Pet care experience
I currently attend college at the University of Texas at Austin and am looking for a fun way to gain more experience caring for furry friends. I am considering veterinary medicine as a career option for me, so throughout my education I have learned a lot. In my high school days I used to spend my time volunteering and fostering for Mutts and Meows and Noah's Ark Bayou Sanctuary Animal Rescue, which are both partnered with Petsmart. In college I shadowed a veterinary professional, volunteered at the ASPCA in Gainesville, Florida, and volunteered at Operation Catnip (a high volume spay/neuter clinic for cats). I prioritize caring for dogs, especially when they are not my own! I understand that long time dog sitting can be a stressful change for some dogs so I take it upon myself to make sure I am doing everything possible to make the dog's stay a comfortable one! I love going on walks and runs and am willing to go on many walks in one day. I have a medium sized backyard so it will be easy for me to take them on frequent potty breaks. I have a friendly 25lb Pekingese/Chihuahua mix of my own who loves to sleep and play. Raising a pup of my own and fostering many shelter puppies and adult dogs has showed me that every dog is different and requires unique care. I can administer oral meds and can give baths. I also know how to handle dogs that are scared or upset. Responsibility is important to me so I will be easy to get into touch with!
Reviews
Niki was great! This was my first time using Rover and we loved her! She sent multiple pictures a day and our dog was treated like a queen. Our dog was given plenty of exercise and love each day. I felt comfortable knowing Santana was in great hands and would definitely use her again!
Niki was absolutely amazing. This was my first time using Rover and I couldn't be more pleased. Niki treated Sugar as her own and was fantastic about updates and pictures through her stay. I wouldn't hesitate a second about using Niki again. Thank you!
Niki is great with pets! She has shadowed with me in an animal hospital. She knows how to handle animals and is a responsible person. She is capable of boarding dogs and walking them. She knows a lot about animals.
Niki is the best dog sitter I know! She's really patient with each dog, and her love of animals shines through with every dog she meets. She follows care instructions to a T and does everything she can to make her dogs comfortable and happy. I know that I can trust her wholeheartedly with my fur baby!

Information Niki G. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, I love all dogs! I would like to know how energetic your pup is, and whether they are trained to walk on a leash. Furthermore I would like to know their potty schedule so I know exactly how often to take them out. If there is anything specific about your dog's care please feel free to tell me!
A typical day
My neighborhood offers beautiful paved walking trails that are always fun to explore. There are many pet-friendly parks that I love to visit like Stevenson Park, Challenger Park, or Lake Friendswood Park. Not to mention many neighborhood parks and recreation centers that my dogs love.
