Pet care experience

In need of someone to care for your fur baby(babies)… I’m your dog sitter! I love animals, I will treat them like my own Gizmo( Bullmastiff mix); the complete experience opposite of a kennel!

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 amazing! She gave my fur baby all the love he needed while I was away! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!!

Literally best person I used. So sad that we can’t use her anymore. Great with training and playing around with the pup. Helped so much!!

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.

Information Nikima S. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I do allow pets on my furniture so the day probably starts with them waking up on my bed. Depending on their normal routine, this will be their first time eating taking medicine if need be but definitely going out to potty and get some fresh air. If the pet is pretty active around this time would be a short walk through Central Park. Going into the afternoon after the pet has had free time to themselves we’d engage in games or a long walk along the Beltline or to the dog park at Piedmont park. If it’s ok with the owner the pets get rewarded with treats or my favorite , beggin bacon☺️. This may also be their 2nd time eating if the owner has it noted in their regimen. After each walk the dogs are wiped down with water and sprayed with oatmeal flea preventing spritz. I always wiped down pets before returning to owner. I do complimentary wash pets if under my care they get dirty. If given to me dirty, I don’t mind washing them for a small fee. As the evening rolls around they get a short walk and we wind down with Disney Pixar movies and belly rubs.

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.
