I’ll run or hike with your dog

Pet care experience

I’m a patient, but energetic dog-sitter. I pay close attention to the cues your dog gives me and ensure their needs are met. Being from the PNW, I love being outside and will take your dog for a run, hike, or walk rain or shine. I’ve been dog sitting and walking for years for friends and family and coworkers. I love every pet and always look forward to getting to take them outside for a walk or to spend time with them. I have a flexible schedule due to being an independent contractor and can help out with your pup while you’re at work or stuck in traffic. You can trust I will take the upmost care with your four-legged family member and make sure they keep happy and healthy.

Nikki and Makenna did a fantastic job pet sitting my senior dog and cat while I was out of the country for two weeks. My dog takes multiple medications and has nighttime senility and incontinence and they handled it like pros. Highly recommend them! My animals love them and they leave my home in great condition.

Knew my senior cat and dog would be in great hands after meeting Nikki and Makenna! They are responsive and left my home in great condition. Will absolutely hire them again!

Thanks for a great walk on short notice. The Bean looked like he had a good day.

Safety, trust & environment

I do my best to ensure pets’ needs are met. Care comes in so many forms, including exercise, social time at dog parks, dietary needs, or snuggles. I pay close attention to what the fur babies are communicating and provide them the best care I can.

Information Nikki B. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful for me to know your dog’s temperament around you, strangers, people of different genders, etc. How do they behave in public? Do they pull on their leash when going for walks? Do they lunge at squirrels or cars? I would also love to know about your fur baby’s digestion habits, allergies, treat preferences, medications, etc.

A typical day

Greenlake, Carkeek Park, Greenwood neighborhood, Woodland Park, and northern Ballard neighborhood are all within walking distance of my house. I love throwing the frisbee or tennis ball at Woodland Park or going for a run around Greenlake. The dog treats at Chocolati just north of Greenlake are always a fun stop for those pups whose owners are ok with treats.
