Trustworthy, respectful, and fun!

Pet care experience

I prefer to be direct in communication and aim to tell you of any issues as soon as possible! I almost get along better with dogs than with people! I believe in treating other people the way I'd like to be treated and treating pets of all breeds and ages respectfully! I believe in enjoying life! I insist on using positive reinforcement of treats, toys and praise when communicating with dogs I interact with to guide their behavior. I've been enjoying taking care of dogs of all kinds for more than twenty years, from Yorkies to Saint Bernards. I also have experience with cats, bunnies, and bearded dragons. By choosing to have animals as pets, I believe they deserve the best lives we can give them.

Nikki provided excellent care for our pets, and was respectful towards our home! I received an appropriate amount of updates from Nikki, she was conscientious and followed my requests for pet care, and left my home spotless. I would absolutely recommend Nikki, and request her care in the future.

Nikki did a great job with Leo and was very patient with him as he is still learning how to walk on a leash and potty on command. Thank you Nikki!

Nikki took care of Teddy while I was at work for the past few weeks and Teddy was so excited for daycare every time! She did a phenomenal job and I’m so thankful to have found her!

Nikki did a great job taking care of Teddy. She was prompt, responsive and sent me pictures during the stay. Teddy came home gassed which is exactly what I was hoping for!

Information Nikki C. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if a dog enjoys playing fetch and if they have any health issues. While I love all dogs, I'll always have a special fondness for the sassy schnauzer breed, which I grew up with. I'd like to know how they let you go they'd like to take a bathroom break.

A typical day

Dogs staying with me will enjoy visiting parks, playing, fetching, walks of varying lengths! There will be plenty of fresh water, attention, and potty breaks!
