Take a Trip! I got this!

Pet care experience

I am a 43 year old pet lover living in Vernon, CT. I have been a dog owner all of my life. In July 2018, my beloved Oreo passed away at the golden age of 17 1/2. I work from home so I would be home with your pets in their environment all day. We go for walks daily and have play time. Depending on what your pet enjoys, I will do our best to entertain them. My preference is to watch small dogs. But if you have older or calmer medium or large dog, it might be a good fit. :-) I do not have the room for a giant sized dog. I have had 3 dogs in my adult life all living long healthy lives in my care, so I have experience with all ages of doggies. I have been watching my friends' pets for years, so this option seemed like a natural fit. If you think we would be a good fit, lets meet up! I would love the opportunity to love on your fur-babies while you are away. I have completed an online course in Animal Psychology, Animal Training and Pet Sitting and Senior Dog/Cat care. My condo has a crumbling foundation and I am extremely willing to housesit from anytime from May-September anywhere in CT and the surrounding area! Stays over a holiday (New Year's Day, MLK Day, President's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) may incur a $5 increase in fee for the holiday and the day before and after depending on the length of the stay.

Niki was great! Colby stayed with her and Oreo for a week. When he returned home he was happy and calm. He showed no signs of anxiety, which we were concerned with. He is 12 and likes a low key house where other dogs aren't always bugging him. Niki kept us posted and always responded promptly. She also is flexible with changes in pick up and drop off times. We will without a doubt book future stays with Niki.

My dog Maggie has been cared for by Niki twice now. Maggie is 17 years old and had not been left with anyone before. Niki let me know how Maggie was doing with messages and pictures, which put me at ease during my time away. When I picked Maggie up she was relaxed and happy. I highly recommend Niki and I am planning two additional stays.

Niki is the best! We can leave our Penny without worry, get frequent updates and come home, knowing that Penny has had a stress-free time.
