Safety, trust & environment

When you’re not home, your dog misses you. I’m just there to make them feel safe and connected to someone in the meantime. I take that responsibility seriously.

Information Nikki B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what makes your pet feel loved! What makes them feel safe? How can I best keep them entertained until you get back?

A typical day

My favorite fun fact is that dogs don’t just need walks for the exercise; they need mental stimulation. I love letting your dog change up the routine to check out a new smell, or play tug-of-war with a new toy.

Just looking to cure my puppy fix!

Pet care experience

My first business venture, in elementary school, started with posting flyers in my neighborhood for my dog-walking business, to prove to my parents that I could take care of a family dog if we were to get one. It worked; we got our first family dog, and have been a dog family ever since! Now I have my own golden retriever named Koa who is the light of my life, loves coming with me anywhere he is allowed, and has yet to meet a stranger. I always have a surplus of love to give, especially when it comes to animals, and my post-pandemic job now provides me with plenty of flexibility. Let me love on your fur baby, too!

Nikki took such good care of our little senior dog - she loved on him and followed our directions carefully. She’s so dependable and we highly recommend her.

Nikki was an angel! She came through in a time of need, she was kind and very responsive. I appreciated her caring for my pup, even if he was too scared !
