Pet care experience

Always home, fenced in yard!

My 3 kiddos and I love dogs and really enjoy caring for your fur babies! I have 11 years of experience caring for dogs. I work from home. I am an avid runner and would love to walk or run/walk with your pup on our long private drive. We have a 4’ high fenced in yard for your dog to run and play with each other. We are happy to board while you sightsee and your dogs can snuggle up with us and lounge on our couch, or snuggle up in their crate if they prefer. I will be watching my kids carefully to ensure happy and respectful playing. Our dog Buddy is 7 and loves to play with friends. We love to take photos of playtime and cute snuggles.

Doggy Day Care • May 10, 2026

Nikki was so great! it was our first time having our dog be watched on Rover and had her watched while we went to the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Our pup has so much fun and Nikki was so great at updating us to ease our minds!

Perfect in every aspect. I can tell Ghost really enjoyed himself and I was scared he wouldn't want to come back home from all the fun he was having haha. Great service and look forward to booking them again in the future. Thank you very much! Chris

Nikki and family did an excellent job taking care of Charlie. They were nice enough to meet up before Charlie’s stay, and they provided updates throughout his stay too. I hope they have Charlie back in the future as well.

Nikki and her crew are awesome! Great communication, flexible, and excellent care = stress-free time away...not always so easy to find. Our pup can be rather needy. Not only did Nikki and her family made him feel right at home, but she was great about sending updates, so we did not have to worry about him!

Pets

A typical day

On a typical day I wake up and take care of potty breaks, food and water first thing in the morning and when I go for a run they can join if they enjoy it. During the day on weekends we spend time outside and inside relaxing together. I have the dogs eat when I make dinner for my family. At night we like to snuggle and relax together. If your dog is high energy I would love a running buddy!
