & updates 📸 Prompt replies, honest updates, and photo check-ins throughout the day so you can relax while you’re away. A note on alone time I’m home most of the day, stepping out only 2–3 hours max for errands. I’m a great fit for dogs comfortable alone for short windows, but not for dogs with severe separation anxiety who can’t be left even briefly. Before booking I’m happy to do a meet & greet to confirm we both are a good fit to each other, talk through routines and medical needs, and answer your questions.

Safety, trust & environment
At home, dogs stay in our spacious 5-bedroom house with access to a fully fenced backyard and my friendly Newfiepoo, Zoe. I supervise closely, follow your rules, and can crate if requested. I’m experienced with medications and special needs, and always keep water fresh, spaces clean, and doors securely closed.
Ratings and reviews
My dog Archie had a wonderful time with Nikhila and her dog, Zoe! He was clearly well cared for, happy, and had a great time throughout his stay. Nikhila was also very flexible with our schedule and kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos, which made missing him a little easier. Archie loved his stay so much that he almost didn't want to come back! We'd be happy to leave him with her again.
Nikki took great care of our dog Beam. Everything went smoothly, and we felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She sent us photos and videos, which we really appreciated. Her dog Zoe is calm and friendly, and it was lovely to see them playing together. Beam seemed happy and well cared for the whole time.
Nikhila is awesome !! She is truly a dog lover. Super sweet & caring. My dog Maui had a great week with her. Came back home like a pampered pup. I am sure my dog is secretly praying for our next trip soon so he can fun with Nikki & Zoe.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Nikhila and couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the beginning, it was clear how attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely caring she is with animals. She went above and beyond to make sure our dog felt comfortable and loved, really taking the time to understand his specific needs, routines and preferences. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was getting such personalized attention. She sent plenty of pictures and videos that showed just how happy and relaxed he was. It made being away so much easier and reassured us that he was in the best hands. We highly recommend Nikhila to anyone looking for exceptional pet care, and we would definitely trust her with our dog again in the future.
We left our dog Apollo with Nikhila and couldn't be happier with the experience. She was warm, communicative, and clearly passionate about caring for dogs. Apollo came home happy and relaxed, which says everything. We'll definitely be booking with Nikhila again!
Kind and communicative dog-loving family. Will MOST DEFINITELY reach out to her again for our future boarding needs. Thank you so much!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
My husband or I mostly home during the day, so dogs get lots of company, play, and potty breaks. I may step out for 1-2 hours for errands, but never longer. Because of this, I’m not a good fit for dogs with severe separation anxiety who can’t be left alone even briefly for few minutes.

- 1) What is their energy level? 2) Are they aggressive? 3) Are they potty trained? 4) How do they do with other dogs? 5) Do they have specific dietary restrictions/food allergies or other care instructions that I should be aware of? 6) Do you have any deal breaker conditions? 7) Any medical conditions? 8) Any separation anxiety? I would like to know about your dog's likes and dislikes. I want to make sure we are doing activities that they love! I also want to know about any behavior traits, like aggression or shyness. Also, I'd like to know about their medical history. Any special needs (medication, diet, injuries) or restrictions (doesn't do well with kids/other dogs, afraid of storms, etc). I'd also like to know their chewing, exercise, play, and sleeping habits. ***Please let me know about any aggressive tendencies up front. This will help me know what level of interaction with other dogs and/or children is appropriate.
