Quality care, safety, enrichment!
Pet care experience
I have been sitting through Rover since 2018. I have taken care of all kinds of breeds and dogs with different needs. I have experience in caring for leash aggressive dogs and dogs who are aggressive to other dogs/animals. I have experience in senior dog care and taking the extra steps to ensure their comfortability. I can also administer medication. Additionally, I am able to provide around the clock care for your pet.
Reviews
Nikki was awesome! I had a last minute booking request and Nikki helped out with zero issues. She had great communication and took great care of my sometimes complicated dog. Would deff book again!

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to care for your pet in your home as to not cause any unnecessary stress related to moving your pet to an unknown space. It’s also easier for me to stick to your pet’s daily routine when they are comfortable and feel safe. Your pet’s safety is my biggest priority.
Home
Information Nikki D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or care that I need to account for. I am able to care for dogs that are more aggressive than others, and I have practiced a two-exit strategy when an aggressive dog is in a multi-dog home.
A typical day
My favorite thing to do with a dog is go for what I call a “sniff walk”. I’ve read that even 15 minutes of sniffing is equal to 1 hour of high energy activity. Our sniff walk can be as long as each dog needs/wants. When caring for cats, I always try to mentally stimulate them by playing with their favorite toys/wands.

Availability
I’m currently working on a contract basis, so I am hoping to schedule pet sittings on my off days. This allows me to provide around the clock care for your pets, ensuring they are getting the attention and enrichment they need while you’re away.
