Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets will be loved and treated like family every visit. I have an open apartment for them to run around and be themselves. I’ve housed a cat and 4 dogs at the same time (with their owners permission and being mindful of compatibilities) due to my minimalistic living atmosphere. My apartment is alarmed by Ring and I have a camera to monitor when they are unattended. My apartment complex has a small lawn in the front, this where they will frequent to for potty time and/or stretch their paws for a brief moment. For walks, I stay local to the Beltline, Piedmont park and Central Park.

Dog Walking • Jun 03, 2023

My dog can be shy and skittish when meeting new people and walking, so I was nervous to hire a dog walker. Nikima has done a fantastic job and I am so satisfied. I will continue to hire her.

Nikima was the best doggy sitter! She made sure to always update me everything and send pictures of my fur babies. I could enjoy being away knowing that my dogs were being taken care of. Would recommend her to anyone!

Schedule

I do work as well as dog sit but with assistance, if by chance I have to step out, they will be unattended for no longer than 3 hours max. From blind and elder dogs to energetic puppies, I cater and adhere to all needs and requests. To maximum your reservation and get your fur baby(babies) settled, I do prefer early morning drop offs if that is convenient for the owner. I am able to do local pick ups as well if available for a small fee. Walks and playtime are scheduled catering to the pet(s) feeding times, potty times and energy. I typically walk 3 times a day and the distance varies by the pet’s comfort. Playtime and “pawtytime”( your pets deserve Me time too) fits in between walks.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Nikima can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please inform me of any special care I need to adhere to. I prefer early morning drop offs to maximum the reservation. I have no preference of pets as I love them all.
