Hi there! I’ve had dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’ve personally raised and trained three of my own and love dogs of every breed, size, and personality. I’m confident giving commands, going on safe, controlled walks, and caring for pets in a way that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ve hosted dogs in my home as part of the family. They’re welcome on the couch, the bed, and anywhere they’d normally relax at home. If your dog is crate trained, that’s totally fine too! I’ve successfully trained using crates and will follow whatever routine helps your pup feel secure. Dogs are truly your best friend, always there to comfort you, make you smile, and love you unconditionally. They bring so much joy and deserve all the love and affection in return. That’s exactly how I care for every dog I meet. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, or an overnight stay, you can count on me to give your dog the same love and attention I give my own. 🐾
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I needed someone to drop in at the very last minute, and Nikie was able to do so. She was very accommodating and did well with my 3 dogs.
Nikie did a great job with our pup! We greatly appreciate her service for Simba!
Nikie took fantastic care of our cats while we were out of town. She was extremely professional and organized and left great messages with photos. I will absolutely request Nikie again!
Nikie is great with pets!! She has taken my dogs out for potty breaks and playtime and fed my cats when I have been out of town. She is dependable and I would recommend using her!
My dog Ethel had Nikie take care of her for four days. She was absolutely the best dog sitter we have ever had! Ethel absolutely loves her and the attention she paid to her. I definitely would hire her again and feel at ease. She also sent us pics of her while we were gone!
Nikie is truly the best! She makes each every pet feel like her own. She puts such special and intentional care to each pet during her time with them. Our dogs always loved when Nikie as they knew it was endless snuggles, love and sprinkles in treats and walks. She was our go to when we lived in Indiana and we wish she could have followed us out of state.

Schedule
I work part-time and have a solid routine in place for my own fur babies at home. Mornings usually start with a potty break or walk if needed, followed by breakfast and a quick house check to make sure everything’s safe and tidy before I head out. I often come home on my lunch breaks to let the dogs out again, and I’m usually home between 4 and 5 in the afternoon for another potty break, dinner, and some relaxing downtime together. I’m flexible with feeding and walk times and can easily adjust my schedule to make sure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I genuinely enjoy walks and love including them as part of my daily routine!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Since I have two dogs of my own, I don’t offer overnight house sitting away from my home, but I’m happy to do drop-in visits and spend quality time with your pets while you’re away. I can come by for walks, playtime with their favorite toy or ball, or even practice basic commands using training treats or a clicker. I can also host them at my house for a stay! When your dog stays with me, they’ll be treated just like family, loved, cared for, and included in daily life. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for running and playing. I do my best to follow the same routines and training methods you use at home, so your pet feels comfortable and confident while in my care. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and sense of routine always come first!

A typical day
I am up for just about anything with your pet. Just need some cuddles, I got you. Need a walk, I can do that! Want to play tug of war or fetch, great let's do it! Just a food bowl fill and water change, i can do that too.
