Flexible, considerate, experienced
Pet care experience
Pets have always been one of the greatest joys in my life. My family had dogs when I was a kid and I've had both dogs and cats my entire life. I worked in an intern program at a vet in high school and I've volunteered for animal rescue groups for over 2 decades. I have cared for my cats as they aged and helped friends with their elderly pets when they've had to be away. I'm very detail oriented, my primary job is work from home, as a solutions engineer for a background screening company so I am flexible with scheduling. I am vaccinated & happy to weara mask for meetups if desired.
Reviews
Nikki is great! She kept us updated and sent very cute pictures and updates. She will definitely be our next call when we go out of town!
Nikki helped take care of my 5yo chihuahua who recently had surgery and stitches, while I was at work. She followed all of the instructions closely. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day. She bonded well with my dog and seemed to help her feel calm, even when I wasn’t there. I would definitely recommend this person for your dog sitting needs.
Nikki watched our dog for two weeks in our place and was absolutely amazing. The updates provided throughout our vacation really allowed us to feel good knowing Eva was with a responsible and loving person. If we end up moving here we’ll never use anyone else! Thank you Nikki 🙏
Nikki provided excellent care for our 4 month old puppy. Communication was clear and timely, and we appreciated the regular photo updates while we were gone, which added a great personal touch to the service!

If you want a check in service, I'll spend plenty of time making sure the space is safe and clean, that your pets have food, water, and other needs met. I'll play with them, pet them, or leave them alone if that's what they prefer (especially some cats are like that) and I will treat your space with respect. If I'm staying overnight or all day, I will probably be working during the day, but I love to pet animals while I am working and I will leave your space clean and tidy. On walks we'll go as long as you want, or until the pet seems to tell me they're done. I'll report back on success of potty breaks, any concerns, and pickup after them.
Information Nikki B. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know your pet's favorite toys, if I can give them a treat and what kind, anything to pamper them while they're in my care. I also want to know their usual behavior and what's not usual so I can adapt to their needs.
A typical day
I'll try to keep to your pets schedule so they're as comfortable as can be. I love to play with dogs and cats. We can toss a ball or play tug, I let cats chase the string on a stick or toss the mouse, of course I'll also just sit and snuggle them or leave them to thier own if that is what they prefer. For walking services I'll listen to your desires and the pet's needs.

Availability
I work full time, Monday - Friday but it can be from anywhere with internet. I'm happy to do longer sits, either overnight or multiple days in a row for check-ins, and I'm available for dog walking and pet drop ins as needed!
