Hi I currently work from home and have a lot of free time on my hands. I have watched over 100 pets with 5 years on Rover. I'm very flexible to accommodate you and your pet in any way. Feel free to reach out if there are any last-minute emergencies. I can come over to pick up and drop off as well. I prefer long stays and will be willing to give a discount for boarding longer than 5 days.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 02, 2024

Within a short time of knowing and using Niki’s services, she has proven to be incredibly reliable and genuinely caring for my Charlie, a 4-year-old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix. One time, my original sitter canceled, and on another occasion, I had to rush to attend to an urgent personal matter. Niki left the gym and picked up Charlie from my house so I could leave on time. I cannot thank her enough for her dedication. Niki is also very communicative, sending pictures and videos throughout the day. When Charlie had a hard time adjusting to daycare life, she took the time to research remedies to make him comfortable. It's clear that Niki always goes above and beyond to ensure Charlie has a fun and comfortable experience. I highly recommend Niki for any dog parent looking for top-notch care!

Niki was an amazing sitter!! We left our dog Riley there for a night, and we got several updates and photos. Riley had an awesome time and was so sleepy after we picked her up. Niki was really responsive, and we would highly recommend her. Would love to use her as a sitter when we're in the area next!

Boarding • Jun 04, 2019

My dogs and my family are very happy with Niki's boarding services. We have two senior dogs (ages 14, 9) in need of a lot of attention and care. After picking them up, they seemed happy and well-rested. We'll definitely use her services again for the following reasons: 1. Boarding at a home setting with warm, friendly, dog-loving family: our dogs used to stay at a commercial dog boarding place with many other dogs, and they always came back too exhausted (my older one would sleep straight for days just to recuperate) But, with Niki, it was as if they never left home! 2. Flexible hours with no late pick up charges 3. Pick-up/Drop-off services at a very nominal reasonable fee 4. Dogs to human ratio is great :) her whole family pitched in so our dogs felt like they were part of a family the whole time 5. Great communication: she responds to text msgs almost right away! She also sends photos and updates throughout the day 6. Loyalty to existing customers: during upcoming busy summer times, she checks with you first in advance (before booking new customers) FIVE stars!

I usually take them out for walks 3 - 4 times a day and take them to the dog park if I have time. I usually send pictures and updates to check in with you with their progress.

I would love to know how many potty breaks your dog usually needs or if it uses pads. I also like to know how to prepare food for your pet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
