Availability

My husband works from home, while I keep a hybrid schedule, which makes it easy for us to care for your pet 24/7. We live in a flat walkable neighborhood with sidewalks and street lights. We take our own dog on frequent walks, and occasionally to the dog run (like Baldwin or Newhall) or on longer hikes (like Lime Ridge).

Information Nikki C. would like to know about your pet

We only ask that your dog be well behaved with children. Our kids are 6 and 4 years old. If you are interested in letting us dog sit for you, we'd love to do a meet and greet with our dog, Edie (13 years old), at a near by park. While she can be a grouchy old lady, she is in fact very sweet.

A typical day

On a typical week day, we are all up around 7am. We drop the kids off at school in the morning and pick the kids up in the afternoon. We typically walk our dog during a break in meetings during the work day. Our neighborhood is flat with sidewalks and very dog friendly. We are sure to scoop our mess on walks, always!

Pet care experience

We've used Rover many times while traveling, and now are happy to host as well. We've had dogs for the last 20 years, and before that, grew up with family dogs and cats. We view our pets as a part of the family. When your dog is staying with us, they will have daily walks and access to our enclosed yard for late night potties. If your dog likes to swim, they can also go for a swim in our pool in the summer. We allow dogs to roam and relax where they are comfortable to. Dogs are allowed on furniture and beds here. Both my husband works from home while I keep a hybrid schedule, and therefore we are home most of the time. Your dog will always have a human and dog companion while staying with us.

Nikki is amazing. She’s attentive and kind to my senior dog. She ensures he is comfortable and engaged through daily walks and back scratches. Grateful for her daily photos of the dogs activities.

Nikki was wonderful! She sent updates and photos everyday. Our old girl and young pup were taken great care of.

Provided great care and updates. Even with all of Hudson nuances of not wanting to walk unless it’s with minimum of two people, Nikki and her husband was able to care for Hudson while we were away visiting family in France for 3 weeks. Thanks again.
