Dog lover with years of experience!

Pet care experience

I am home for the summer and am very flexible and available. I have mornings and afternoons free until around 2 PM every day starting on May 6th, so I have a lot of time that I am able to spend with your dog! I have my own dog and have been helping friends and family members with their dogs for the last 10 years or so. Dogs are one of the best things in life and I enjoy spending as much time with them as I can. I have taken care of all types of dogs, including dogs with disabilities. I do not discriminate between any type of dog and am a lover of all shapes and sizes! I have taken care of dogs of all ages-- from puppies to senior dogs.

Niki watched my dogs last minute and saved me headache. She was very attentive and cared for my dogs. I would recommend her to anyone.

Niki and her sister were an answered prayer for us and Hershey. They lived close by and would check on Hershey 2-3 times a day. They played with him and spent extra time caring for him and taking him for walks. It was so much better than putting him in a dog kennel. They sent pictures of our happy Hershey and updates daily which put me at ease since this was the first time using Rover. I know Hershey will miss them. We will definitely be using Niki again. THANKS!!!

Niki was an excellent dog sitter for my family and I. We have 2 English mastiffs so they can be a bit of a handful. She came and met them before our time away to make sure she knew how we liked them to be handled and such. She really enjoyed being around dogs and treated them as if they were her own. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter!

Niki is a very attentive and enthusiastic woman. She has watched my 2 dogs several times and I am always extremely pleased with her services. She takes them out for exercise and feeds them and is very caring. She is very trustworthy and that is why I have always gone to her when I travel and I always will in the future!

Information Niki S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what the dog's daily routine is so that I can keep them happy! If there are any medications or specific things your dog needs I would like instructions on providing that. I am open to any breed of dog and have experience with many different breeds. My own dog is a wheaten terrier.

A typical day

I love to go on walks and hikes in local areas and would love to bring a dog along with me! I have a very large fenced in backyard that is perfect for a dog to play in. I am flexible to the dog's needs and owner's preferences!
