med student & puppy/cat enthusiast

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Niki; and I am a fourth year medical student. I am back at home until graduation, with an ample amount of time to play with your dog! I am able to pet sit your dog/cat and ensure they receive undivided attention. I have been dog walking and dog/ cat sitting for six years, and have worked with dogs of all shapes and ages (including many, many puppies!). I am very outgoing and love to take the dogs I sit on long runs :). I am known to be very flexible in terms of scheduling, and can often take on emergency cases the day of. I also work with each dog and owner at the individual bases and on their needs, and tailor my walks and schedule with them that way. I am very punctual and typically on a routine basis. However, I am able to tailor to your dog's needs :). Often, I find myself staying longer to play and bond with the dog we are visiting. -Niki

Niki was wonderful! She was super responsive with booking and questions I had while I was away sending updates and photos. Stoney liked her right away and I came back to home to a very calm and happy dog. Would certainly recommend her to anyone looking for an overnight dog sitter :)

Niki was great! Very communicative, responsive, and she sent photos and updates. My pup seemed very happy and calm when I got home. Will absolutely book Niki again!

Niki had been an absolute life savor for me and my fur babies! We are the midst of a move, and we have demanding jobs. My pups are my babies and she has helped us keep them happy, healthy and safe! She is very flexibly, responsive, and easy to work with! She cares for our home too. I am so very grateful for her and highly recommend her for dog care & housesitting.

She let my dog pee everywhere and barely cleaned it up. My instructions were extremely clear to not leave the pup alone and she did. Niki was dishonest and said she left my house and had let me dog out to use the restroom but she wasn’t gone for just 15 minutes, after reviewing my camera she was gone for 4 hours! Completely unacceptable. I gave her a 30 credit to use for Uber eats as she forgot her dinner and I gravely regret it. Came back to a messy bed, stinky floors and a neglected puppy.

Information Niki N. would like to know about your pet

I have a lot of experience in puppy sitting and training puppies! I've gotten a lot of puppy requests over the years and always have fun playing with them and their energy. I try to potty train them early on, but of course, I understand the occasional accidents. :)

A typical day

We can walk to many dog parks/ play fetch, lounge around and play tug-o-war in my living room. My sister also lives w me and loves the puppies/dogs I watch.
