Natural Care-Taker

Pet care experience

When I graduated college in 2017, I spent my summer and fall doing part-time jobs and dog-walking! It was an amazing decision, and I got to spend so much time with so many different amazing and lovable dogs. Then I worked full-time in an office for about four years, but still continued walking dogs on my lunch break and sitting when I could. Now I'm picking it back up since I've moved to Charleston! I've taken care of bulldogs, retrievers, shepherds, schnauzers, bichons, labs, and more (even goats once...) I have experience looking after older dogs with special health needs (and the need for some affection!) I love being able to get outside and get exercise with younger dogs as well. I'm always gentle and loving towards any animal. I follow instructions very carefully. I have common sense and a great mindset to handle emergencies calmly. So, thanks for your trust - and I look forward to meeting your loved one(s)!

Nikki was great with our two dogs. They immediately took to her. She was timely and very responsive. She kept us updated on everything and sent us pictures while we were gone. We will definitely use her again.

On time, took the pup for a nice long walk, locked everything up afterwards. Everything I could ask for!

Niki has been so good with my dog Luna. Luna is an anxious nervous dog but Niki really took the time out to let her warm up to her and was so gentle and kind to her. Communicates well and responds within reasonable time. I’m so sad Niki is moving and can no longer walk Luna and I know Luna will miss her too. If your looking for someone to love your dog as much as you Niki is definitely it.

Niki consistently walked my dogs daily during the week for over a year. She is consistent, reliable, friendly, and so easy to communicate with and work with! She also dog sat for me on several occasions, and again it was a great experience. She has a real talent with animals, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker, dog sitter, or both!

I love when instructions are detailed, so I don't have to bother you with questions! I want to do what is best for the animal that I'm taking care of, whether that's being crated at night or sleeping in bed with me, getting lots of exercise or taking it easy -- just let me know!

A typical day

I appreciate recommendations for where you like to walk your dogs! Every pet has different comfort levels in different environments. If you have a fenced-in yard and the weather is nice, I'm perfectly content to be outside all day throwing a ball around. I'm also happy to give snuggles as much as they're wanted :)
