I am a HUGE animal lover & advocate

Pet care experience

I have always been an animal lover, rescuing and caring for strays started at a young age for me. Prior to living in NY, I was in South Carolina where my first job as a teenager was in a kennel for boarding. Along the way I met many people that became personal friends and I began house sitting or keeping pets while their owners were away. I have cared for up to 8 dogs in one household and loved every minute of it. I have experience with newborn puppies, and birthing, caring for the mother while pregnant and after birth and just about every other age range up to seniors. I am able to administer oral medications as well as insulin shots and similar medications with ease. In my own home I have a *disabled* husky 2 years old who loves to play and has a ton of energy so we go on regulat walks and trips to the park. My husky only has 3 paws but it doesnt slow him down at all. I have two senior chihuahuas, one of which is blind and i have set up proper bumbers and gates to keep him on track and safe. I am no stranger to dogs that require a bit of extra work, animals bring happiness to my life and I love being able to help where help is needed. (Rates are per animal and for house sitting per animal per night.)

Niki has been great with my dogs. She treats them as if they were part of her own pack. My dogs go crazy when she shows up, and she always comes prepared for their walks with a little snack for each of my big guys. Niki has also been able to accommodate my crazy schedule so my babies aren't left alone too long and she really does work with me when things get a little hairy...I've called her on short notice more than once when I couldn't get out of work on time and she was able to get my guys out for their potty break no problems.

Niki is able to care for my dogs in a way that leaves me knowing they are in good hands. She takes any stresses in stride and just keeps going. I have some difficult dachshunds as well as a lab, 5 dogs total, and they flock to Niki when she shows up for their walks. She is not the first sitter I've used but now that I have her I hope she sticks around, my dogs truly love her and you can see how much she cares for them. On another note she has been the only one able to give my lab her oral medications without being harassed or bitten.
