I currently work from home full-time, so I’m typically home. Looking for a co-worker to keep me company! 🐾 Nice to have a break in the day to take a walk around the neighborhood.

I can’t say enough great things about Niki! From the very beginning, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly caring. She made sure to keep me updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Most importantly, it was clear that my dog was well cared for, loved, and treated like family. When I got back, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves dogs and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Niki. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Niki clearly loves dogs and was very patient with our shy dog who eventually warmed up to her for a drop in visit. She was also considerate of my mother-in-law who was visiting at the time. Top notch trustworthy service! Thank you Niki!

It doesn’t get any better than Niki! When we needed to go out of town for an extended weekend we were nervous about who would watch our dog. Our dog is getting older and also has some specific health issues that require close monitoring and regular medication. Niki was incredibly attentive! She gave us regular updates (and adorable pictures too!) and helped to put our minds at ease that our dog was receiving the best care while we were away.

Nikki took great care of my dog, Ginger. She wakes her every day and stuck to our routine. Nikki also sent lots of pictures and videos every day which I loved! She also involved her daughter who was a great sitter too! Ginger got lots of love and attention in a safe environment.
