Pet care experience

Working professional turned graduate student with many years of dog/pet experience. I am an animal lover, with a pup of my own and my partner who works from home 24/7. My home has an enclosed back yard with 24/7 access for your pup! My little puppy loves all dogs and loves to play, so your dog won’t be bored during their stay. I know how hard it is to be away from your pup and how stressful it can be, so I strive to provide frequent updates and plenty of love for your pet. When they’re here, they’re family! I would love to take care your loved one! :)

Nikki took great care of Luna and shared constant updates along with pictures which I REALLY appreciate. I love the fact that she scheduled a meet and great prior to boarding to make sure Luna was a good fit and to see where she would be staying. Luna would be happy to come back!!

Our puppy has stayed with Nikki several times this summer, and we couldn't be happier! Nikki is a great communicator and goes out of the way to do anything we request for our pup (special food for a food allergy, sleeping arrangement in a crate, etc). Our dog is always so excited to go back to Nikki's house. We highly recommend!!

Nikki was amazing! We were on a trip and had a family issue pop up and needed a place for our puppy for one night very last minute. Nikki was so accommodating and amazing and Nemo was so well cared for! We would recommend Nikki to anyone needing care for their pup.

Information Nikki D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog does not get along with other dogs, is food aggressive, or aggressive/possessive over toys. Please also let me know if he has any special needs or triggers so I am more prepared for walk time and caring for your pup in general! Thank you!

A typical day

I have a pup of my own, so daily walks and trips to the park happen daily. We strive to keep a safe pup environment at all times and above all I will treat your pup like my own! There are also plenty of toys strewn about the house and 24/7 access to the outdoor fenced-in backyard.
